4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1896. —__——___———————————‘—————-——.—_————'—_# SINTA BARBARA STEALS EXPOSED. Ex-Manager of a Milling Company Arrested for Embezzlement. i ROBBED HIS EMPLOYERS Three Charges Preferred Against R. M. Watson as the Result of an Investigation. LOST MONEY IN SPECULATION. Became Deéeply Involved by Trying to Recoup at the Expense of | Others. | | SANTA BARBARA, CAL., March 25.— Since the resignation of the local manager of the Southern Pacific Milling Company it has been known that an investiga- tion of the company’s books was being made. To-day R. M. Watson, the late manager, was arrested at the instance of the company on three charges of felony embezzlement, aggregating about $1200. Watson was for seven years connected | with the South Mill and Warehouse Com- | pany in this city, and when the business | and warehouse of that corporation were bought by the Southern Pacific .\flllin;:i Company in January, 1894, he was retained | as the local manager in place of F. H. | Wheelan, who took the position of active manager in San Francisco. The new cor- poration did not take the accounts of the old company, but offered to allow its own agents to collect accounts for the | retiring company, thus leaving the latter’s books open. Watson was a trusted em- | | ploye and had full control in the local management of the Southern Pacific Mill- ing Company’s affairs: It seems that prior to the time he engaged to serve the latter company, and while in the employ of its predecessor, he engaged 1n private specu- lations, buying and shipping walnuts on his own account. He sustained heavy | losses in these speculations, and, according to his own statement, thought to recoup by using and appropriating funds belong- ing to the Southern Pacific Milling Com- pany, covering these thefts by making fraudulent entries in the books, in the | shape of charges to different people. Wat- son is believed to have appropriated sev- eral thousand dollars. The exact amount has not yet been determined, as it has} been found necessary to personally inter- view every man whose name is on the books for a considerable amount 'to ascer- tain whether the entry is genuine. { The first notification received by the | company of the difficulty was in the shape | of a letter from Watson tendering his | resignation, and stating that he had | wrongfully used its funds, amounting to | $2600, to cover speculations made prior to | the time he entered its employ. This | frank confession, and the young man’s de- | sire to make restitution so far as itlayin his power, together with the esteem in | | | | i | l | man leading an animal that | result was'a horrified scream and a panic- engaged for the occasion, many prominent vocalists and others who would ordinarily have secured large rates of compensation having on this oceasion volunteered their services free. The programme will be an- nounced later. s The restaurant at 113 Powell street will, it is thought, render the Newsboys' Home self-supporting. E: The management desires not only to afford the homeless newsboy a place wherein to sleep, but to give him a home whera his present weliare- and ultimate prospects will be considered. All the pro- ceeds of the restaurant are guaranteed by the managers as destined for the home, and it is desired to make it widely under- stood that the restaurant is open to the public. A cheap and refined menu is presented. All persons patronizing this establishment are assured by those in charge that they will receive good value for their money together with the satisfaction of knowing that their coin will help to make ‘‘men” of the bright little newsboys, who might otherwise driftinto a wasted life. A CENTRAL AMERICAN PIG. Attracts Crowds, but Causes a Panic Among the Fair Sex. The strange spectacle of a little brown seemed and half porcu to be half pig pine along Kearny street yesterday afternoon attracted crowds on every corner. It seemed to annoy the little man and he savagely jerked the docile brute through the crowd, muttering impreca- tions in a foreign tonegue upon the curi- osity of mankind in general,-and in par- ticular upon those in the immediate vi- cinity. It “was ascertained from a small boy who accompanied the pair that the ani- ma! is a wild pig, and was recently brought up from Guatemala by the person leading it, named Martini. Its age is about eight or nine months, and its size is about that of a common pig of the same age. The bristles are very long and rather fine and converge in a tuft to form the tail. Down the middle of the back extends a stripe of whits about two inches in breadth, and a stripe of tawny hue runs over the shoulders and down each slender foreleg. The snout projects some three inches over the under jaw and is rough at the tip and coated with short, stiff, black hair. Every now and then the inquisitive crea- ture would dodge to one side or the other and sniff at the dainty skirts of some fashionabiy dressed lady. The inevitable stricken rout. The little brown man and his queer charge finally turned up Pine street, fol- lowed by a crowd of urchins, and was soon lost to view. A BARKENTINE BENAMED The Sharpshooter Will in Future . Be Known as the Henry Naupie. Called After the King of Caroline Islands, Who Is a Good Trader. The old British bark Sharpshooter is to ! have a new name. When she is refitted | and placed under the