THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 189 SILVER ND POPULISM, The Parties of Both Are Wait-| ing for Their National Conventions. LOCAL POPULISTS WAKE UP. The Twin Local Democratic Organiz- ations Make Further Plans for Fratricidal War, The Populist party is being pulled into | campaign shape by W. M. Wardell of Los Angeles, chairman of the State Central Committee, who has recently returned | from an Eastern tour, followed by a trip to Oregon and Washington. He will now proceed to waken things up preparatory to the State Conveution, to meet in Sacra- mento May 12. The Populists are counting much on a coalition with the free-silver men of the State, who may be led to forsake the old | parties in this issue. The free silver men | do not know just what they will do. There is a Bimetallic League, organized last August, but no campaign activity has been displayed or is likely to be before the meeting ot the National Silver Convention St. Louis, July The Populist cam- ill not be definitely ped out until after the Populist Convention, which | | daily. | the' Reddi tion, which will contain 1340 delegates. It will be the largest public National conven- tion ever known in America. T. V. Cator reported the Populists as be- ing thoroughly organized throughout the | State and that their ranks were increasing Thirty-nine delegates will be sent to the National Convention at St. Louis. In this City the clubs in the eighteen Assembly districts will be reorganized. For this purpose the executive committee will meet every Saturday evening hence- forward at Mozart Hall. After the State Conveation shall have finished its labors the State Executive Committee will open headquarters, open to the public daily. Reports come in to the effect that new Populist clubs are being organized in every precinct in the State. of Shasta County clubs are being organ- ized where none existed before. Assemblyman T. W. H. Shanahan of Shasta has left a big gap in the Democratic ranks of that county by forswearing his Democracy and joining the Populists. Mr. Shanahan, 1n 2 card recently published in ing Searchlight, thus slaps the Democracy “When it comes to fellowing a so-called Democratic party which out-Shermans Sherman it is asking too much of a Jeffer- sonian Democrat.” The California silver men will await the developments of those conferenc as the doings of the other parties. Populists will not know until after that date whether there will be fusion with the silver men and_how to build their State platform. In San Francisco the Populists have begun the word of actively reviving and building up their party organization. Lol DEMOCRACY GETS READY. The Buckleylites Labor Again Load- Ing Heavy Guns—The Junta to Meet. and the Junta factions will hold meetings to decide on war measures. Yesterday Chairman W. P. Sullivan George W. Baker, Chairman of the Bimetallic League of California and Member of the National Bimetallic League. [From a photograph.] will meet in St. Louis on the same date as ) the silver convention. : Joseph Asbury Johnson, an able writer in the cause of P n, has attracted the att 1 of pol State by nis lette: Johnson outlined several weeks ago the Ppolicy that will probably be followed by the National conventions of the Populist and silver parties, namely, to hold concur- Tent but not joint sessions; to adopt sepa- | Tate platforms with concessions to both sides, and join forces in making nomina- tions for President and Vice-President of the United States, both conventions nomi- | nating the andidates. | George W. Baker, chairman offthe Bi- metallic League and member of the Na- tional League, said yesterday that the silver men would insist on the freeand un- limited coinage of siiver at the ratio of | 16 to 1. In case of the faiiure of either the | Republican or the Democratic National | conventions to insert a free coinage plank | and to nominate a candidate friendly to it, | the silver mep propose to nominate a | candidate for President themselves, upon that issue alone. An effort was being | made, he eaid, bv Republican Senators | and manufacturers in Pennsylvania and elsewhere to urge the question of silver and protection, but Mr. Baker had not | much faith in their ability to persuade the | National conyentions. - The Republican | State conventions in the East are in favor of what they call sound money, by which they mean gold. “I cannot see any reason to oppose the | roposition to iusert in our platform the opulist plank of direct legislation or the submission to the people of any great guestion affecting the entire people for ratification before it becomes a law,”’ con- tinued Mr. Baker. *I am a Repubiican in | olitics, but, at the seme time, I believe | B the submission to- the people:of. all | great public questions, such as the election | of United States Senators. Idon’t believe | that tbe people of the United States, or of | any State therein, should be denied the free | expression of tbeir will upon any _;:reazl question that affects them in their do- mestic economy or personal liberty, and | for that reason 1 am in full accord with the proposition of direct legislation.’ Mr. Baker added that the Bimetallic | League recognized the fact that the Popu- lists are silver men, and in order to head | off Debs and Taubeneck, who is chair- | man of the Populist National Committee, | the Bimetallic League sent three men to California to the meeling of the Povulist | National Committee with the view of in-| aucing themn to postpone the meeting of | the Populist National Gonvention until after the Democratic and Republican | conventions had framed their piatforms | and nominated their candidates. The | object was also to persuade, if possible, the | Populists to leave out the 0“‘“,',“‘ plat- form this year, ‘for the reason,” added Mr. Baker, *'that it is overloaded with too many issues for one campaign, and to join | Wwith us in the bimetallic free coinage of | silver, the restriction of banks of issue and the iskue of money by the Government, so that gold, silver and paper would be legal | fender for all debts, public and privaie.” “Phe result of this movement was qmt‘x was agreed to hold both conventions in 8 Louis on the same day. On thai occasior there will be a strong effort made to fuse the two parties and to eliminate from the | platform what we considered the ob-| noxious features. I am in favor of the | retiring of the National banks and the | issuing of money by nge Guverr:ment.‘ | “During Presient Cleveland’s adminis- | tration we have had $260,000,000 of bonds | issued to form a husisior‘lbe establishment | more National banks.” g O’Mr. Baker. added that W. H. Mills had informed him thatout of 131 hewspapers in California, the editorsof which had been interviewed by him, more than 100 were in favor of bimetallism, against either of the { old parties, should it come to adirectissue. Fifty-five deiegates will be sent from tt State 1o the Bimetallic National Conven- called a meeting of the presidents of the Junta’s district clnbs for Monday evening. At this meeting various matters supposed to relate to the harmony and success of the party will be discussed. Mr. Sullivan will probably announce on that eveniug the grievance or arbitration committee, which is to do something with the district To ws. The Buckley committee on resolutions regarding Chairman Gould, Gavin McNab and others, and on a report of what was done to the Buckleyites by the State Cen- tral Committee, held another meeting last night and got the vitriolic resolutions nearly ready for Monday night. A. T. Spotts is not a member of this committee as was reported. Its members are Samuel Newman, Thomas Gallagher, Walter Mal- loy, Joseph Rothschild, D.' M. Gavigan and M. J. Donovan. : The new naturalization bureau opened at the Buckley headquarters began its op- erations yesterday by superintending the nnt\;m]izulmn of five aliens at the City Hall. There was something of a frost in the meeting of the Iroquois Club last evening. Eighteen people heard a discussion by George H. Cabaniss and others on the need of iegislation to prevent the incorporation of large estates. R SR Thirty-Fifth Republicans. The Republicans of the Thirty-fifth dis- trict and many others attended a rousing mass-meeting at Stanford Hall, Twenty- eighth and Valencia streets, last evening. C. W. Kyle, Colonel T. Eddy and oth- ers made stirring addresse CARPENTERS' UNION. Organization A New for Italian, French and Spanish Work- men. A number of Italian, French and Span- ish carpenters in this City have amal- gamated into a union, their principal ob- ject being to obtain a day of eight hours’ labor and to fix the rate of remuneration for their labors at not less than $3 a day. The organization, which held its first meeting in Apollo Hall on Thursday, will be known as the Unione dei Falegnami Italiani, Francesi e Spagnuoli (the Union of Italian, French and Spanish Carpen- ters). Atthe meeting it was stated that there are a number of workmen at North Beach and in other parts of the City and State who hesitate about joining the ex- isting unions because they understand English imperfectly. No knowledge of English will be necestary in order to join the new union, but is intended, from time to time, to hold discussions in Eng- lish, in order to familiarize the members with that language. In the Italian colony there are at least 200 carpenters, and those interested in pro- moting the new organization point out that it all joined the union they woula he strong erough to accomplish a good deal. C. F. Schadt explained at the meeting all he benefits that the organization would confer upon its membess, laying particu- lar stress upon the eight hours’ labor and the $3 a day. G. Maccono gave some sug- gestions in English, and Pietro Gori strongly urged the North Beach carpen- ters to combine in oraer to secure their rights. 