A communi- cation was received from the New York Cummissioners, stating that all Un.ted “Siates vessels were charged wharfege. In _consequence the-same rule will be followed here.

When the Postmaster re- eived the communication he was suffering * from a severe attack of inflammatory rheu- inatism; nevertheless he got out of bed and went to the meeting of the Harbor Commissioners. Heexplained that Uncie Sam was poor, but that the coal would be supplied if the State would put up a stove - in tbe main room of the building.

The Wreeker Whitelaw Put In All Yesterday Searching for an Anchor Lost by the Battle-Ship Oregon in Richardsons Bay. The Hook Is Still in the Mud. DR, FORD'S CLAIM NOT YET ALLOWED His Bill Calls for $1555 for Five Days’ Ser- vices. Even at That Rate Miss Taber, the Patient, Did Not Pull Through. No Intimation cf How Much the Physi- cian Wounld Have Charged if the Lacy Had Lived. Judge Coffey lost his breath for a moment yesterday morning, and ex-Judge Van Revnegom for a like period of time stood speechless, as Dr. Campbell Ford calmly stated the items in hnis claim against the estate of Mrs. Caroline Taber, deceased. The bill from June 29 to July 3 of this year was $1555, at the end of which tim~ the patient died. The doctor was not asked how much he would have, charged if she had got well under his ministrations. Dr. Ford’s bill of particuiars is as fol- lows: Estate of Caroline Taber, deceased, to Dr. Camp- bell Ford, Dr. June 29, one visit and treatmen| 85 Juje 29,12 3. visit and (reatm, 5 June 29, 8 P, ., visit and treatm 5 i M., consuitation June 29, 9 oG] vee waees 1 June 29, all night detention, from 10 P. 3 until 64 M. 30 180 June #0, 9 . 5 5 10 160 Juue 30, al' night detent.on and treatment. Juiv 1to July 8, eight consuliatio s, 1L five ho.rs contiunous attenda treatment. Total... This was sworn to before Lee D, Craig, notary public. Attorney Herman gently sugzested to Dr. cord that the court would like to have an explanacion of the chargesin the bill, and Judge Coffey confessed to some sligh! curiosity on the subject. Mr. Van Reynegom, drew attention to the fact that Dr. Ford’s bill for attendin J. E. Taber; d ceased, formerly hnsblng of Caroline Taber, deceased, from June 20 to July 2 was $770. The claim was allowed for $140 by the administratrix, In Mr. Van Reynezom’s opinion all services ren- dered to Mrs. Taber prior to her husband’s death should be charged to her husband’s estate, and only the services rendered after J. E. Taber's death should be charged to the estate of Caroline Taber. He said that according to Dr. Ford’s bills in the two separate estates, Caroline Taber died one day later than J. E. Taber, her husband. He asked to have the ac- count remodeled in that regard, and re- served any objection to the items nntit that should be done. 5 “Then both Mr. Taber and his wife were sick at the same time and were treated simultaneously by you?” asked Judge Coffey, who evinced a desire to under- stand the basis of the charges before the biils were reconstructed. “Both sick at the same time and both treated at the same time.”’ replied Dr. Ford, “Both in the same house ?"’ *“Yes; both 1n the same bed.” “The same bed ?" “¥es,!" “Well, well,” said the Judge in astonish ment, but the probate record discloses the fact that they didn’t get well, Returning to the attack Judge Coffey said: “Isce you have charged at the 1ate of $20 an_hour for attendance on Caroline Taver. Did you charge $20 an nour for attendance simaltaneously on J, E, Taber?” “O1 course,’’ replied Dr. Ford cheerfully. “But doesn’t it make a difference when you are treating two persons like thatat the same time?"’ 2 “Certainly not,”” loftily. “How do you explain that?” inquired the Judge in his most insinuating tones. “Both were sick at the same time and both had to be treated at the same time,”’ slowly explained the witn as if to allow his words to penetrate the judicial brain. “Then you charged double, or at the rate of $40 an hour?”’ persisted Judge Coffey. “To be sure,” somewhat curtly rflffllfl Dr. Ford. He appeared bored to learn that anyvody should think it necessary to ask so many questions regarding a trival matter, “] find one item of $1100 which includes eight consultations and, as you say, fifty- five hours’ continuous attendance. Now do you mean for the court to understand that you were actually in attendance fifty- five consecutive hours?” was Judge Cof- hy’; next suggestion, "We: "A:;i you didn’t sleep any\during that e #y dog'l think I slept more than an hour or ““Well, if you slept two hours that will admit of some reduction in that report.” “It wasn’t over one hour that [slept.” +Even one hour will make some differ- ence,” was the court's pitiless remar Mr.Van Reyncgom next tried his hand at pruning the biil. He suggested that in the charges for consultation with other physicians Dr. Ford's charge would in- [ clude the bilts of those other physicians