Awmerican flag she will be known as the barkentine Hem-yi Naupie, in honor of the second chief or | Governor of the Caroline group. | For years the trade of these islands has i gone to Japan and England, but latterly | some San Francisco merchants have gained a footing on the group, and now the bulk of the commerce will come here. | Captain Luttrell of. the Viking is now on his way from the South Seas, and on his arrival he will assume.command of the new vessel. In aletter to the J. F. Cun- ningham Company he says that the King or Governor is very favorable to Amer- King Henry Naupie, Whose Name the Old British Bark Sharpshooter Will Bear in the [Sketched by a “Call’ artist.] Future. which he was personally held, disposed his employers to deal leniently with him; but an inspection of the books convinced them that all of the misappropriated funds were not used to cover these old specula- tions, but, on the contrary, to engage in new and disastrous ones. It is because of this discovery, as well as of the larger amount involved, that he is being prose- cated. ‘Watson is a young man about 30 years of age, married and the father of three children. He has borne an excelient repu- tation, having no bad habits and being recognized as a hard-working and ener- getic business man. tion keenly. TO ACQUIRE THE YUKON. Text of a Resolution Introduced in the | Legislature of British Coumbia. VICTORIA, B. C., March 25.—In the Provincial Legislature to-day Japtain John Irving, M.P.P, for the Cassiar district, B. C., and manager of the Canadian Pacific Navigation Company, whose headquarters are in Victoria, gave notice of the follow- ing resolution: ‘WHEREAS, The position of the Yukon coun- try lying to the north of the 60th parailel of latitude and to the west of the 120th degree of longitude from Greenwich makes that country a natural dependency of British Coiumbia: and whereas, it is desirable in the interests of the Dominion thar, in consequence of a large influx of population, a settled form oi govern- ment should be immediately extended over the above described area; therefore, be it Resolved, That respectful addreis be pre- sented to his Honor, tne Lieutenant-Governor, requesting that the Dominion Government b at once apprised of the necessity of piscing the Yukon country under the control of the prov- inge, so that life ‘and property may be pro- tected and revenue collected by the least ex- pensive mean: NEWSBOYS RESTAURANT.

He feels his situa- | |icans and that he wants American goods | to reach the Carolines direct instead of via | Yokohama and London. The King has_a store at Kiti harbor, and isone of the principal traders in the | group. Of course, the Spaniards control | everything, but nevertheless Henry Nau- | pie does well, and is growing rich. He is | now one of the most influential men in the Spanish possessions in the South Seas, and his word is his bond. The vessel that has been called after him | has had a remarkable history. At one time she was a clipper plying between | Australia and Southampton. Later sh descended into the coilier stage, but, | proving too small for that business, she | | became a tramp. Wherever a charter could be found there her captain went, | and it was on one of these foraging expe- | | ditions that she happened to head for | 8an Francisco. After taking a load of nitrate aboard | | the bark was headed for San Francisco. | In the Gulf of California she was dis- | | masted, and the news of the disaster was taken ashore in a bottle set adrift by | Captain Watts. A Mexican tender picked them up and towed the dismasted vessel | into port. The tug Fearless was sent from | here'and towed the Sharpshooter to San i Francisco. Lawsuits followed, and the | vessel was finally sold to pay expenses. | She has been dismantled and is now in | the course of reconstruction. A number |of new plates have been put in and new | decks and hew masts ave ready for plac- | ing in position. When the repairs have | been completed the old bark Sharpshooter | will have disappeared and the barkentine | Henry Naupie will appear in the Ameri- | can register. | - Mistrusted Each Other. 2 One of the detectives who have been on duty in Statuary Hall, watching the Mar- queite statue, had a novel experience the other day. A lady brought a policeman into the hall and pointed out the detective as a suspicious character. She said she had been observing him for some time and felt convinced that he harbored soms sinister design against the statue. She was painfully surprised to learn that the detective had been watching her with sim- ilar misgivings as to her mission in the hall.—Washington Post. ————— - Most of the inhabitants of Haugesund, Norway, have never tasted intoxicants.

SANTA BARBARA, Car., March 25.— For some time the question of furnishing music for the forthcoming flower festival has been under discussion. Hitherto it has been the custom to procure the best available talent from abroad. This year Sousa’s band was first under considera- tion, but the directors have now decided to engage a local violinist and musical di- rector of great talent and of more than local celebrity—Herr Hans Schuy. Herr Schuy has organized a band of nineteen pieces, and is promised the hearty co-oper- ation of the Philharmonic Association, of which he has been the organizer and di- rector, and which comprises many aristo- cratic and cultured members.