5 On Thursday evening the constitution was signed by: E. Picasso, J. Corsiglia, 0. Maccono, 8. Cavallera, J. M. Bologna, A. Davini, F. Postiglione, 8. Sobrino, V. Mazzati, G. B. Dondero, G. B. Rocca, Carlo Rosso, Biagio Poggi, D. Perrier. There will be a meeting of the new or- ganization on Tuesday next, at 8 p. M., to select a president and secretary and to make application for recognition to tke central committee of similar organiza- tions, which is situated in Philadelphia. o ail the precincts | ext Monday evening both the Buckley | STRIKERS WILL COMPETE They Will Give the Bosses Until Monday to Effect a Settlement. WILL THEN BID FOR WORK Claim That They Will Be Able to Underbid the Master Painters on All Work. So far as the journeymen painters are | concerned the strike that is now fairly on | is not 1o be a passive one, but they are in- | clined to give the master painters, they | say, all the time necessary to consider the situation fully and in all its bearings be- fore they take aggressive action. Itisnot | to be understooa, however, that by aggres- | sive action is meant anything in the shape | of violence, for such a course is deprecated by every one who has any influence as a leader of the striking union men. There was a meeting yesterday afternoon of the Painters’ and Decorators’ Union, at which the committees which have engaged | in the work of calling out all the men at | work made their reports. These were most encouraging to the strikers, as they were | to the effect that with but very few excep- | tions all the men had premptly responded to the call of the union to quit work. ‘I'ne matter of co-operaiion on the part of members of the union for the purpose of competing with the master painters for the painting jobs to bedone was considered, and a committee of twenty-five was ap- pointed to devise plans for carrying the proposed scheme into operation, should the bosses not have effected a settlement with the strikers by Monday next. Speaking of this phase of the situation, Mr. Melvor said yesterday: “We have been offered anv amount of | work, and some of the bosses have come | to us to take the coniracts that they have been unable to complete off their hands. In fact, we can get all the work we want, but we do not care to go into competition | with the bosses unless we have to, but if | we are forced to go into the market to pro- | tect ourselves we will soon demonstrate | that we are better able to do the work at low rates than the present bosses, and we will do this, even if we have to make great personal sacrifices.” Referring to the statement of President | Black of the Master Painters’ Association, Mr. Mclvor said: *‘Mr. Black says that the combination between the master painters is not to defeat the journeymen, but that it is to secure materials at a discount from the prices that are charged outsiders. We believe that the object of this movement is to prevent us or property-owners from buying the materials at the same rate that has been charged the bosses, so as to pre- vent us from entering the market in com- petition with them, “‘He also says that the property-owners | are with the master painters, as should they lose it would increase the cost of re- pairs for them. That is not so, and he knows it. Property-owners of the jour- neymen themselves can buy the material for the same price that it is bought by the bosses, and as for the matter of wages the property-owner always has been charged the full union scale of wages whether the boss has actnally been paying them or not. I went to the whole- | salers myself and they are willing to let us have stock on the same conditions on which they are sold to the master painters, and we do not ask for anything else.”” Energetic work is being done to make the mass-meeting at Metropolitan Hall to- night a grand success. The musicians have volunteered to provide a band for the parade which will start from the Temple at 115 Turk street at 7 o’clock. The exer- cises at Metropolitan Temple will begin at | 8 p. 3., and will consist of addresses and a | literary and musical programme. Itis ex- pected that