THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1896. MARKETST, ENTHUSIASTIC One Day’s Interviews About the Great Home Remedy, Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla. A Startling Unanimity of Opinion Expressed by Many Leading Merchants. During an experience of five or six years of continuous interviewing in this City, with an idea to secure the most interesting matter possible for publication in the great daily papers, I have never come across such an absolute consensus of opinion as I found within an hour after I had been detailed to secure opinions as to the merits of Joy’s Vegzetable Sarsapar- illa. My instructions were plain and to the point—to take at random any section of any street not comprising more than three or four blocks, and, without going from house to house, to interview as many people as seemed necessary in order to be able to form a fair judgment as to the gen- eral opinion as to the various merits of Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla. Ot course it is comparatively easy if you have a pocketful of money and no con- sience {o getall the indorsements that you jesire for almost anything if you know For instance, it would scarcely without a large fee in your pocket ing made due preparations for the ary, to approach an_expert proposition for him to wple of the gold brick had the indiscretion to zitimate occupation), nor wouid it be wise to go to the branch United States Treasury and ask for an opinion as to the perfection of any specific make of “‘green goods,”’ but given a few dollars most of the hard-working and poorer cla: may at most times be in- duced to lend their names to the indorse- ment of something of which they know little or nothing. They think it 1s_harm- less and possibly doing the interviewer a *‘good turn,”” as they cail it. But here was a very different proposition—viz., to go on the City’s principal thoroughfare and to straightforwardly question a half dozen or more people who are prominent and well known for their integrity, reli- ability and general perspicuity. The result of the queries must convey to the mind of eve: nbiased man or woman the fact that Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla is all that it is claimed to be. It could not be otherwise. In no single instance did any one of the gentlemen interviewed express the slightest doubt as to the value of the remedy. d one been inquiring as to the safety of investing in United States gold bonds the gentlemen seen could scarcely have more happily agreed. Indeed, there was no dissenting voice, and as the good book hath it, “In the mouth of many witnesses shall the trath be established.” And now for the interviews: WHAT MR. P. R( NBURG SAYS. Strolling into the well-known gentle- men’s furnishing goods store of Weill & Beck, 940 Market street, I was courteously received by Mr. P. R. Rosenburg, in the absence of either of the partners. “May I ask if you have ever used Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla?” I queried. T have,”” he stated plainly. _ “Would you mind giving me your opin- ion as to its merits?”’ “It is certainly a very fine sarsaparilia; it cleanses the blood and does not mar the face with lines or anything of that sort. “You know what I mean,” he went on. “Of course, it is possible to cleanse the blood by weakening the system, but that Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla does not do, at least, it did not in my case. It has been of exceptional benefit to me, and I am pieased to indorse it.” “May [ quote you as saying this?’ was asked him. *“Why, certainly,”” replied Mr. Rosen- I never object totelling the truth ne.”’ burg, at any . Weill & Beck have a very high standing in the commercial world, and it has been their aim to select straightforward as well as courteous employes, and to their envied reputation in this particular much of their success is doubtless due. H. 0. EXPRESSES UEARLY. MR. HIMSELF There are few of the fair sex who do not know Mr. H. O. Stearnsof 1006 Market street, whose candies and bonbons have for so many years been the ‘‘proper” as well as the nicest confections. e has been fogthe past ten years in his present place of business and has earned the con- fidence of every one who knows him. When asked his opinion of Joy’s Vege- table Sarsaparilla he said: “I don’t know of anything that I ever heard spoken of so highly 1n my life, and my good opinion of it does not rest on hearsay alone. I use it in my own family and use it regu- larly. We keep it home because we never know when one of the little ones may be a little bit *‘under the weather.” We find that it invariably does good. Itsactionis mild but always satisfactory. “A lady