The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, March 26, 1896, Page 5

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1896. HAS HANDLED FOUR MILLIONS, This Amount of Money Has Been | Turned Over by One of the Indorsers of Joy's Vege- table Sarsaparilla. ANOTHER DAY OX MARKET STREET There Seems to Be No Break in the Steady Line - of Ap- proval. To tell the truth I was more than a little bit surprised by the unanimity of opinion which was expressed by the half dozen or so merchants whose interviews were pub- lished yesterday, giving their opinions as to the merits of Joy’s Vegetable Sarsa- parilla. The man whomakes his living by writing has experience in variety, and it is not unusual for him to find one day a week at least moderately easy work, but to find two days in succession of this sort of thing is decidedly rare. But I have managed to | d two days at least that were spent on 2 * street. I continued my queries to the merchants of the City yesterday by crossing over to the other side of Market street, and there the enthusiasm was quite as greatas I had found on the north side. I chattedtoa half dozen people whose names I am un- able to incorporate in this article for lack of space, and of those there was no single one who had not a kind word to say for the great home remedy, Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla. Some, of course, were humorous, feeling possibly that their per- | sonal appearance scarcely warranted the | <t question, “Have you ever used J Vegetable Sarsaparilla?’ Others were serious, and not only admitted having | done so, but in more than one instance | oy were frank enough to say that it had | used from necessity and that the re- | be: sults from its use were altogether good. 1t is a little bit difficult toginduce a man who has been known to have suffered from a serious blood disorder and who is gradu- ally arely recovering his health to give b e for publication, even about the merits of the remedy which has saved him from not only a disfigured counte- nance but possibly much worse ills. He feels natural ence to the world know- ing that his blood has ever been impure, | and really that is not surprisi None of | us are anxious to parade our1lls before the world. And of those who were interviewed one of them is a man who does as large a busi- ness in his particular line asany onein | the City. He isa man who has been in business continuously here for overg quar- ter of a century, and one who handled | in bis business over four millions of dol- | Jars, and who may fairly be quoted as the ne of the others who were good enough | to give their opinions for publicati Here are their sentiments expressed in | their own language as nearly as may be possible, and it needs no ‘‘higher educa- tion” to understand just exactly how they feel toward Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla. ME. FITZMAURICE HAS HEARD. I dropped_first of all into the gentle- . i g-goods store of W. J. Market street. Mr. Fitz- was, as he ever is, in a good | ,-and to my query asto what he | s_to the merits of Joy’s Vegetable lla he replied: “I don’t use sar- caparilla myself, for which, I suppose, I have to give thanks. I know, as well as I presume the rest of the world knows, that zood sarsaparilla is an excellent bleod- purifier, and as I have never had occasion 1o use it myself it goes without saying that | my blood has maintained a normal condi- tion; but I do know something of the merits of Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla. An intimate friend of mine, who was suf- fering from dyspepeia, told me that he had used two. or three varieties or makes of sarsaparilla, and that he found Joy's with- out doubt to be the best of all. I'am sure that my memory does not fail me when I say that he was emphatic in his assertion, apd were he here at this momentIam perfectly certain that be would give you a festimonial which would please you in every respect. I hope the time will never come when I may find my blood or my di- gestion out-of order, but if 1t does I want to say most distinctly that Tshall certainly use Joy’s Sarsaparilla, because I am satis- fied from the statement of my friend that it is an excellent stomach regulator.” Mr. Fitzmauric a native of New York State and has be sident of California for about fifteen years. He has been well known