there will bea large attend- ‘antce of the best laboring element in the | City. g et THE CROWD CRIED “SCAB.” An Exciting Incident of the Strike on Post Street. An exciting incident of the strike oc- curred yesterday afternoon at the Hotel Savoy, corner of Post ana Powell streets. Painters were at work on the hotel build- ing and they refused to leave when re- quested by the union delegates. Soon afterward the situation was re- ported at headquarters, and almost 150 members of the Painters’ Union volun- teered to go to the hotel. It was their in- tention to use their united endeavors in a friendly way toward impressing the work- men. They hoped that by presenting a solid front an impression wouid be made on these non-nnion men, bat success did not follow the attempt. The presence of such a large namber of men naturally attracted a crowd to the corner of Powell and Post streets. During the parley the crowd waited patiently, and when no persuasion could move the work- men repeated criesof “‘scab’’ went up from the street. ““These men were working for F. A. Jen- nings, who has a sub-contract on the job from St. Denis,” said Committeeman Doyle of the Painters’ Union last evening. “‘There were only threeof them on the iob, anyhow, so it did not worry us much ‘shen they refused to quit. This is practically the only job in town that is not tied up by the union.” Ty A MAY DISBAND. Labor Council Members Consider Its Utllity as Practically Ended. There is a. probability that the Labor Council will soon be a thing of the- past. At the weekly meeting of the council last evening a proposition to disband was dis- cussed at length in executive session. Some of the members are convinced that the necessity for the council is obviated by the recently organized Trades and Labor Alliance. After a heated discussion the matter was left to a committee to ascer- tain the views of the various unions and report next Friday evening. 'he Pattern-makers’s Association was admitted to membership in the council, and John Hill; their duly accredited dele- gate, was seated. Otto Grassmann of Bakers’ Union No. 24 stated that at the convention held the | | | { any individual. first of the week the bakers had decided to march witi the painters to-night. The executive committee recommended that the organizing committee work with the new union of garment-makers, to the end that they might be initiated into the workings of unionism and that dealers might be induced to accept their products. | A committee from the Iron Molders’ Union, which was appointed to investigate the sale of convict-made stoves in the City, reported that negotiations were pend- ing which they believed would resuit in the discontinuance of their sale. J. W. Rose, president of the Painters’ Union, extended an invitation to the council to occupy seats on the platform at this evening’s session. The invitation was accepted with applause. Will Bury Bertha Bryaat. Rev. Dr. Elliott, in whose family Bertha Bry- ant, who committed suicide in a Post-street lodging-house, had formerly been a domestic, called at the Morgue yesterday and took charge of the body, which will be given a re- spectful burial in a lof the City Cemetery. CABALISTIC SIGNS. A I:nmry-’l‘lcknt Seller Caught in the Act by a Policeman in the Mission. The cabalistic signs made by canvassers and others on doors in the Mission have put the police on their mettle, and a strict lookout has been kept for any one doing so. Yesterday afternoon Policeman Smith saw an old man making marks with a pencil on the doors of houses in the neigh- borhood of Diamond arnd Twenty-fourth streets after he had made a call. Smith got as close to him as he could, and when he had ocular demonstration of the fact placed him under arrest. He examined the mark and found it was in the form of the letter “P.” The lady of the house told Smith that the old man bad been selling her a lottery ticket. Smith took the old man to the Seven- teenth-street station, where he gave the namne of George Peters, 60 years of age. He admitted that he had been seling lottery tickets and made the mark on the doors'so as to show him that the house was safe to call at in future. He was booked on_the charges of selling lottery tickets and malicious mischief. Peters has been a resident of the Mis- sion fora number of years and kept a fruit-store on Twenty-fourth and Mission streets, and later on Valencia street. After giving up the fruit business he started in to sell lottery tickets. YOU SHOULD SECURE ONE While They Last, but It Is Necessary to Act Promptly. The evident anxiety to secure one of those introductory sets of the Encyclo- peedic Dictionary by no means