THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1896. 9 BUSHELS OF PILLS AT THE PESTHOUSE The Anti-Leprosy Medicine Opened and Exam- ined. IT IS IN THREE roxms.} But Appetite for a Haliday Dinner May Delay Treat- meat. IN FOUR CLASSES. LEPERS Much Interest and Curiosity Displayed by the Lepers at the bequeathed her property to her son, Fred- erick J. Vetter. The will was made in 1893, but in 1896, four months before she died, Mrs. Vetter executed a deed of gift, conveying what property she had to her son. The property consisted of real estate on Market street, near Sixth, and of a residence on Fell street. Since Mrs. Vetter's death Rosine Grant, a sister of the deceased, has filed a petition asking that N. Jacobs be appointed ad- ministrator of the estate in question. Yesterday F. J. Vetter filed a paper pro- testing against Jacobs’ appointment and declaring that Rosine Grant has no rights in the matter which need protection. — SIEBE'S BANK SUITS. La Societe Francaise Obtains a Writ of Certiorari in the Matter. The last bank suit against Assessor Siebe to prevent him assessing the corpo- ration’s personal holdings on the basis of the Bank Commissioners’ report, was filed yesterday. La Societe Francaisy d'EPur_R- nes et de Prevoyance Mutuelle is plaintiff in the case. The French Bank claims that on Apyil 10 it paid the Assessor the taxeson its property as valued by that corporation, and received a receipt in full therefor, but that since then the Assessor has assessed other property of the bank, which is not assessable under the law, amounting in all to $348,727. The additional tax would bi\?:‘lgxnbe notified the bank that unless this amount was paid before noon yester- { day he would seize its personal property | to satisfy his claim. The bank, therefore, Unpacking. Five big boxes ornamented outside and inside with mystic Japanese characters were dumped at the Pesthouse door yester- day morning. They mutely announced delayed arrival of the Dr. v specific for which the fourteen lepers there have been patiently waiting for so many days. The course of treat- | ment will now soon begin. | City Physician A. P. O’Brien arrived soon after the medicine did. He and Goto anti- | TOFLY A MLEIN THE N Superintendent J. P. Keating of the Pest- | house, when the boxes had found a final place of storage in the nurses’ room in the smallpox ward, opened one of the boxes. Curious and odorless little brown pills by the bucketful, bushels of smail chips of what seems to be bark of a faint aud pecu- liar odor, and bushels of haif crushed and vowdered yellow bark, were exposed to light for the first time since they left the land of the Mikado. Thesmallehips first described are to make tea with, and the other so-called chips are to go into the baths with the fep‘em. The Chinese woman, “Annie,” dne of the worst cases of leprosy in the Pesthouse, watched the opening of the box and inspected the three preparations of the cure with great interest. The packages are put up in the neat Japanese manner. Each package con- ins instructions in Japanese and Eng- Dr. O'Brien prepared a schedule of doses to direct the nurses and posted it on the waill. The lepers are all designated by name, and the guantity of pills and tea and the numberof baths is about the same in each. The schedule looks something like this: Frank Bindt, Ernest Bindt, Pedro Penida, Bruce, Bath, 1 package. Pills, 3 teaspoons- | ful. One teaspoon- | ful after each meal | three times a day. 1 There are- from 90 to 100 pills in a tea- spoonful. The pills have a tendency to nauseate in many cases. Superintendent Keating, who sampled one, said they are almost tasteless, but he drew the line at drinking the tea and taking a bath in the stuff. 3 There are about three heaping table- spoonsful of the tea in each package. It is put into about a pintof waterand boiled down one-third before using. The package containing the bath prep- aration is about the size of a bunch of fire- crackers. The bark is put into a linen bag and soaked in the water. Dr. Goto’s instructions are that pure running water is best for the bath and weli water next best. The Pesthouse has neither. The whites and the Chinese will bathe in separate tubs, and they will use one water. Owing to cthe limited accommoda- tions at the Pestbouse probably only one bath a day will be taken. The Bindt boys, as mentioned in THE Carn several days ago, have taken the | treatment before. It did them a great | deal of good. They were broken out, and | their faces and 'hands were as badly swollen and as scaly as the worst case in | the Pesthouse. Now their complexions | are clear, though pale, and their flesh is | smooth. They will