as a furnishing-goods man for the past three years in this City, and his store, while not the largest in the City by any means, invariably contains the latest styles in everything that enables a man to dress correctly. Moreover, it is not unfair to state that Mr. Fitzmaurice believes in making a_moderate profit on everything that he sells—ard only a moderate profit. He is as courteous in his treatment of the man who spends a dollar in his store as of the man who spends fifty. In a word, he is a gentleman. A PORTLY JANITOR OF THE NEW PARROTT BUILDING. One can scarcely pass the new Parrott building without looking into it, for it will assuredly be one of the great sights of the City when finished. There is a sign on the temporary door which clearly indi- cates that **people having no business mit dis bouse will please git oud.” but think- ing that it might be possible that I might have some business with some one in that small domicile, I ventured to pull open the door, and not in a very gentle way, either. I was confronted by J. P. Ma- carthy, the sturdy janitor who guards the entrance. “What is your business, sir?” queried Mr. Macarthy. “Well, I was just looking in,” I replied. “Yes; I am aware of that,” retorted the gentleman with the Irish name. “Well,” I went on, “I want to interview some prominent people as to the merits of the great home remedy, Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilia.” “Do you wish to interview me?” said Mr. Maearthy, and continued, **for if not, I am afraid that I cannot allow you to go far- ther.” it was somewhat pleasing to find the joily-looking janitor so faithful to the duties which he is paid to perform, and so 1 thought I would interview him on the merits.of Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla, He talked reasonably and with that modera- tion which insures respect. ~Said Mr. Maecarthy: *l shall always speak favora- bly of Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla. I do not nowuse it myself, but I bave heard it indorsed time and time again as having done mueh good, and should the time ever come when I need a sarsaparilla, thereis no questian at ail in my mind but that I should usé Joy’s. And farther than that,” he raid, “although I do not remember so that [ could give you with certainty the 1 son Bros., 955 Market street. A gentle- man clean of eye and of intelligent coun- tenance met me and asked me if he could “be of service to me.” I said,‘Yes; I have been detailed to inquire from a few of the leading merchants of the City what THE QUICK AND THE DEAD The Judges Declare Bets Off on a Race Taken by Sir Richard. they think of Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla. A VERY POPULAR DECISION. May I ask what your name is?"’ “A\d(y name is Hans Gullixson,” he re- plied. “You are a member of the firm?’I queried. “1 am, sir. “Do you know remedy ?”’ “I do, for I have used it.”” Now, will you please tell me, Mr. Gul- lixson, what your candid opinion is as to itsmerits or_demerits. If it has done you any good teil me so; if you have not found it a'satisfactory remedy also please state that fact, and just tell me in the way you would talk for publication, for I shall quote your own words.” “Well,” replied Mr. Gullixson, *‘I have used Joy’s Vegetable Sarsapanlla, prefer- nng it to all others, and I have found it ex- ceptionally good as a spring medicine, but in addition to that it has undoubtedly helped my kidneys. I don’t imagine that it is a cure-all, nor do I suppose that it is sold as such, but Tam certain (as I speak anything of this from my own experience) that it has toned | my stomach up, and done a good deal to | light kidney affection from which | help al y I suffered. It isir my opinion a most ex- cellent remedy, and I have no hesitation whatever in indorsing it in the highest | wayv.”’ Now, thatis a plain, straightfor- ward statement of the experience of one of the nicest and cleanest business men in San Francisco. The firm of Gullixson & Bros. has no “cardboard” reputation. Since its estab- lishment some eighteen years ago it has been their constant endeavor to sell ex- actly the class of goods which thei' repre- sented that they carried. The millionaire and the man of moderate means alike appreciate the tieatment which they re- ceive at the hands of this excellent con- cern. Your purse will possibly be able to afford a pure Brussels carpet. If it does. there is no better place to go for it than | Gullixson’s. That is generally admitted, but even should you feel that it would be | | extravagant to get anything dearer than | common matting you may go t0955 Market | | street with the same confidence, and you | will find that you get as good treatmentas does the man who has a pocketful of money to.spend. THE MAN WHO HAS HANDLED FOUR MILLIONS. Four millions of dollars is a larger sum of money than one can appreciate well. It would even take along time to count in one hundred dollar bills; and retail butcher, whose immense place extends from 969 to 979 Market street, has | passed through his hands during the time that he has been in business in the City. Biit large sums of money do not disturb | He is a man of eapacity or Mr. Solomon. his vast interests would scarcely be so well looked after as they are by him. He at- tends personally to all the smallest de- tails, and while his meats stand positively higher in the market (not higher n price) | than do those of any other large dealer, he has been enabled to place his business on such = basis that he can cater equally well to all classes of meat-buyers. Asked as to his opinion of Joy’s Vegetable Sarsapar- illa Mr. Solomon said: “I_always patron- ize home products, but in the instance of which you speak I should patronize Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla, whether it was a home product or not, unless there was a Californian sarsaparilla which could claim to be equally good, and it would have to substantiate its claims, too,” he | continued, ‘“for I do not believe that there | is anything of its nature that is equal to | the home remedy, as you call it. Friends of mine indorse it highly. They say it is a good blood puritier. They say it is a good spring medicine, and they tell me it is good for dyspepsia, too, and 1 quote these expressions of opinion from people | whom I can trust. Why, indeed, some of them I could trust with my checkbook. *‘Shall I commend it, and do I commend it? Why, most certainly.” And then this genial purveyor of many of the gooa things to be found in the world turned to busy himself about one of the many varied | interests that occupy his capacious mind from day to day. IN J. REID'S COZY SHOP. After leaving ‘“‘the man of millions” I “tacked ship,’ as the mariner puts it, and started toward the ferry. I was attractea by the face of a somewhat benevolent look- ing gentleman standing in the door of the tailor-shop, 907 Market street. There were some rare, pretty patterns to be seen and I lingered for a moment, then of a sudden it struck me that I had better be doing what I was paid for doing than gazine at spring styles, which, cheap as they possibly might be, could have no possible interest for me, the bank account being lacking. Why should I not interview Mr. Reid, who owned the pretty suitings which had at- tracted my attention? And one query elicited the fact that he was the kindly- faced gentleman ta whom my attention, too, had been drawn. *“Mr. Reid,” I began, "‘will you please tell me as to whether you ever used Joy’'s Vegetable Sarsaparilla?” “] have not,” he said. “Do you know anything about it, as to whether it is a good remedy or a bad one?"’ ““I have heard it spoken of a good deal but I don’t think Icould justly give youan opinion as to its merits.” Standing o) posite to him was a tall gentlemanly-look- ing man .with a light auburn mustache, exceptionally well-diessed, with a good- humored smile on his countenance, and the bearinz of a much traveled man. He interjected: “Mr. Reid, don’t you know anything of Joy’'s Vegetable Sarsaparilla? You will pardon my interrupting you when you were talking to a newspaper man, but if you know nothing of it, [am afraid that T will bave to confess that you are not auite as well informed as T sup- posed you to be.” Mr. Reid did not resent the interruption at all. He said, “I was simply telling the gentleman who was in- terviewing me the truth.” “That is all I wish vou to do,” I put in, “Well,”” continued the handsome man,"I don’t care to be quoted in this matter, but 1 am a traveling salesman. My business takes me from New York to this Coast three or four times a year and I have heard even on the cars Joy's Vegetable Sarsapa- rilla spoken of in the highest terms. What