argues that any large number of homes on the coast are without such & useful educational ad- junct. It simply means that those who have an indifferent dictionary see a chance of se- curing a good one, while those who have a good one hope to get a better. For in these days one feels obliged to keep up to date, and this very quality of being up to date on all progressive subjects is justly claimed for the new work. And the Pacific Coast Newspaper Syndi- cate believes that, by placing 500 sets of the book in that many cultured homes, where it can be compared with other dic- tionaries and cyclopedias, its superiority will become at once apparent. At all events, the public shows a keen interest in the experiment, and is taking advantage of the opportunity offered to se- cure the four volumes which make up the work at the nominal cost and on the easy terms of payment which temporarily pre- vail. But a few days will see the end of this notable distribution, as the 500 sets have been going fast and will soon be allotted. Two things should be borne in min First, ‘hat this offer is not confined to San Francisco, but appliés to all sections reached by the great San Francisco dailies; and, second, the volumes may be returned any time within ten days and money re- funded if they are not found precisely as represented. FRIENDS OF CALIFORNIA. Organization of a New Society of Ladies and Gentlemen. A new organization which styles itself “The Sons and Daughters of the Old Friends of the State of California” will be instituted on the 3d of April, 1896, at Red Men’s Hall, 510 Bush street, by the officers of their parent organization, the Society of Old Friends. They will give their in- augural banquat at_the Commercial Hotel Friday evening, May 1, at 8 o’clock, for which ample preparatipns are being made. X Last evening the following officers were elected and installed for the ensuing term: President, Dr. Franklin F. Lord; first vice-president, Mrs. P. H. Hinl second vice-president, Mr. de las Casa: recording secretary, hurry ¥. McGurren; financial secretary, Miss Dora Hink; treasurer, Spiro A. Dragomanovich; con- ductor, Mrs. F. F.

Yunker, Miss Emily Jacobson, Mrs. Alfred Perrier. —————— SAYS THEY ARE ONE. ‘Women Temperance Workers and Suf- fragists Need Not Conflict. Commenting upon the goneral impres- sion that the Woman’s Christian Temper- ance Union convention will not be wel- comed by the woman suffragists, the Paci- fic Ensign, the W. C. T. U. organ, says: It is to be regretted that the impression has gotlen out that there is an antagonism between the suffragists and the W.C. T. U.in regard to holding the National convention of the W. C. T. U. in San Francisco. While there may be a difference of opinion in regard to the effect of the convention, that will not prevent the two working together harmoniously. Thisisnot a temperance fight. Did the suffragists expect to bring tne influence of the temperance peo- ple to bear upon the campaign, an invitation would have been extended to the National convention to convene here in October. As the time set for holding this gathering is in November, after the State election, it proves that the suffragists ‘are going into the fight with but one issue, and will stand or fall on its merits. The justness of the ballot being granted to woman is their_one plea, and they willnot go into any hy-fluflu to join on or to fight their issues; noris it their intention to inquire into the rrsounl belief or status of free and untrammeled bal- lovis what is desired, and all in harmony with that sentiment will be asked to unite in ad- vancing it and to support it b? ballot, be they “bond or free, Jew or gentile.” Impersonated an Officer. Alfred Langley, a boiler-maker, was arrested last evening by Oficers Collins and Flinn and detained at the California-street police station on the charge of impersonating an officer. Lang- ley has been in the habitof visiting the tender- loin districtand after exhibiting a star which surreptitiously came into his possession he extorted money from the unfortunate women, threatening to arrest them on various charges in case they refused to liberally contribute to his support. Last night he was caught in the act and promptly arrested. —_———— Charles A. Mars’ Death. The cases of Daniel Dunn, James Holmes, William Patee, John Drugan, Michael Shine and William J. Dowling, striking lathers charged with the murder of Charles A.Mars, who died at his home, 765 Harrison street, Thursday morning, were called in Judge Low’s court yesterday and were continued till March 26, to await the resultof the Coroner's inquest. ey oy Was Not the Strangler. Upon investigation the weird story eircu- latea last evening that the strangler who mur- dered May McDermott and Berthe Paradis had again made an assault on & woman of the ten- derloin_district has proven to be without foundation. — An Unaccountable Disappearance. D. Z. Wright left his home in Novato, Marin County, March 12, and has not since been heard from. He was last seen coming to San Fran- cisco.