keep up the treatment. Pedro Penida, the Mexican, has been tak- ing the pills alone about two months, He said yesterday that they had done him some good. When the pills nauseate the | instructions of Dr. Goto are to stop using them for & day or two, and to never take them on an émpty stomach. Further in- structions from Dr. Goio are to the effect that for every five days of bathing there must be one day of rest, and that if con- gestion or fatigue follow, the number of baths must be decreased, The member of tie Board of Health of Honolulu who was here some weeks ago said that the baths, | though the most inconvenient to take, seemed to do the lepers more good than any other part of the treatment. The | water must cover the shoulders of the bather. It was intended to celebrate the glorious | Fourth at the Pesthouse by beginning the | treatment this morning, but the leper | appetite may interfere with this pro- gramme. The leper appetite is quite vig- orous. The fourteen unfortunates heard | yesterday afternoon that Superintendent Keating is going to give them a special spread to-day in honor of the Deciaration of Independence. Among ogher good things to eat each leper, as he passes be- fore the cook’s window bearing a platter for the regular “hand-out,” wilfbe given a piece of succulent roast pig and some pastry. Now, the lepers know that the pills have a tendency to make them sick at the stom- ach, so some have declared themselves to the effect that they prefer to postpone the beginning of the treatment one day to run- ning the risk of losing roast pig and pas- try after it is comfortably locgted under | their waistbands, and this mn?’ be done. Superintendent Keating was inclined to postpone the treatment till all could be- gin it together. i Dr. O’Brien said last evening that if the roast pig and pastry appetite of the pa- tients did not shrink in size the treatment might not begin to-day. ‘‘They are going to_have a little beer, too, I believe,” he said. “I have diviaed the patients into four classes,”” he continued, **from those who have leprosy in its incipient stages up to those who have it in its worst form. There is only one caseof Asiatic leprosy out there—the scaly kind. He is that tall, fine-looking Chinaman. Each of the four classes will bathe in the same water. Ido not want to put those who have the dis- ease in its early stage into the same water with the ulcerated patients. I do not think I shall go out there again until Monday morning.” *“When ought the effect of the treatment to become visible?” he was asked. *It ought to be visible in the skin of the patients in two or three days,”’ the doctor replied. THE VEITER ESTATE. Complications Over the Property of a Mother Who Gave All to Her Son. There seems to be some friction among the surviving relatives of Caroline Vetter, who died last month, leaving a will which prayed that a writ of certiorari be issued, | in order that the action of the Assessor | might be reviewed and that Siebe be en- | joined from further proceedings in the matter until after the case had been de- cided. Judge Troutt granted the restraining | order, and the hearing will be had next | week. the long-i JIPAN'S MONEY IN ENGLISH BANKS, The Way in Which They Purpose to Dispose of It.

OFF FOR ALASEA. Mystic Shriners Have Gone North on an Excursion, Nobles of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, with their wives and daunghters, got away at 6:30 o’clock last evening on their excur- sion to Alaska. They will leave the oasis of California for about twenty-six days, a week or ten days of which will be spent in the wilderness of ice and night and flowers of the far north. There 1s much night and many glaciers in Alaska, but the climate on the coast is mild. The party took the train for Tacoma and will board the steamer Queen at that point. Captain Carroll of the Queen is an old San Francisco boy, and members of the party have in store for him a thing or two in the nature of surprises. The Queen’s cabins will be decorated with emblems of the Mystic Shrine. There will be a side excursion to Juneaun_after the party reaches Sitka. Colonel V. R. Duboce, secretary of the Shrine, who has assisted materially in the preparations, found at the last moment that he could not go, as he has charge of a battalion in the parade to-day. Amongthe party were: C. L. Patton and wife, J. Z. Davis and wife, E. P. Foster and wife, Colonel F. W. Sumner and wiie, M. W. Belshaw and wife, George Haas and wife, Mrs. Ella A. Judson, Miss Sophie Pearl Judson, Miss Edith Bass, C. L. ield and wife, C. S. Benedict and wife, Colonel C. Mason Kinne and wife, Dr. Wright and wife, Martin Jones and wife, J.