do they say about it? They say it is the best tonic, and the best cure for that ‘tired feeling’ in the world. ‘Tired feeling’isa very old expression and gentiemen of the road are not supposed to indulge i anything stale, but tell you that there is such a thing as a ‘tired feeling,’ and Iam fair enough to admit that I have heard more times than I have got fingers and toes that Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla is the best remedy for this sort of thing. They say thatit is the best sarsaparilla on earth.” Then the handsome man twirled his luxuriant mus- tache in an eminently well-satistied sort of way and remarked, *‘They say that men of the road invariably exaggerate, but I have certainly managed to tell the truth for once.” This seemed to be a very fitting finish to the interviews for the duy. It was genially expressed and evidently sincere, and while it is possible that the festive drummer, as he is commonly known, does at times ‘“pull the long bow,” he is universally names, [ have-heara many péople speak of 1t as havingdone them much good.” And 1 left tlre genial janitor feeling sure that I bad met oneof nature’s noblemen. MR. GULLUWXSON STRONGLY APPROVES. A few yard$ iarther up the street I was struck by an attractive display of carpets. Tne display ¥as not in the window, but in the interior of the store. On either side were ranged tolls of various grades and many styles of carpets, but what parti- culariy siruck My eye was the artistic way in which the ous patterns bad been placed. I said|some genius has eitber done this or supérintended it, and'so I de- cided to go in. was the store of Gullix- \ i { recognized as being one of the most straightforward, honest men on earth when his particular line of goods is not in question. It seems more than passing strange that one should be able to go an find on a great thorcughfare like Market street at haphazard so many good, square ‘business men indorsing Joy’s Vegetable Sarsapariila, and it only proves more con- clusively than ever thatitis one of the discoveries of the age. As one gentleman put it, *‘It’s the only thing which does ali good and no harm, and it does good every time.”” That surely seems to be the gene- ral opinion of the leading merchants of | San Francisco. ‘WiLLIAM CHENHALLS. | | still that and | yossibly 1 ore is the amount of coin which | Mr. Solomon, the well-known wholesale | Coady, the Rider of the Favorite, Ca- brillo, Suspended Pending Further Investigation. The judges on the stand at the Bay District track turned the cathode ray on a race yesterday, and the result of the ex- periment will be eagerly awaited by the race-going public. Cabrillo, with Coady up, opened a pronounced even-money favorite for the sixth event, afiveand a half furlong dash, but did not.appear to be in great demand and receded in the bet- ting to8to5. In his previous races the “THE CALL” horse has received his preparation at the hands of Wilber Smith, the Sacramento horseman, but on Tuesday Owner Van Brunt turned the racer over to thé tender care of the wizdrd of the Lone and Cam- bridge stable, William Murry. He was ridden in yesterday’s race by Coady, he of the Wheel of Fortune-Hidago finish fame, and wound up fourth. Possibly that was the best he could do, but'the officials in the siand thought differently and declared all ,'Zf" off amid great cheering in the betting ng. The trainer bad received permission from the judges to work the horse on, and he ran a very creditable mile. Coady was suspended pending the X.ray develop- ments. This is of the story, but two halves make a whole. The elastic gray horse Sir Richard won in hellow ' fashion. Time was when this gray horse was con- sidered a most consistent former. He runs in the name of F. W. Taylor, but ru- mor credits him with being the proverty of another man. Some weeks ago the gray sprinter was taken up. to the ranch of B. C. olly and imbibed of the waters of that magic spring that caused Revolver, Judge Terry, Sympathetic’s Last and Montaliade to be.so afflicted with speed—at times. On his return to the scene of racing operations Sir Richard ran a couple of mellowy races. Yesterday he opened u at5 to 1, and dry-goods boxes and step-lad- ders were called into requisition in the scrumble to reach over the heads of the rabble to hoist the big bundles of coin into RACING CHART.