The Convention Will Not Be Held, but She Will Tour the State. Miss SHSH;I B. Anthony Instrumental in the Withdrawal of the National Temperance Convention. The officers of the State Woman's Christian Temperance Union received the news of the withdrawal of the promise of a National convention very quietly. The news had been in a way expected. The San Francisco County Board was 1n session from 9:30 A. M. to 1:30 p. M. It dealt chieflg with details in reference to the work, but incidentalty adopted the following resolution : ‘WHEREAS, We have just received the dispatch that the National convention is not coming to our City, and whereas the cause of temperance and woman suffrage need our labor more in W;:o oedy hllht“;?‘:oubh our locking tinto D L euce comett e elp. The decision of the National officers of the Women's Christian Temperance Union was the result of diplomatic oyertures to that end made by women suffragists of local and National note for a ‘rdod ex- undln%onr the past two months. Miss Susan B. Anthony opened the nego- tiations by writing Mrs. B. Sturtevant Peet, 5remd-nz of the California Women’s hristian Temperance Union, stating that if a National temperance convention were held here it would greatly retard the prog- ress of the suffrage cause by antagonizing the large liquor interests of the State. The writer pointed out that the wise course would gg to make along pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together, for female suffrage. After tnat “‘we shall see what we shn\f see.” Mrs. Peet didn’t see it that way and re- fhed to that effect. Meanwhile Miss An- hony corresponded with prominent suf- fragists in this City, emphasizing her views and advising that conferences be held between representatives of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union and the Woman’s Suffrage Asséciation, with a view to a compromise at least. Accordingly Mrs. Peet met officers of the State Campaign Association at the home of Mrs. A. A. Sargent. The views of Miss Anthony were echoed by the suf- frage element and Mrs. Peet argued that there was need of the convention and that the cause of suffrage would be advanced rather than hindered by it. No decision was reached and another conference was called, at which several other officers of the union . were present. At this time the suffragists asked, as. a compromise measure, that the temperance convention bs vostponed till “after the eiection. The members of the union agreed to this and took steps to acquaint the National officers with the situation, signifying their will- ingness to mak2 the concession. They held in these documents, which were signed by all the State officers, that they had agreed todisagree with their suffragist sisters however in all other details respect- ing the convention, and asked that it be held as promised. The suffragists sent official documents, representing their side, to the same tribunal and asking that the convention be not held in the State at any time this year. The result of the deliberations of the National W. C. T. U. officers in regard to this difference of opinion was shown by dispatches received at W. C. T. U. head- quarters last evening. Miss Frances Willard, the Susan B. Anthony of the suffragists, notified Mrs. Peetin a personal telegram that it was deemed inexpedient to hold the conven- tion in California this year, but that she, and probably Lady Henry Somerset, would make a lecture tour ‘through the State this fall. There is no denial at W.C. T. U. head- quarters that the news is_a blow that will be felt through white-ribbon circles, in that it withdraws much of the stimulus to local work. It is an _added difficulty to overcome, but they will press forward in their work in all departments not except- ing woman suffrage. MIDWEEK THEATER NOTES Yachtsmen Applaud Ferris Hart- man’s Jokes at the Tivoli. Ventriloquism at the Orpheum—On. dricek - Materna Concert To-Night. The San Francisco Yacht Club’s benefit | at the Tivoli Overa-house last night was | a great success, in spite of the threatening | weather. The theater was filled withi yachtmen and their friends, for not only | had the members of the San Francisco | Club attended in force, but delegations | from the California Yacht Club, the | Pacific, the Corinthian and the Encina! | yacht clubs also sweiled the throng. . The house was gaily decorated with | bunting, consisting of the signal codes and the flags of the various yachts. Com- mander Gutte with'a party of ladies” was in one of the lower procinium boxes and in the box ahove were Commander Bruce and a party of other members of the Cali- | fornia Yacht Club. The other boxes were occupied by John Lee and J. V. Coleman with their respective parties. Ferris Hartman interposed many jokes into “Said Pasha,” touching on local yachting matters, and they were all re- ceived with laughter and applause. Be- tweeri the acts stereopticon views were shown of marine scenes of Jthe different yachts in and around the bay. The audience was very enthusiastic and en- tered thoroughly into the spirit of the per- formance. “A Milk White Flag” closes its prosper- ous engagement at the Baldwin Theater next Sunday night. On Monday James O’Neill will open a seasen of two weeks, during which he will: give such produc- tions as “Monte Cristo,” “Virginius,” “The Courier of Lyons” and ‘‘Hamlet.” Edwin Milton Rogyle'’s “Captain Impu- dence” will run for the rest of the week at the California Theater. 