who li in my house,” he went on, “‘used Joy’s Vegetable Sarsarilla for quite a long time, and she always spokein the most glowing terms of what it had done for her. She suffered, I think, from dyspepsia more than any- thing else, buf no matter whether my memory is correct on that point or not, I can assure you of this—that she would not have been without Joy’s Vegetable Sarsa- parilla, no matter what it might have cost her. Luckily enough she was one of those who could afford to bave anything that was good.” Ispenta few minutes more chatting with Mr. Stearns, for he is a most entertaining talkcer, as well as_being a be- liever in home industry. He is a worker for the benefit of all Californians. There is po question but that his candies com- pare more than favorably with any East- ern or foreizn importation, and they are all strictly home-made products. JOHN A. K DY IS EMPHATIC. Nolan Bros. have recently opened a new shoestore at 1024 Market street, and with characteristic business sagacity they have installed Mr. John A. Kennedy, who for ten or more years was prominently identified with Russell's shoehouse on Market street, opposite Third. Mr. Kennedy is probably one of the best-known shoe men in the City. Straight as an arrow and of kindly face, his Celtic eyes look at you with an air of most evident sincerity. Asked as to the merits of Joy’s Vegetable Sarsapar- jila he said: “I am lucky enough never to have been ill myself. Asto its merits, I bave had as clear proof as any rational man could desire. Right here before my own eyes I see at least two young men for whom I know it has done lots of good. It has purified their blood and put their sys- tems, so they tell me, into what I might pernaps apily describe as ‘good working order.’” But these are not the only cases that I know of by any means. I have several friends who use it regularly, and, whiie I don’t wisn publicity u%nny nature, if you ask me I can only tell you, that should any one inauire of me as to the merits of Joy’'s Vegetable Sarsaparilla I should be compelled, whether I wished to or not, to say that I knew it to be a most excellent tonic and blood purifier.” And then, with an easy courtesy, Mr. Kennedy said: “May I introduce you to Mr. Ross, a gentleman who is now in our employ, and who has used the remedy of which you ask me, and who will probably beable to tell you more lucidly than I can just how much it has done for him.” J. E. ROSS' GLORIOUS EXPERIENCE. Mr. Kennedy called Mr. Ross, familiar- ily known as *‘Joe,” and, introducing the interviewer, he said, *“Di ’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla helpyou at all, Joe?” “Well,” he replied, “I should say it *Po tell you the truth,” continued Mr, Ross; as he turned to the interviewer, “I can scarcely believe that there isa begter remedy than Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla. I nad dyspepsia, which bothered me very much, and I scarcely looked for any nelp for that trouble. I got the sar- saparilla to purify my blood, but i1mme- diately upon commencing to take it I found that it helped my dyspepsia won- derfully. Don’t misunderstand me. The relief was almost instantaneous, and as far as the purification of my blood and the {oning up of my system generally was con- cerned the remedy did all and more than all that I ever expected 1n my most_san- guine moments. It braced me up. I got rid of all that worried and tired feeling that I haa had and it made me feel as i i as a young colt, if 1 may =l use the expression. Mr. Ross certainly did not seem to be suffering very seriously when I inter- viewed him. He has a face which indi- cates clear determination and stability of character; and that he will makea suc- cess, and probably a great one, as a shoe- man when the opportunity arrives there can be but little doubt. In fact Mr. Ross would make a success of anything he undertook. “PHIL" SELDNER KNOWS THE TRUTH. There are few people in the City who make friends more easily or who keep them more constantly than does *Phil” Seldner, the popular gentlemen’s furnish- ing goods man of 1102 Market street. If you were to ask ‘“Phil,” as they call him, as to whether he had a better stock of goods than anybody else in the City the probabilities are that, with_his becoming modesty, he would say, ‘‘No, but just as good as any one else,’” It is possible by telling the truth about his wares, his cor- rect style ties and his fashionable shirts, that Mr. Seldner has managed to have and to keep as good a connection as any one on the coast. “Will you please tell me if you have ever taken Joy’s Vepetanle Sarsaparilla?” was asked him while I was standing outside his store, 1102 Market street. “Idon’t think I ever have,” said Mr. Seldner: “‘though it is kept in my house atall times. What makes you ask me?”’ “I want. to gather the opinions of a few people in this block on that great home remedy,” was the reply. *I expect thatI could give you as cor- rect an idea as to what people’s opinions are as you will find anywhere in the City,” said Mr. Seldner. ““The truth of the matter is,” said he, “that it is very popular everywhere, and Iam convinced that its popularity is due to its merits. You know you can get one or two people to indorse almost any remedy, bulfhnve heard Joy’s Veretable Sarsaparilla spoken of so highly and so often that notonly do I keep it in my house, but were I ever to feel thet I needed a tonic or if 1 had dys- pepsia, or even if I suspected that my liver was a little out of order, I should cer- tainly take Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla without hesitation. “How many people have I heard speak highly of it? That is a pretty difficult question for me to answer. At leastten ora dozen and possibly twenty. But you can quote me as saying, that I never once heard any one speak of it that did not in- dorse it most highly.” And then, with that camaradie for which “Phil” is so noted, he said: *“Now, I have given you all the information thatI can, and I ho you will make no mistake in quoting it." MR. J. G. M'DONALD TALKS. There are probably not twenty ladies who do their own household buyingin the City who do not know Mr. McDonald’s tea and cracker store of 1120 Market street. Mr. McDonald has been well known here for a dozen years or more, and when I asked him as to whether he took Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla he replied: “No, I have had the good fortune not to require a sarsaparilla, but if I had I should most assuredly take Joy’s. It has been highly commended by a large number of pecple and [have every reason to suppose it is excellent. Of course every one knows that sarsaparilla has earned a great reputation as a general tonic and blood purifier, ana so far as the home remedy is concerned of course I should prefer it always.” This was the final interview for the day and one of the pleasantest, but for that matter they were all pleasant. There was no desire except to get at the truth as to what the popular opinion was about the great home remedy, and this first day left little to be desired if a complete indorse- went of it was the thing wished. California has made & reputation among her sister States for the wonders that she has pro- duced from her soil, and though gold pos- sibly has been most sought after it is still doubtful as to whether it is the one which has done most good for the world. Joy’s Sarsapariila is a purely vegetable prepara- tion, and all of its ingredients are pro- duced in California. It is true that that may not be to some people an exception- ally strong argument in its favor, but when it has so eminently proved its supe- riority to every other sarsaparilla on the market. when 1t has been demon- strated beyond a shadow of a question that it contains no iodides; when it has been shown as clearly as the X rays show the interior of man that it produces no pimples, nor does it mar either the face or body in any way; that it actually is the best tonic, blood-purifier and - system- builder on earth, it may readily be claimed that Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla: is a product_of California soil which will do for mankind what gold never could do, namely: Give him perfect health. ‘WitLiaM CHENHALLS. EXPLORER H. OE WINDT, He Has Arrived From London on His Way to Alaska and Siberia. Differs Radically From Kennan in the Treatment of Russian Convicts. Harry de Windt of London, an explorer and correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette, who has written manv books, arrived here yesterday on the San Blas, and is at the Palace. He is en route to penetrate some of the wilds of Alaska, and returning will ex- plore portions of Siberia, going finally to Irkutsk. Mr. de Windthas been in Siberia three times hitherto, and has visited many of the noted prisons and convict settle- ments. He differs radically from George Kennan in his views of the treatment of these prisoners. According to Mr. de ‘Windt, the Russian convict has about the best time possible to imagine. Usually he works or not, as he desires, and if he does work he is paid for it. He has leisure, and can talk and smoke, something unheard of in English prisons. Finally Mr. de Windt is of the opinion that of all the hard citizens he ever met, the Russian convicts as a class are the worst, Gentlemen who have committed murder and other somewhat similar in- discretions may be found