Poor Coady! Otherwise the racing had a very healthy look. To be sure the favorite had a rough time of it, but that is to be expected. Lumina, who captured the two-year-old event,and Starling were the only first- choicers to pass the wire in front. Ex-jockey Joe Flynn’s mare Starling, backed from 5 down to 3i4, made all the running in the opening race at seven fur- longs and won easily from Malo Diablo. Twelve maiden two-year-olds started in the four-farlong scramble. It soon devel- oped that Lumina was the good thing,a ton of money forcing her odds down from twos to6to5. Shields had the fifli in front al- most from the jump and she won bya length in :4914. Early Notice and St Dunstan fought it out for the place, the former taking it by a head. The mile handicap saw the 4 to 5 favor- ite Rosebud succumb to defeat. After trailing Flashlight until well straightened away in the stretch the favorite showed in the lead, but when challenged by Rey Del Bandidos was beaten out rather easily by a length, The seven-furlong run over the inside course resulted in the usual dump. De- cision was played as though the race was already over, going to the t 4 to 5. Tonino, a 15 to 1 outsider, had the favor- ite’s measure from the startand taking the lead going down the hill showed the way home, passing the wire a length in front of Pollock. The first choice was but a head further back. The black horse, Hidago, was downed in the one and a quarter miles selling affair. Collins, the 11 to 5 second choice, took the lead turning down the backstretch, and despite Chorn’s hard riding on Hi- dago, who was heavily played at4 to 5, Dr. Rowell’s deceptive traveling brown geld- | ing captured the race cleverly by over a lengzh in 2:09%4. For the concluding event, a seven-fur- long run, Charley McDonald ruled a 4 to 5 favorite. For the greater portion of the way fog obscured a view of the horses. At the end Fairfaith, a 5 to 1 choice, won cleverly by a neck from Flirtilla. Track and Paddock Items. Ed Tipton, secretary of the Kentucky Breeders’ Association, who is attending to the managerial part of the Montana rac- ing circuit, was an onlooker at the races yesterday. Collins changed hands at the conclusion of the mile and a quarter event. It wasa selling affair, and when the brown geld- ing, who was entered to be sold for $600, ‘was put up at auction, E@ Gaines bid him up to $10¢0, and Dr. Rowell let the ani- mal go. The announced starters with their weights for the Burns stake are as follows: Lovdal 108, Pepper 110, Fortuna 97, Vinc- tor 112, Installator 111, Wheel of Fortune 106, Thornhill 101, Santa Bella 97, Miss Brummel 92, Crescendo 107, Service 115, Silver State 88. The judges thought Lloyd put up a sort of listless ride on My Sweetheart, and set him down for thirty days. The victory of Fairfaith at his second essay was a most unexpected one—last, then first. The number onyencilers booking in the ring is steadily diminishing. Yesterday but thirteen cut in. Garnet Ferguson, son of the starter, and Bookmaker Barney Schreiberengaged in a wordy tilt in_the betting ring yesterday. On Tuesday Barney’s jockey, Chorn, rode 8t. Lee, owned by young Mr. Ferguson, in a six-furlong dash, finishing third. Fer- uson, it is said, casi insinuations that horn pulled the colt, which reached the ears of the bookmaker. Yesterday Garnet went to Barney and endeavored to get the services of little Slaughter to pilot the horse in a raceto be run to-day, for which he was to be a “good | thing.”” Barney said his boys were not riding ‘“dead ones,” and mutual expres- sions of love and admiration passed be- tween the pair.

Morse, ome of the directors of the Northwest Milling and Power Com- pany, Washington, was interviewed with regard to the affairs of the company and the alleged absconding of President Simon Oppenheimer, at the residence of his father, 711 Leavenworth street, last even- ing. Said Mr. Morse: *‘The bonded indebted- ness of the company is $300,000. Outside of that the liabitities consist of money bor- rowed to build the flournuilland the saw- mill anden electric liglhz plant. This is said to be $100,000, but I think it is nearer $200,000. This Mr. Oppenheim borrowed personally, with the expectation of selling stock in the future to the value of $200,000. ““He has gone East to try to sell the stock, and he says that he will not return until he has done so. I think, however, that he will return, if he fails to sell the stock, inside of sixty days. He owns three-fourths of the stock, and if be could sell one-half ‘his share, he would have ready money to o] te the company. *“The company owns twenty-seven acres of land in the heart of the city, with water running througn it, which, in its