and that the estate would not be called on for adaitional claims, If Mr. Van Reyne- gom had entertained any such hope his mind was quickly disabused, for Dr, Ford assured him that everv doctor is fully competent to make out his own bill, and that he was not collecting the olaims of his associates in the case. In reply to Attorney Herman Dr. Ford said he considered his bill very rea- sonable, under the circumstances, laying special stress on the word ‘“ecircum- stances.” Judge Coffey mused a mement over his inkwell and somewhat hesitatingly said: “I understand that you ought to charge in acrordance with the richness of the pa- tient. How much is this estate worth, anyhow?" | Mr. Van Reynegom said that the estates were worth each ahout $4000. Dr. Ford did not think this cutany figure, as the hecir to the estateis a lady who maintains a handsome establishment at Newport. Judge Coffey admitted that that might make a difference. A Newport establish- ment is a thing to be considered. He said he aid not like to cut down doctors’ bills, but thought it right to take a few days to think the matter over. \ AN EARLY BAY BATH. Ex-Assemblyman Joseph Marks Stum-= bles Off Clay-Sireet Wharf Yesterday Morning. Ex-Assemblyman Joseph Marks went dowa to the foot of Clay street yesterday morning at about 2:30 o’clock and took a |dip in the bay. He was seen by a boat- man, who, with the heip of two police of- ficers, fished the drowning man out of the chilling water. He was taken to the Re- ceiving Hospital and thawed out in a warm bed. He explained his presence on the wharf at such an unusnal hour by saying that he was searching fora friend and in the darkuess stumbled and fell overhoard. Marks appeared to be considerably rat- | tled and expiained his meutal derange- ment by stating that ever since he fell from a streetcar about a year ago, from which he received consideraple injury, his head is “not quite right.”” When seen at his residence yesterday atternoon he had not quite recovered from his plunge in the bay and seemed to be unable to recall much that happened pre- vious to his fall off the wharl. He denied, however, that he intended to commit sui- cide and adhered to his version of the ac- cident, Mr. Marks represented the Forty-third Assembly District in the Legisiature two years ago, and was quite active as a poli- tician. Since his streetc.r mishap, which laid him up for some time with an injured ankle, he has not been in any business, and it is thought that he had become de- | spondent over his misforiunes. BAD ORTHOGRAPHY, Careless Spelling in a Will Causes Much Trouble in the Probate Court. Samuel M. Shortridge appeared in Judge Coffey’s court yesterday afternoon in the matter of the estate of Joshua Hendy, It appearsd that certain legatees wished to borrow money to buy out and compromise with the other legatees. Mr. Shortridge stated that he represented a capitalist who was to advance the money for that purpose, “Have ion the money with you?’ asked Jud:e Coffey jocosely. “I have, your Honor,"” replied Mr, Short- ge, Mr. Shortridge explained that he had no interest in the matter further than that, and if the matter could be adjusted so that the court mifiht make & decree of partial distribution he was ready to hand overthe money. But the counsel on both sidesof the case could not agree as to the meaning of the will. Itdirected the distribution of *“one fifteth” of certain property, and as the spelling in the will was very bad, “‘aeby’’ being spelled *‘det,”” the court was not able to say whether the deceased meant “tone-fiftieth” or ‘‘one-tifth.”” The lawyers were also divided in opinion and the matter went over. ———— ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE, Organization of a Provisional Com- mittee—Its Object. The first meeting of the Anti-Saloon League of this locality was held in the Y. M. C. A. Hall yesterday afternoon. There were present representatives from many denominations and temperance organiza. tions. The organization of a provisional com- mittee was effected, said committee to consist of ten members from eaca co- operating church or other society. Rev. Dr, Calooun was made temporary chair- man and Rev. Robert Whitaker of East Oakland secretary. Another meeting of this organization wiil ve held on Monda; mber 7, at 2 r.» Itis hoped by the members that at this meeting there will be a good repre. sentation from all churches, temperance nizations or other societies which are in favor of the suppression of the saloon. The object of this mbvement is to secure the co-operation of all, of every name and faith, who believe that the liquor traffic ought not to be legalized. TLe organiza- tion is entirely non-partisan, and seeks only to secure such legisiation as will give every voter a chance at every election to vote for or against the saloon irrespective of how he may vote on any other question, ————————— Tickets for Archbishop Riordan’s Lec- ture.