From this coign | of vantage Forecast Official W. H. Ham- | mon will make an experiment with several i new modeled kites just received from ‘Washington, D. C. These kites have been made expressly | for San Francisco by Mr. Pottor of the | Weather Bureau Department. Thé model | upon which they are formed required ad- | ditional strength in consequence of the | high wind in this City. | Mr. Hammond ana his associate, Alex- | ander G. McAdie, will send the first kite into the air from the roof at 9 o’clock this morning and will continue running the | wire with his experiments until 12 o’clock, | thereby giving the thousands of spectators who 1 be ont of doors an opportunity of viewing Mr. Pottor’s model at a height of a mile in an easterly direction from the | top of a ten-story’building. It will be the ambition of Mr. Hammon this forenoon to surpass anything hereto- fore recorded in the kite-flying line. The highest elevation made by any kite is that recently reporled to have been made in | Washington within the past few weeks, | where it is said the 6000 feet limit had | been passed, but those figures are not | taken as official by the authorities in this | City. The verified record, however, of | 4700 feet, as made in New Jersey, is cred- | ited, and to pass this, as_also the reported ‘Washington figures, will be one of Mr. Hammon’s ambitions to-day. | In breaking this kite-flying record the experiment will be under the auspices of the San Francisco CALL. An experiment was made yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock, when the Kkite was sent out for a half mile, with a wind force of thirty miles an hour. Everything worked most satisfactorily an the ‘Weather Burean officials are confident that lthey will achieve the honor of send- {ing a_ kite higher in the air than has ever i been done heretofore. At all events the | trial will be made, and should a success follow Mr. Hammon will be pleased and | the people of San Francisco will be grati- fied 1o learn that the attempt has been | made to penetrate the heavens with in- | struments that-will inform them of the kind of climate that the fellows up there have to live in. G, Py WELCH 1S CHOSEN, An Efficient Man to Be Suc cessor to the Late General McComb. Elected Out of Thirteen Candi- dates—An Ex-Naval Officer. It has been announced by President Sonntag of the Bociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children that C. P. Welch, out of thirteen candidates, has been chosen the successor of General McComb as secretary of the society. He wasin- dorsed by thirty naval officers, several of- ficers of the regular army, besides by many of the leading merchants of the City. Altogether 142 signatures attested to this gentleman’s ability and worth, Mr. Welch is a naval officer on' the re- tired list, being a graduate of the Annapo- lis class of 1868. Among his classmates are numbered Executive Officer Ingersoll of the Philadelphia and Executive Officer ‘Wadams of the Monterey. Mr. Welch was born in Charlestown, Mass., in 1847, but has lived 1n California twenty-two years and has been a resident of San Francisco for thirteen years. His friends say that heis particulm-l{ adapted to this tion, requiring as it does executive ability, tact and firmness in emergencies, as in all these qualifica- tions Mr. Welch is attested to be favored. The future secretary isa man of great popularity among his comrades, and has been an officer in the George H. Thomas Post, G. A. R., for eight years. 2 Mr. Welch expressed himsélf last night as highly gratified at the honor and con- fidence conferred upon him by his friends. «What is particularly gratifying to me,” said he, “is that no place where I went was I refused indorsement. I believethat 1 have a taste for this kind of work, and shall certainiy exert every effort to up- hold all the principles and requirements of uhe office.” . In 1876 the Bociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was organized in this City and so great has its sphere of useful- ness become that it attends regularly to 750 cases each month. The present presi- dent.is Charles Sonntag. R — An Old Musician Gone. Louls Schmidt, well known in musical eir- cles for more than twenty years, dropped dead yesterday morning at the corner of Leaven- worth and Sutter streets.