'On Monday the comedy drama “Friends,”” which suc- ceeded 80 well here last season, will be produced by the Milton Royle company. “Sinbad”’ continues to fill the Columbia Theater. The bright up-to-date hits and the catchy new songs are all adding con- siderably to the spectacular attractions of the extravaganza, and the new people in the cast have become almost as popular as their predecessors, New departures from the beaten track of Irish comedy seem to be the fashion, and Carroll Johnson's ‘“‘Irish Statesman” is one of the most successful efforts in that line which has heen seen here. The play contains many stirring incidents, and is tinged with a gooa deal of originality. Johnson plays his part of the hero ina very heroic fashion, and the rest of the cast is quite satisfactory. The Continuous Show is still proving a drawing card for Grover’s Alcazar. There are some %ood specialties among the turns and the farce “Confusion’ is one of the most amusing features of the perform- ance. Segournier, the accomplished French ventrilequist, is the great attraction at the Orpbeum this week. Not that other attractions are lacking, however. Norma Wills and Montie Collins arouse plenty’ of merriment, and Frank La Mondue, the eccentric clown, isa host in himself. The first of the farewell concerts to be given by the Ondricek-Materna combina- tion wiil take place at the Anditorium to- night. Herr Anton Schott, the Wagnerian tenor, will appear here for the first time. There will be a full orchestra, led by John Marquardt, and Isadore Luckstone will act as musical director. Following is the pro- gramme for to-night: verture, “Mignon” (Thomas); orchestra, violin concert (Mendelssohn), aliegro appas: slonato, andante, allegro moito, Franz Ond- ricek and orchestra; leider, (a) “Erlkenig"” (Schubert), (b) ““Die Beiden Grenadiere’” g;l;:hn» mann) Anton Schott; aria, *“Rienzi,” re- quest (Wagner), Amalia Materna; piano solos, (e) “Waldesranschen” (b) “Campanella” (Liszt), Arihur Fickenscher; airs, Lohengren’s “Erze- lung und Abshied’’ (Wagner), Anton-Schott; violin solo, “Hungarian Airs,’ by request, (Ernst), Franz Ondricek; selections, firstact “Walkuere” (Wagner), (;) introduction, ‘{b) “Love song,” (¢c) duet; Siglinde, Amalia Ma- terna; Sigmund, Anton Schott; Isidore Luck- stone, musical director.

HOW RAINEY 13 GETTING THERE He Is Rapidly Strength ening His Grip on the Junta. BUSY DISTRICT BEES. The Stable Man Is Trading Dag- gett’s Mint Patronage. for Power. WHY BRAUNHART WORRIES. Rainey’s Rapid Rise to Power Pre- sages Stormy Times for the Junta Faction. 8am Rainpey is hustling like everything to tighten his grip on the Junta organiza- tion, and by that token stormy times are in store for the local anti-Buckley faction. Rainey’s mastery of the faction, which the State Central Committee recognized as the regular local organization, is conceded by many of the anti-Raineyites themselves, and is patent to all who know Sam Rainey by his works and who know what is going on in the local Democracy. Of course, ‘“‘Rainey,” when spoken of in this boss sense, includes Daggett some- | what as the greater includes the less. The shrewd stableman is handling Daggett’s local political forces, and Rainey directly controls more votes in the general com- mittee than does the Superintendent of the Mint, whose “pernicious activity” and “‘offensive partisanship” have done much to pile up more Democratic enemies, but Daggett stands by his friend Rainey, Rainey standsby his ‘friend Daggett, and, Daggett's power added to Rainey’s 1s just about the strength that is read{ to rule. But theanti-Rainey faction of tiie Junta faction happens to control the machinery through having the officers and commit- tees. That is a little bit like the minorit, having the inspector dt a primary,in whic case the minority always wins. Chairman Sullivan and Gavin McNab have been run- ning things with the occasional assistance of a few others like Sam Braun- hari, M. C. Hassett and Frank Hughes, and Chairman Sullivan is able to give decisions, appoint commit- tees, call or not call meefings, and so on, in a way which gives Rainey decidedly the worst of it. Rainey sniffs with su- preme contempt at these *‘kindergartners” who are trying to do politics, and calls them names unfit for publication. So Rainey needs a good strong majority | if he is_going to get a Daggett delegation | sent to Sacramento, and if he is later to be able to control things locally to his own ends by