Sanborn, Vail & Co. . EDEN VALLEY COLONISTS, Over 100 Arrive and Will En- gage in Raising Livestock in Mendocino. THOUSANDS MORE TO COME. A Tract of About 40,000 Acres of Land Secured for Their Occupancy by Father Jeram. The Rev. Father Peter Joseph Jeram, president of the California Slavonian col- ony, Eden Valley, Mendocino County, arrived here yesterday, accompanied by 102 people for the colony. They came from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin and other States. Three were from Rock Springs, Wyo. All the colonists were quartered at the Russ House, and after lunch went to see the park, Cliff and other attractions of the City. They are largely of German, Slavonian and Aus- trian extraction. All are bound to Eden Valley, where 22,000 acres of land have been purchased, and where a bond has been obtained on as much more. The colonists will cenduct their business on the co-operative plan. They are practical growers of livestock, and this will be their specialty in Eden Valley. They will raise cattle, hogs and fowls and, as Father Jeram states, when a 60 per cent duty is placed on wool they will raise sheep. A “This is only the beginning of our colony enterprise,” said Father Jeram. *All the arrangements have been made for it to become a gigantic success. That valley up there is to be a new fatherland to the colonists. We have got 22,000 acres there now and have arranged to take a great deai more. There will be some more colonists to-morrow and abont 125 on Sun- day, and after that they will come along by Bundreds. “There will be many thousand colonists before we complete our work. Fully 3000 will be in the valley before the end of the year.” N. H. Lang of Young & Lang, whose firm is interested in the lands secured for the colony, was with Father Jeram. Mr. Lang recounted that the colony was in- corporated on the basis of $500,000. The land lies between the north and middle forks of the Eel River, forty-seven miles north of Ukiah. It was only recently thrown open to colonization. Large quan- tities of hardware, groceries and other supplies have been forwarded for the colo- nists. Of the crowd who arrived yester- day there were 43 men, 25 women and 34 children. The colonists appear to be very ener- getic, active people. Jackson’s Beautitul Epitaph. “I contend that no more beautiful epi- taph was ever written than that written by President Andrew Jackson regarding his wife,” said Captain Sam Donelson of Ten- nessee, and he took from his pocket-book a scrap of paper that he has carried for many years. Captain Donelson is a great- nephew of the wife of Old Hickory, but everybody will subscribe to the beauty of the words written in her memory: ‘‘Here lie the remains of Mrs. Rachel Jackson, wife of President Jackson, who died December 22, 1828, aged 61 years. Her face was fair, her person pleasing, her temper amiable and her heart kind. She delighted in relieving tbhe wants of her. fellow-creatures and cultivated that divine leasure by the most liberal and unpre- ending methods. To the poor she was a benefactor, to the rich an example, and to the wretched a comforter. Her piety went hand in hand with her benevolence, and she thanked her Creator for being permitted to do good; a being so gentle and yet so virtuous slander might wound but could not dishonor. Even death, when he tore her from the arms of her husband, could but transport her to the bosom of her God.”—Pitisburg Dispatch. —————— Two West Africa love birds, two king penguins, one Persian gazelie, one puff adder, one salt-water terrapin, two Indian jerboas and one Delalande’s gecko, among many other interesting specimens, have recently been added to the collection at the Zoological Society Gardens, London. — e A Bequest Gratefully Acknowledged. At the regular monthly meeting of the board of directors of the German General Benevolent Sociely last night a resolution of thanks was voted to Mrs. Isaac Hecht for the paymentof her Jate husband’s bequest of $2000. Expressions of the highest esteem and appreciation in memory of the generous donor were embodied in the resolution. A ALY Railroad Case Continued. The case of the Southern Pacific Company against the State Board of Railroad Commis- sfoners went over until Tuesday in the United States Circuit Court yesterday. FOR