Next month he will be in London directing the dis- bursement of the $100,000,000 now on de- posit in the Bank of England by China to the credit of Japan. He intends to remain there a year and will then return to his financial departmental duties of state in Tokio. The $75,000,000 balance of the war indemnity due from China to Japan is payable in six installments in the month of May of the next succeeding vears, but in addition to this sum there are the inter- est upon the principal, the annual 500,000 taels for the expenses of the Japanese troops while they remain at Wai-hai-wei and the 30,000,000 taels allowed for the surrender of the peninsula of Liau-Tong, the payments of which have to be seen to by the accredited representatives of the two Governiaents. *'The national debt of Japan,'’ said the Secretary, “‘is now about 370,000,000 yen, bearing ‘interest, generally, at 5 per cent per annum. The expenses of the late war with China were some 210,000,000 yen and the result will be an enormous iacrease in the expenditures of the state. Before the war our finances were conducted on a very uniform scale, but now, since its cessation, all is changed, and Viscount Watanabe is compelled to adopt a new and broader pol- icy to meet the requirements of existing conditions. “The damage to our army and navy must be repaired immediately, and a vast | sum of money must also be appropriated to the encouragement of our home indus- tries and manuiacturesand to foreign trade and commerce. To carry out these ideas successfully the first step necessary was to devise ways and means for increasing our national revenue. For the accomplish- ment of this purpose we have taken the following measures: 1. A monopoly has been declared upon tobacco leaves. “2. The tax upon sake has been in- creased 30 per cent. ‘3. A stamp tax hasbeen levied upon the record of all sales and transfers of real estate, etc. ‘4. A uniform license tax is exacted from leading business and professional men, “All tobacco-planters have to send their leaves to the Government warehouses, whence the raw material is supplied to manufacturers. sake, or rice wine, is in common use in our country, and the reve- nue derived from. this source is corre- upond!nfl_v large, The tax on real estate transactions, etc., is regulned according to values, and in the business and pro- fessional licenses it is only the wealthier people who are taxed. With these new sources the Government secures a net in- crease of 26,000,000 yen a year over that of preceding years, “‘For all this money, not to mention the war indemnity, Japan has many uses. The interest on Government bond{ must be met, also the increased pension claims. The army and navy must be put in a condition which will ‘insure the safety of the nation, railroads, telegraph and tele- phone lines must be constructed, embank- ments must be built along our rivers to E;cvem. intndations, iron ‘incwries must erected, a new banking system must be established to loan money on real estate, subsidies must be granted to navigation companies, harbors must be constructed, our civil and military system of education must be improved, the lately acquired island of Formosa must be settled, etc. “In our estimated expenses for the present fiscal year we allow 400,000,000 yen for the construction railroads; for the E;illcipl] and interest on Government nds, 30,000,000 yen; for the army, 42,000, 000 yen; for the navy, 24,000,000 yen; for pensions, 3,000,000 yen; for tel ph and telephone lines, 3,000,000 yen; for naviga- tion subsidies, -hfps. etc., 700,000 yen; for the establishment of iron factories, 600,000 yen; for public education, 500,000 yen.” — George Middlemiss’ Stock.

Any of ths departments of the Superior Court of this City and County, when in session, will receive ap- Fllcufions for naturalization. 'No special days have been set for the departments for that purpose. MCKINLEY'S RELIGION—Lady Subscriber, City. William McKinley, the Republican candidate for President of the United States, is a member of the Methodist church. On the first page of THE CALL, issue of Monday, June 22, you will find an account of Major McKiuley at worship. FEBRUARY 29—T. H. H,, City. An individual born on the 29th of February will not be able to celebrate the anniversary of his birth on that day in 1900, for the reason that that year will not be a leap year, and it is only in lea years that the 28( h of February otcnx’s. . SIXTEEN TO ON . P. J. and others, City. An answer to a number of correspondents given in the issue of Monday, June 29, under the head of “The Silver Question” in Answers to Correspondents gives an explanation of the matter referred to in your communication. CESAR AND CICERO—A. C. R., Burlingame. Cal. There is considerable difference of opin- ion'as to how these two words should be pro- nounced in Latin. The pronunciation as teught in the schools of San Francisco at this time is, as if Cmsar was written keesar, and Cicero was written kickero. CUBAN REVOLUTION—J. W., East Oakland, Cal. It is no easy matter to communicate by letter with the revolutionists in Cuba. Probably the most successful way to accomplish that would be to write to the Cuban Junta, New York City, inclosing the communication which it is desired should be transmitted. AxNswERs—M. B., City. No charge is made for answers in this department. All questions to which it is possible to obtain an answer will receive attention and recognition; but there are questions asked sometimes that it is impossible to answer, and this department does not feel called on to give a reason in each csse why no answer is given, For THE PRESIDENCY—J. W., Usal, Mendocino County, Cal. The constitution of the United States says: “No person except & matural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this constitu- tion, shail be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained the age of 35 years and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.” . ELECTING A PoPE—A. C. R., Burlingame, Cal. The election of a Pope was definitely placed in the hands of the Cardinals by Pope Nicholas II. 1n 1059, and, with some modifications, this is the present method of election. The Cardi- nals meet on the eleventh day after the de- cease of the Pope in a series of double ceils (conelaye) one for each Cardinal, his secretary and chambertain, and on the lollowing day the election begins. They are not bound to elect a Cardinal—only heretics and simoniacal p;nolm n're c‘x.el deld;:;n: the h:lonllng n::‘?l the election I ac spec reserved for that P‘\’lrpol«. e i Tre PoNy Exeress—J. 0'D., City.