in goodly num- bers in and about the penal settlements, and it is about all a man’s life is worth to fall into their hands in byplaces. Mr. de Windt for a long time was con- nected with the London Graphic as well as the Pall Mall Gazette. He has traveled up some of the great rivers of China, into India, Russia and many other countries, fi)ing by the methods prevalent in each. e has been traveling nearly all his life. Of the books he has written one is “Peking to Calais by Land” and “Siberia as It Is,” a third “A Ride to India,”’ and another is called “‘On the Equator.” He has also written one novel. Mr. de Windt is 37 years old and slightly above the average height. He left London in November and came by steamer to Colon. Since then be has been in the tropics of the continent. His servant, W. G. Harding, who has been with him on his travels for several years, preceded him at the Palace, haviflg come from Lon- don via New York. Mr. probably be here about a week before start- ing for Alaska and Siberia. SAVANNAH BANK ROBBERS Frank Williams, One of the Men Wanted, Arrested on a Train. HE GAVE DR. LEE THE BONDS. Important Discovery Made in Lough- ridge’s Trunk of a Box Filled With Rare Coins. An important discovery has been made which the police think will prove beyond & doubt William Loughridge’s complicity in the robbery of the State. Bank at Savan- nah, Mo. Detectives Whitaker and Reynolds on Monday night searched Loughridge’s room in the house on Devisadero street, where he had been living. They broke open a trunk and found a tin box filled with rare coins, which was taken from the bank vault at the time of the robbery. Among the coins was a 50-cent piece coined by the Confederate States. The box and its contents were taken to Captain Lees, as also a bundle of letters which are said to throw considerable light upon the movements of the gang since the burglary. So pleased was the captain at the find that he caused Loughridge to be registered at the City Prison as a fugi- tive from justice. Loughridge was taken before Judee Campbell yesterday to answer the charge At the request of Carroll Cook, his attorney, the of carrying a concealed weapon. case went over till to-day bail being fixed at $1000. 2 The argument on the writ of habeas liams) and Dr. Lee is detained. No other men are under arrest.” ITALIAN CARPENTERS. They Perfected a Strong Labor Union Last Night in Apollo Hall. About sixty persons were present at Apollo Hall, 810 Pacific street, last even- ing for the purpose of forming an Italian carpenters’ union. The meeting was called to order by C.F. 8hadt, organizer for the carpenters’ unions, who briefly stated the purpose of the meeting and then calted upon J. Macconeo to explain things to the satisfaction of the Italian contingent. The latter explained at some length the benefits to be derived from a umion, and drew an object lesson from the strike of six years ago, when the unions forced the contractors to pay the old wage of $350a day. Emanuel Picasso followed with a plea for all to enter, stating that in unity and harmony is strength. He was prompted at intervals hf’ A. Serafini, editor of La Voce del Popolo. Macconeo was elected chairman pro tem- Hore and V. Maggio secretary. Twenty- ve names were placed on the list, and a fund for expenses was started by J.T. Gomo prepatatory to sending to Pzihdel- phia for a charter. The next meeting will be held Friday evening at the same piace. WILL INTEREST CAPITAL, The South San Francisco Pottery in a Fair Way to Open Its Doors. Steiger Brothers Have Found a Way Out of Their Financial Dif- ficulties. The financial troubles of Steiger Brothers, owners of the South San Francisco Pot- tery, seem in a fair way to be speedily ad- -justed, and there is every prospect that the establishment will shortly open its doors and run full blast, at least until con- tracts amounting to several hundred thou- sands of dollars are completed. The matter started through a San Jose bank that held heavy mortgages on the concern threatening to foreclose. For some time past the firm has had difficulty, in fact it failed, in collecting the amounts - FRANK WILLIAMS Two of the Conspicuous Figures in the Savannah (Ga.) Bank Robbery. [Sketched by a “Call”’ artist.] corpus for Loughridge’s release was con- tinued by Judge Slack yesterdav till to- morrow morning, and it is expected by that time an officer will be here from Kansas City with the necessary papers for his extradition. The prisoner’s bonds were fixed at $25,000. It was argued by Carroll Cook that the complaint upon which the pris- oner was detained was invalid for the rea- son that it was verified upon ‘‘information and pelief.” The Judge asked him to