lowest stage, will produce 35,000 horsepower. This is divided up into five channels, through which the water flows, and is composed of solid lava rock. About $425.000 has been expended by the company. It is considered by experis to be ome of the finest mill an1 power propositions west of Niagara. “The two mills already built are of ranite. The flourmill is seven stories igh, and has a caqncity of 12,000 barrels daily. The sawmill is'a three-story struc- ture, and can turn out: 60,000 feet of lum- ber every ten hours. They are saia by ex- perts to be the finest millsof their capacity 1n the United States. “Mr. Opmeimer did not_ abscond, as some * suggested. He is as honest a man as I ever met. He has one East simply to try to sell the stock. 'o my own knowledge, he took only a valise containing a few necessary articles and enough money to defray his expenses there and back. He has claimed noex- emptions whatsoever and made no assign- ment. His creditors have now come in on him in his absence and taken everything. He did not even endeavor to dispose of his dwelling and they have taken that. They have even taken possession of his house; hold goods and furniture.” B “Do you think that he will succeed in selling half his share and getting the com- pln%mm working order again ?"”’ “Well, everything is now in the handsof a receiver and is being operated by him. This will be a serious handicap to dispos- ing of nny:c’hing. I am not very sanguine of success. “Where is Mr. Oppenheimer now ?” “He is in New York. AsI said before, I expect him back inside of sixty days.” Mr. Morse signified his intention of tak- ing up his residence pcrnlnen;‘liy in San Francisco. If the company should recover its footing, however, he will probably re- turn to Spokane. 5 Mr. Morse’s wife is a daughter of the late David McKinley, Consul-General from Hawaii to this port, and a niece of ex-Gov- ernor Wiliiam McKinley of Ohio. .- The Catholic Confessional.

THE IDEAL HOME, Anna Shaw Says Mothers Rule the ‘World Only While it Is in the Cradle. Rev. Anna H. Shaw lectured last night at the California-street Methodist Church upon the home. Unlike many of the lecturers on this topic, the speaker de- plored the lack of fatherhood in the fam- ily institution. The homes of America call not so much for women government as they do for more attention and care from the nominal heads of them. The reverend lady then drew a picture of the father at home with that Chinese wall, the newspaper,held up vefore him be- tween his family and himself. The father of this country gives everything to his children but himself. “ILonce saw one of the greatest men of our country,” said she, “1alking with his son in the most confidential manner. [ was struck with the spectacle, and said, *S1r, you two appear to get along well to- gether.” ‘Yes,” he answered, ‘I and my boy are the best of friends.” 1 like to hear of ‘the father’s part of the rearing of the boy. I once went to a Boston noonday prayer-meeting, and heard all of the large number of business men there tell how the influence of their mothers made them what they were. A lady present said to me, ‘Those mothers must have lostgtheir husbands early as I haven’t heard that a single father had anything to do in raising those boys.’” I would rather see a boy reared in a _home where there was one father than in a home where there were several women. “The saying that ‘the hand that rocks the eradle rules the world,’ is true only while the world is in the cradle. The lit- tle fellow soon gets out of it and then there is work for some other than the cradle-rocker. 'When women make a busi- ness of the home life then will we have the best type of fatherhood, the best type of motherhood and childhood. When the home becomes the caucus of the country, when patriotism springs from that spot, then we will rear ideal citizens.” A FATAL ACCIDENT. Death of an Old Lady Who Was Run Over by a Buggy. Mrs. Sartorus, a widow, aged 71 vears, and living with her son at 531 Ellis street, died at the German Hospital yesterday morning. She was run over at the corner of Turk and Hyde streets on the evening of March 16, The wheels of the buggy, which was drawn by one horse anddriven by a man unknown, passed over her body. A rib was broken and the woman was otherwise injured. George Sartorus, son of the deceased, reported the case at the Coroner’s oflice Easterdny and an investigation will be eld. The physicians who attended Mrs. Sartorus do not think that her injuries were sulficient to have caused death. The excitement that followed the accident, it is thought, had much to do with hasten- ing her ¢nd, as she was advanced in years and in & feeble physical state. — Sternberg Declared Guilty.