A person may declare & homestead on his dwelling and the land on which it stands, and the limit of the homestead at the time of declaration must not exceed $5000. The amount of land does not affect the decl tion. The markei value is generally considered the test of the value of the nomestead. THE BET WAS OFF—Sport, City. In the Cor” bett-Sharkey match the decision of the referee declaring bets off affects all bets, those made outside as well as those made inside of the poolroom, for the reason that the proposition ihat Sharkey was to stay four rounds with Cor- bett was not determined. Before the termina- tion of the fourth round the police stepped in and put an end to the show, consequentlg Sharkey did not demonstrate that he coul stay four rounds with his opponent. Bets made on that proposition are off. CORBETT AND CHOYNSKI—A. 8., City. The record shows that in 1884 Jim Corbett met Choynski and defeated him in one round. They met again May 30, 1889, at Fairtax and fought four rounds, when the police put a stop to the fight. On the 5th of June follow- ing they again met, that time at Benicia, when thiey fought twenty-seven rounds and Choynski was the loser, he being knocked out. On the 15th ot July, same year, they met once more, that time in San Francisco, and Choyn- ski was defeated in four rounds. SWIMMING—J. W. C., City. The best way to learn to swim is to place yourself under the care of a swimming teacher, butif you do not care to do that the following is said by a pro- fessor of natation to be the best method for one who wishes to learn. “Wade out until breast deep in the water, turn toward the shore, throw a white pebble or other object easily discernible a short distance before you and plunge after it. The resistance offered by the water 10 this effort will buoy you up and the moment you have acquired sufficient confi- dence and command of your limbs to strike out regularly you will h; learned to swim.” T0 OBTAIN A PATENT—T. McD., City. In order to obtain & patent it is always safest to con- sult a reputable attorney who makes a spe- cialty of such business. You might on your own account make application for a patent at the Patent Office in Washington, but you might make & mistake that would involve con- siderable loss to you. The fees, exclusive of that charged by the attorney for his service, are to be paid in advance and are as follows: On filing each original application fora patent, $15: on issuing each original patent, $20. In design vases—For thrée years and six months, $10; for seven years, $15; for fourteen years, $30. On filing each caveat, $10; on every ap- R“c.un for the reissue of & patent, $30; on ling each disclaimer, $10; for certified copies of paténts and other vapers in manuscript, 10 cents per 100 words; for certified copies of printed patents, 85 cents; for uncertified copies of printed patents, 10 cents; for record- ing every assignment, agreement, wer of at- lomef or other paper of 300 words or under, $1; of over 300 and under 1000 words, ¥ of over 1000 words, $3; for copies of drawing the reasonable cost of making them. ETIQUETTE—D. J., City. If A and B,strangers to each other, call upon Mrs. C. and after the evening has advanced A finds it is time to re- tire he should do so quietly, express his regrets to the hostess and to B that he is forced to “leave such pleasant company,” etc., and as he leaves B should rise and either extend his band or bow and express regret that A must take his leave. If a hostess has a servant she should call that individual to accomvany a parting guest to the door,1f there are other guests in the parlor, as 1t is 1mproper to allow & parting gues: to make his or her way out the best way possible. 1f the hostess has no se: vant she can excuse herself to those remaining and herself accompany the parting guest. 