forcing a compromise with Buck- ley or effecting other moves or combina- tions. Sullivan, backed by what is partly in truth and " pardy in satise called the ‘‘decent” element, is matching himself lgninst Rainey, ex- pecting te checkmate him and bese:]e by a slender majority or by tricks and arbi- trary manipulation of affairs to carry the faction through to victory in behalf of *‘political purity’’ and a few offices for the decent element. Rainey will see about thisin that pecu- liar way of his. This is why he is hust- ling just now. He is reaching out for votes in the general committee. One way of getting them is by offering jobs in the Fire Department. Another way is to buy them with places in the Mint. Dag- gett has placed the United States branch mint largely at the disposal of Rainey to do local politics with. Sam has long had a number of men in the Mint and recently he has put some more there. Six weeks or two months ago he put in Eugene McFadden of the ’%nirty-rizhth District, “Billy” Williams of the Thirty- seventh, and Tom Healey of the Thirtieth. These are, of course, members of the general committee, able to deliver to Rainey other votes in their districts. In the Thirty-second District the twenty- five delegates to the general committee are controlled mainly by ‘“I'im” Donovan and Frank Lester. Donovan is credited with having twelve of the twenty-five who are friends who will stand by bim. It was known vesterday to several that Rainey has offered Donovan a place in the Mint to come over to the Rainey side with his friends. Samuel Braunhart, the Port Warden, was given boss-ship of the Twenty-ninth when the Junta appointed its first general | committee last fall, and he was allowed to | name the twenty-five delegates to the present general committee. He named them. Opposed to Braunhart in that dis- trict is the large Rainey-Daggett element in the Junta which was shut out, and, of course, the Buckley element. Braunhart is having an awful time tryingto hang on to the Twenty-ninth and keep it in line for decency. Rainey is scheming to get a lot of Braun- hart's men over. Among the twenty-five is Jack Mannix of the ola boss firm of Mannix and Brady that Chris Buckiey overthrew when he first came into power. Mannix is anti-Buckley, of course, but he is not expected to be anti- Rainey. Another Kaineyite in that dele- gation is Louis Seelig, brother to Nat Seelig, who has a_job in the Mint. W. T. Boyce, ex-Assemblyman, and now in the customs service, is accredited to Rainey by political gossipers, as are prob- ably fM. uinn and J. X. Colbert. Wires are being pulled on others through friends, and so on, all of which is reason enough that Sam Braunhart should be badly “‘wor- rited”” and_that many of the boys should be wondering how the Twenty-ninth will stand when Rainey digs a_while in it. Braunhart's men are nearly all new in poli- tics. Itisthe saying that he ‘‘discovered’’ them. He is playing in behalf of purity against all the Democratic politics of the good old Tweniv-ninth. This is merely a sample of how Rainey politics are working in eighteen districts.” The lheutenants of Rainey and Daggett are busy as bees. Eddie Graney, who holds his entire district | sohd for Sam, is bustling about making friends and promises and dropping good words for Rainey. It is reported that he has hinted to the richt kind of people that Rainey is the man fo make the boss at this juncture. J. A, Fenton of the Mint is rustling arouna ‘“feeling’’ and talking and all the politicians of the Mint and Fiie Department are at work. d Lanigan, with his sixty or so votes in the general committee, is still lying low and has made no alliance with either the Rainey or anti-Rainey factions. He is doing” good politics and waiting for the right time and place to drop. With Lani- gan in Rainey’s ‘camp ths “‘decent’ ele- ment would bardly make a quorum, and just now Rainey’s control is reckoned without Lanigan. ) Senator Mahoney and Martin Kelly will of course throw to Rainey any help in the line_of either ‘“pull” or ‘push’ that is | needed and can be given. It has been since the recent meeting of the State Central Committee that Rainey has laid hold so actively and risen so rap- idly and prominently as a re-enthroned boss. The active portion of thelocal Dem- ocratic party is now arrayed with Rainey and Buckley, and the quiescent portion is just looking on and holding noses. It is quite an interesting spectacle to see | the old partners, Sam Rainey and Chris | Buckley, come back to town, and, rising in might, battle for good government. But.don’t be a fool; ‘‘they’ll be like that,'” so the fellows say, holding up two fingers close together. Just wait until the game is played out. HOW THE CHILD THINKS. Professor Barnes Says Its Mind De- velops According to Rule. The mind of the child, beginning with infancy, develops according to definite laws and in doing so passes regularly through successive stages, regardless of ef- forts that may