An Average of Three Miles an Hour for Seventeen Con- secutive Hours, In Fine Form When He Reached the Hotel V.n'ome at 11 o'Clock Last Night. On the minute of 6 A. M. yesterday Wil- liam Greer Harrison started from Tenth and Howard streets on his tramp to San Jose. He fixed the pace at four miles an hour and easily maintained that speed to Ban Mateo, twenty miles away. Mr. Harrison’s 1dea of walking fifty miles on his sixtieth birthday was to demonstrate that a man who has had proper athletic training between the years of 16 and 20 should possess at_the age of 60 the endurance of youth. He told his fri nds at the Bohemian Club that he expected to finish the fiftieth mile within thirteen hours alter starting, but assured th m that he would not punish himsslf to make thistime. He said he would rest if he became weary, but would not rest lone enough to allow his | muscles to stiffen. Men who are quite familiar with Mr. Harrison know that he is spirited snd plucky. Heis the sort of a man who woula endure the greaiest fatigue rather tian admit the word “fail” to his lexicon. His arrival at San Jose at 9 o'clock was expected at the Bohemian Clab, so when the hour of 10 came withoutany announce- ment from the Garden City of the pedes- triap’s advent some uneasiness was mani- fested. Anhour later a messaze came to the club by telephone that Harrison had just arrived at the Hotel Vendome in fine condition. According to programme he took a bath and went to bog Making allowance for stops it can easily be reckoned that the pedestrian of three score avera-ed three miles per hour for seventeen consecutive hours. The Hotel Vendome, San Jose, is exactly fifty miles from Tenth und Howard streets, San Fran- cisco. Mr. Harrison had a perfect day for his jaunt. The sky was cloudless, the air cool and braciu: e LOST HIS WAY. Harrison Ended His W:lk in Santa Clara and Reached San Jose on the Cars. SAN JOSE, CaL, Nov. 27— William Greer Harrison reached the Hotel Ven- dome to-night at 11:57, pearly four hours behind the time in Avhich he hoped to arrive here, but his delinquency was due not to a miscaloulation of his abilities 8s a pedestrian but to the fact that about eight miles from this city the party lost its way in the darkness and made a detour which added about eight miles to the journey. Instead of completing the half-century in this city, therefore, as planned, the walk was terminated at Santa Ciara, three miles distant, The trip bere from Santa Clara was made by electric-car. Mr, Harrison claims he made the fifty miles in thirteen hours, one hour less than was anticipated. Mr. Harrison showe? little signs of fatigue after his long trio, and was cer- tainly no worse for his walk than wers his three companions, who were all young and hearty athletes. He chatted merrily of his experiences en route, and ex- pressed himself as thoroughly eatisfied with the exposition he had made of what a long life of correct habits and athletic training could accomplish. He promises to make the trip again, and the next time he declares he will accomplish the feat in tweive hours actual walking time. Next time he says he will do a little aciive training before undertaking the walk, Expliett. *“What you want to do,” said the old politician to the young man who bad vol- unteered to do missionary work among the voters in a remote section of the coun- try, “is to make yourself personall popu- lar. 1f you can make peopie like youn they’re almost sure to vote your wa; You mean I suppose so. at i unaffected style of o I am to u: words aud put my arguments into homel; phrase whe’r’enr it is Joulbla 10 do so. { am to sedulously avoid anything, either in the matter of my discourse or in the man- ner of its delivery, which may be beyond the comprehension of my audience, or which may possibly create a prejudice against me, becanse ‘in_the opinion of my audience it savors of affectation.” The old-time politician dropped into his chair snd looked weary. “No,” he said, emphatically, *‘that is not it at all.” “Have I misunderstood your instruc. tions?” “You bave.