COUNTRY'S SAKE. INDIAN FIGHTER SUFFERS AGONIES FROM DISEASE. AN He Was in the Battle With the Apaches When Geronimo Was Captured. From the Press, New York City. ‘Worn with the exposure of army life on the frontier and_poisoned by the continued drink- ing of alkali water, Joseph Flegauf returned to Philadelphia eight years ago, broken down in nealth and unable to do any work. He served five years with the Ninth United States Infantry in many desperato fight with the Indians in Arizona and other frontier States and had won an enviable record. In the fierce conflict when Geronimo, th: famous chief of the Apaches, was captured, Mr. Fle- ERuE was smong the' brave soldiers \ho, for- getful of everything but duty, charged upon the hostile Indians. Life on the plains sent to an untimely death many soldiers who were never touched by a redskin’s bullet or arrow, and Mr. Flegauf came near such a fate as that. A long time before his time was out he was taken seriously ill, but he stuck to his post until an honorable discharge was finally given to him. When_ he reached Philadelphia the Indian fighter was scarcely more than skin and bones, and for three weeks he lay desperately ill in a ital. He felt dizzy, and his stomach felt as if it had dried up. These symptoms were accompanied by bloody dysentery, which no medicine seemed to relieve. After two years of suffering Mr. Flegauf came to New York and was treated by several hysicians. These did not agree, some calling gh disease catarrh of the stomach and others chronic diarrhea. 2 5 In speaking 10 & reporter about his illness Mr. Flegauf said the doctors hielped him, but, with all the money he spent for advice and medicine, he was able to work only a small rtof the time. Since proving to his present ome, No.517 West Forty-second street, in New York, about a year ago, Mr. Flegauf has been 8o ill_that his voice and hw‘ng almost left im. Then all medicines failed, and the sick man haa little hope of recovery. At this critical time Dr. Willlams’ Pink Pills for Pale Pecple were recommended to Mr. Flegauf, and, almost 8s o 1ast hope, he began taking them. “The beneficial effect of the medicine was felt at once,” Mr. Fiegauf told the reporter, “and before I had taken a box I began to eat with relish. Three boxes made me so much better that I began work and have been able to keep at it since, for five months.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are not a patent medicine in the sense that name implies. They were first compounded as a preseription and used as such in general prac- tice by an eminent physician. So great was their efficacy that it was deemed wise to place them within the reach of all. They are now ‘manufactured by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady. N. Y., and are sold in Boxes (never in loose form by the dozen or hundred. and the public are cautioned .f.m“ numerous imitations sold in this shape) at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2 50, and may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company. THE BRONTE MANUSORIPTS. Some Treasures in a London Soclety’s Museum. The chief treasures in the Bronte So- ciety’s museum are among the manu- scripts, which are both numerous and in- trinsically interesting. Round one of them—the plain, calf-bound volume which contains the original manuscript of the first_volume of ‘Jane Eyre’’—the whole exhibition may be considered to center. It is written in a tiny band on the quarto letter-paper in general use at that day and_fills 225 pages. The date, “March 16, 1847,” written at the top of the opening page, shows that it was not toe first copy, _gut a transcript. The first copy of the novel had, we know, been com- menced seven months before in the chill- ing solitude of a lodging in a back street in Manchester, whither Charlotte Bronte had accompanied her poor blind father, who was about to undergo an operation on his eyes, _The story was first written in pencil in little square manuscript books, and thence transcribed so carefully that in the whole volume in the exhibition scarcely half a “ozen erasures are to be found. To Lon- don it went in the early summer, and after wandering backward and forwarded among different publishers—rejected and proba- bly unread—it went in August to Messrs. Smith, Elder & Co., wasaccepted and made its appearance in the following October. George Smith, the veteran head of the firm, the history of which would be almost a history of the best modern English liter- ature, now lends the book to the society, and with it the first volume of the manu- scrivt of “Villette.” This extends to 272 pages, and is probably the first and only copy.