be made to have some of them skipped over. That was the central thought of Profes sor Earl Barnes’ lecture last night in the hall of the Academy of Sciences. ‘ His deductions were founded upon data collected during the last few years by him- self and 'bis coworkers in the educational department at Stanford University from thousands of school children in California and were substantiated by similar conclu- sions reached by special investigators in the East and in Europe. A little girt had been given some paint. When her mother was downtown she painted the parior chairs, and on her mother’s return asked her to come in to see how beautiful she had made them. This story was submitted to over 20,000 California cbildren hetween the ages of 6 and 16 for each to write what the mother should have done with the little girl. It was found that the youngest children sd- vocated corporal punishment, in many cases of much severity and cruelty, while the oldest children were the most lenient, the proportion favoring leniency or mild remonstrance increasing regularly as the maximum age was reached. ————————— A Diver’s Experience. The diver, as the reader may imagine, gets many startling shocks when below. A fifteen-foot shark, magnified by the water and coming direct for one, is sufficient to make the stoutest heart quake in spite of tbe assertion that sharks have never been known to attack a man in dress. Neither is the sight of a large turtle comforting when one does not know exactly what it is; and the coiling of a sea snake around one's legs, although it has only one’s hands to bite at,is, to say the least, un- pleasant. ———— Lord Sheffield has at his seat at Sheffield Park two mummies, said to be 4000 years old, purchased by him while on a tour in Egypt.

N THE SAN BENITO VALLEY THERE I3 a most picturesque little place which is cel- ebrated for the excellence of its crops and the sturdy character of its native sons. One of the good tamilies of the place is thet of (h’ Ashursts, the boys being well known for their straightforwardness and manly bearing. In- deed, in that region there is no one more re- spected. Some little while ago, however, one of them (Robert) began to appreciate thatall was not well with him. He did not pay muca attention to the growing weakness that he felt, thinking that it was only & passing ailment. But here was where he made a serious blunder. Ashis disease progressed he began to realiz that he was indeed ill. He tried all that he could do to_shake off the attack, uslug all the remedies that ne knew of for that purpose but still it kept getting more and more firml, implanted in his system. Almoston the verge of giving up, he wrote to the Hudson Medical Institute—that great institution for the cure of the sick—and he at once got a letter telling him that he need not despair. And now, after having been under the skill of the specialists there for & couple of weeks—just fancy it, only a fortnight—he has been done so much good that he frankly says that he would not be where he was just those few days ago for five hundred dollars. Here is a letter that he has seen fit to write to the management of the great institute: PANOCHE, Cal., August 13, 1895. Hudson Medical Institute, San Francisco, Cal.—Gentlemen: I reply in pursuance to your requests. I have been taking your medicines for about two weeksand am greatly pleased with the results. Am no longer trounled with headache, backache or deep pains. My eyes sight is very much better, blood does not rusix to my head as it used to, and as a consequence. my intellect is brighter and brain clearer. Have gained six pounds since commencing treatment. My bowels do not yet move as reg= ularly as they should, but I take a tablet ever: night, and that may be all right in time. realize that it takes time to effect a cure. Hon~ estly, gentleaen, I would not take $500 to re< lapse into the state I was in before I applied to you. I remain yours resflectm!!y, OBERT ASHURST JB. Now, that is the letter of a highly respected and intelligent young man, and it shows most conclusively how remarkably efficient and rapid in its work the treatment of the speciale ists of the *“‘greatest of all curative establish- tments on this continent” is. But Mr. Ashurst is by no means alone in his high opinion of what Is being regularly done for suffering hu- there. m)‘d‘:’?t . W. Fowler of Kamela, Or., writes: “I am feeling so good now that if I felt any better 1 could jump out of my skin."” 8. J. Bailey of Weaverville, Cal.: “Afier two months’ treatment with you I feel fully re- stored to health.” 1 George H. Rice of Fort Canby, Wash., says: «The treatment of the Hudson Medical Insti- tute is all that could be expected or desired by any one.” dundreds of letters of this sort come to the management, cheering them on to further ef- fort to make the statement more than ever true that “AS LONG AS THERE IS LIFE THERE IS HOPE IF THE SPECIALISTS OF THE GRAND OLD HUDSON MEDICAL INSTI.