pre- sent authorities to support his contention to-morrow. An important capture was made by the police last aveninp and Captain Lees now has in the “tanks” the man who gave Dr. Benjamin B. Lee the bunds to negotiate. His name is Frank Williams, a n.an with an Eastern reputation. On Thursday Loughridge gave to Wil- liams the two stolenbonds now in the pos- session of the police. Williams went to A. T. Johns, thestockbroker, that day and attempted to negotiate the bonds, but did not succeed. illiams went to Dr. Lee on Friday and got him to try his hand at negotiating the bonds at the Market- street Bank, but he failed. Lee returned the bonds to Williams and Williams gave them back again to Lee, who went on Satarday again with them to the Market- street Bank as arranged between the bank officials and Captain Lees. Williams was waiting in the office of Mr. Johns, the stockbroker, on Market street, for Lees’ return. Captain Lees sent word to Mr. Jonns’ son to come to police headquarters, and Detectives Whitaker, Sergeant Colbf and a pol:teman were sent to arrest Williams. But they were too late. Williams, evidently suspecting that something was wrong, made an excuse to go to tne toilet-room, and when the ufficers arrived he had twenty minutes’ start. Captain Lees ascertained that Williams had gone to Red Bluff and thence to Sac- ramento. The captain had reason to be- lieve that Williams would come here to take the Southern train for New Orleans, and he detailed Detectives Gibson and l\;«_h-en to watch every incoming train for im. Williams resched the Oakland mole by the 4:30 P. M. train yesterday from Stock- ton and was promptly ar.2sted by Gibson and Wren and taken across the bay to po- lice headquarters. Williams is a “crook’ of "long standing. He has been, off and on, for the past two or three years. He was a comrade of the notorious pick&ycket. Larry King. 'About two years ago Williams was stabbed in the Del Monte saloon, and lay in the Receiv- ing Hospital for some time before he fully recoverea. He steadfastly refused to say who cut him, but it was supposed to have been another criminal, who had a grudge against him. : Williams was arrested in Portland in De- cember, 1893, for bunko business and gave the name of P. Donahue. “Williams was the man,” said Captain Lees last night, “who, gave the bonds to Dr. Lee. Lec says he did not know Wu- liams, who was introduced to him as Mr. Jones. From the description I got of Jones trom two or three people I concluded that he was Williams, who is from Denver and must have known Loughridge there.” The captain feelssatisfied of the identity of ““Red” O’Brien, one of the other men lmgllmtad in the Savannah bauk robbery. When here he was known as James Kane, .4 men under arrest (Lougbrigge and Wil “Red” Kane. On February 19, 1889, bhe was arrested with Harry Hunter for e . de Windt will | picking pockets. He is also a Denver man. “1 have now,” said the captain, ‘‘two due on several large contracts, and asa consequence was short in ready cash to pay off its large force of men. Hearing of the threats of the bank the employes de- cided to attach to protect themselves, and several small claime were filed against the plant, which is valued at $75,000. Seeing prospects of gemng out of their difficnlties by closing down and devoting all their energies to arranging their affairs this course was adopted. Since the pottery was closed the mem- bers of the firm have been in consultation with several men of means and influence who have been so impressed by the show- ing made that they have about decided to back the concern to carry it through its temporary troubles and enable it to fill its contracts. The funds coming in from these contracts will place the firm on a sound financial basis. *‘As a matter of fact,” said Louis Steiger, the resident member of the firm, yester- day, ‘‘some of our heaviest creditors have expressed contidence in our ability to dpull out all right and have refused to crowd us. It was the crowding of the bank that urged our workmen on 0 at- tach, though I believe that only $260 in claims have been actually filed. We will soon have sufficient back- ing to start the pottery and carry out $300,000 to §400,000 im contracts tnat are now on hand, and this money will enable us to pay off our most pressing debts and get into calm waters again. “In regard to the sewer pipe that was condemned, I can say that it did not come from the South 8an Francisco gouery, but was old stock from San Jose. It was good pipe when it left San Jose, but was cracked in transportation. The product of the present plant is as good as is- turned out anywhere in California. We had trouble with refractory clays when we first