1f you are invited by a friend to dine at one of the large hotels the friend will order the din- ner, but as & rule if the dinnerisa la carte the friend will consult your tasies as to the partic- ular dishes you may desire to have brought to you, ana such should only be ordered as each course comes in order. It would be very im- polite on accepting a friend’s invitation to dine to examine the bill of fare and tneu sa; “I guess I'll have chicken soup, crab sala oyster patties, fricandeau and peas, some roast chicken, asparagus and Freuch salad, char- lotte russe, icecream and smeall cakes, and then asmall cup of coffee.” No, it will never do under the circumstances “to order all the courses at the same time.” If a lady is seated ina pariorand a stranger enters and is in- troduced the lady, unless an invalid or of ad- vanced age, should rise while acknowledging the introduction. JUrY Duty—*‘Wellington,” City. The law of this State says that every citizen of 21 years of age who has been a resident of the State one year and of the county or city and county ninety days, who has the possession of all bis faculties, has ordiaary intelligence and is not decrepit, is possessed of a suflicient knowledge of the English language, and is assessed on the last assessment roll of the county or city and county on property belonging to him, is quali- fied to be a juror. Age is not an excuse for non-service on a jury. Those who are excused by law are judicial, civil or military officers of the United States and of the State of Califor- nia; those holding city, county or town- ship offices; attorneys-at-law, ministers and priests of every denomination following their professions; teachers in universitles, colleges and schools; physicians; druge gists actually engaged in the business of dispensing drugs and medicine: - cers, keepers and attendants of an alms- house, hospital, asylum or other charitable institution; officers or attendants at a State prison or county ; those employed in navi- gation on the waters of the State; express agents, mail carriers, employes or operators of a telegraph compani' doing & general tele- graph business in this State; & keeper of & public ferry or toll-gate; active members of the National Guard or fire department, or an exempt fireman; superintendent, engineer or conductor of a raiiroad; a person who has been drawn as a juror in any court of record on a regular panel and who has served as such within a year (but such is not exempt when cailed to iry a particular case). In this City and County jurors are paid in civil, but not in criminal ceses. A case is pending to deter- mine if jurors are entitled to pay in criminal cases. MALARIA AND RHEUMATISM From the Journal, Wilmington, Ohio. On one of the fertile farms of the rich Ohio Valley, seven miles from Wilmington, the county seat of Clinton County, Ohio, and but a short distance from the small town of Melvin, their postofiice, in & cozy little country home, tesides John Arrasmith and his wife, Minnie. A few days since a representative of the Journal drove out to Melvin to_see them. In the course of the conversation, Mrs. A. detailed the facts of her cure: *‘Last July,” said she, ‘‘from undue exposure in mf work about the farm, I contracted ma- larial fever and rheumatism and suffered from the iliness greatly. I could not throw it off, and slthough constantly attended by local physicisns continued to grow worse. In ser tember I caught a severe cold, which greatly increased my other troubles, and taking tomy bed there Ilay for months. The rheumatism grew more aggravated, and for eight long weeks rior to last Christmas I was perfectly help- ess, my limbs below the hips being as if para- 1yzed and I having no use of them whatever. Tcould not help myself in any way, and was not able even to turn over in bed unless my husband or some one else came and turned me. Medicines which the physicians lef: did no good and nothlns I could take afforded any reliéf. 1 was discouraged and fesred that never again would I beup and about the housc. 1t was anything but a bright prospect, for I was but 20 years old, had been married only two years and my life was before me and to go through it & helpless cripple, a burden to my f. ends, was a feartul fate to think of. “1had read inthe Wilmington Journal from time to time articles telling of the wonderful cures which had been effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. and had become impressed with the cases where they had caused persons to walk and recover who had been us helpless as [ was. Consulting my husband, we determined to give them & trial. he drove into wumlnnon.w-ml going_to the drug store of George W. Brown bought three boxes of the pille.