opened the new plant, but this was soon over- come, and any contractor will testify that for months past we have been turning out first-class pipe.” ° - HARD ON THE BOYS. Two Arrested for Violating the 8 O’clock Ordinance. R. Schappiro, a newsboy, 13 years of age, living at 1043 Folsom street, and Joseph Denio, 15 years of age, were arrested about 9 o’clock last night at Market and Powell streets by Policemen M. F. Joy and J. Maloney. They were charged at the City Prison with violating the 8 o’clock ordi- nance. Schappiro had a few evening papers to sell, which he carried with bim to the rison. Denio is employed in_Jackson’s iron works on First street. He and an- other boy got a transfer from a Powell- street car to a Market-street car on their way home, and seeing a crowd on the cornér they went over to see what was the mnt{.er. Just then the policemen grabbed Denio. ——————— North Beach Fight. Henry Duenwald, a carpenter living on Beach street, .and William Evans, a laborer, living at 402 Bay street, were taken to the Receiving Hospital yester- day. Duenwald had a fractured skull and Evans a wound on “his scaip. Evans said that, while in a saloon on Beach street, Duenwald and two others attempted to rob him. Duenwald said that, while sitting in his cabin, Sidney Brannar, a Mission “tough,”’ and two others assaulted ::1 one cf them sulkini’nim over: the . with & hatchet. th have . been .charged with gssault 10 murder. BAND MUSICIANS AT WAR Union Men. Object to the Pre- sidio Band Playing at _ Sutro Baths. ¢ THE MAYOR ' NON-COMMITTAL. A Protest May Be Sent Through Con. gressman Maguire to.the Secre- tary of War. Washington is a long way off, but the members of. the Musicians’ Mutual Pra- tective Union, in common with other American citizens, seem to look to the Na- tion’s capital for the aid which they con- sider their just due. . It appears that his Honor the Mayor has engaged the Presidio baud to play at his baths. This does not suit the Musicians’ Union. The union men have set a rate, and any one of them who plays fora fee below that figure does so at the peril of in- curring the union’s displeasure. It is alleged that the Presidio band, receiving already a salary from the Government, and being in no actual need of extra gains, has contarcted with the Mayor to play in the Sutro Baths at less than the estab- lished union fees. Hence the trouble. A private meeting of the executive com- mittee of the Musicians’ Union was held yesterday afternoon at the union’s head- quarters, President Kent occupying the chair. Several of the members of the committee were loud in their denuncia- tion of the Mayor, and would have recom- mended violent measures. . However, it was reporfed that the Mayor had already made arrangements for the engagement of union musicians. No one present was able to cite any reliable authority in support of the rumors, but as it had been heard by more than one of the members of the executive committee it was decided to defer any action until after further devel- opments. The matter will, however, be presented for consi“eration at Friday’s meeting of the Labor Council. The members of iie union are deter- mined to find out what the Mayor intends to do in the matter. His Honor is very reticent and did not seem desirous of stating his position when questioned on the matter yesterday. n case the Presidio band is retained in the Mayor’s employ the union intends ad- dressing the Secretary of War, through Congressman Maguire, asking the Secre- tary to intervene and preveat the engage- ment of the Presidio band in competition with the union musicians, The musicians are resolved to fight the issue to the end in the event that the Mayor refuses to change the present regime. - The outcome of the affair is looked for with some inter- est by all the labor unions. Sued the Western Union. Henry Rohner Jr. has sued the Western Union Telegraph Company for $15,000 dam- ages and the case is being %eard in the United States District Court. On March 29, 1895, while the complainant was driving a band of steers from Fortuna to Ferndale, in Humboldt County, he collided with a guy wire of the company in question and sustained seriousin- juries. Thus the suit for dama; —————— Suicide of a Fireman. Last Saturday night a sick fireman from the Zealandia, on his way to this port on board the steamship San Blas, was lost overboard at sea. During the night he was missed from his bunk and no one knows how or where he went into the sea. It is belleved that he committed suicide as he was 111 and despondent. He was known as Nicholas aboard the San Blas and ‘was a native of Russ: NEW TO-DAY. 4 O N I Y “Red Letter Days” Saturday (the 28th) ends it—4 days more.