Finally Deserted Here, as He Supposed, H: Took Aconite, By Great Effort His Life Was Saved and Now Friends Are Trying to Halp Him. A subscription is being raised at the Brooklyn Hotel in aid ot John Irwin, the blind miner who, throuzh discouragement at the loss of his sight and the impending danger of being deserted by all who knew him, attempted to take his life by aconite a few days ago. The total amount subscribed, however, is as yet but $30. The money is to pay the expenses ot the un- fortunate miner at one of the hospitals, while Dr. Powers, the oculist, is treating his eyes. Dr. Powers thinks there is a faint chance for Irwin to recover his sight, at least partially, in [one eye, and accordingly the oculist will begin treating him. He has agreed to do so, t0o, without cost. Mr. Irwin is at present at the Salvation Army barracks, 120 Oregon street. The army people are looking after him and doing all they can for him. The story of Mr, Irwin’s misfortunes is a athetic one. He s but 35 yearsold and isa r handsome man. He arrived here last spring from near Lovelock, Nev., where be had been working in a nickel mine. There had been an explosion in the mine, and it was in this t he lost his sight. Clerk F. B. Middlecoff ot the Brooklyn yes terday toid about the hard fate of Irwin. “He was worllnf in & nickel mine owned by the Nevada Nickel Mining Company aud situ- ated about twenty miies from Lovelock,” said Mr. Middlecoff hen this explosion occurred. “Tne injury sustained was very great. Mr. Irwin, whose eyes had been desiroved, was left twenty-three days before he received at- tention. “Then some Lovelock people heard of him and went up and brought him down. They and the people connected with the mine brought him to the American Exchange Hotel. He remained there till they gt read 1o lear the botel down and then he came to the Brookiyn to live. He arrived on_August 14 and from that time 10 November 17, when we missed him, his bill-amounted to between $80 aad ). “We had not presented a bill to him, butin some way he heard that the peop.e counected with the mine had gone back on him and re- fused to give him any aid. He Jooked upon himself as an outcast, blind and helpiess, so he got a young lellow he knew to buy some aconite at Wakelee's drugstore. “When he got this he went to his room, took the poison and lay down on the bed to die, The chambermeid went to his room, but cou.d not get in. Finally, afier reveral atiempts, she came to me. It was about 4 o’clock in the afternoon. I went up to the room ana found the door locked so.idly, but by the aidota boy I opened tne transom and finally gotthe door open. “Irwin was in a bad fix, but Igot a doctor, and after a while he brought him around. Since then the Sa.vation Army has taken him in charge. We arg uow trying to get enough money to pay his expenses at the hos;ital while Dr. Powers_treats his eyes. The doctor has hopes that he can save thesight of one eye, or at least a littieof it. Irwin isa fine oung man and was well iked here. earned to go upstairs to his room and get about without any heip, but the leeling that he had lost his sight forever and was deserted by all was 100 much for him."” LA LOIE FULLER RECEIVES She Meets Her Friends on the Stage of the California Theater Amid EKoses.

An Attractive Evening of Sport by the Members of an Enterprising Club. There was a large attendance at the monthly boxing exhibition of the Columbia Athletic Club at their clubroom at 1108 Golden Gate avenue last night. The event of the evening was to have been a four-round “go” between J. McCormick and J, Hennessey.

On the night before Thanksgiving the people of the club were treated to an entertainment that was not expec ed and which was not received with welcome. They were deluged with water from above, and now they are cleaning and renovating and preparineg to ‘calei- mine and paint anew and get a8 new carpet and billiard cloths. A thoughtless guest on the half floor of the Palace, just avove this part of the club, went to sleep on the evening in ques- iion leaving the water running in his bathtub. Itissaid that the luckless per- son was the famous White Hat McCarty. ‘Whoever it was the room was wet down in good shape with nearly all the heredita- monts and appurtenances thereunto appers tamning. As Secretary Pippy took a look at it yesterday he said that the whole room would have to be fixed up. “The carpet was ruined,” he said, “and a whole lot of things were wet down in such a way that they were spoiled and will bave to be replaced. Besides this the ceiling and walls are soaked with water so that, as the contractors say, they will have to be plastered and kalsomined anew. It will cost $200 or $300 at least, I suppose, to fitit up again. Who will foot the bill? Why, the hotel. It's funny how this guest forgot himself and let the water pour over in this way."” The carpet has been torn away, the various pieces of furniture carried to another part of the clubrooms, and prep- arations are being made to thoroughly re- pair the damages. AT THE CHUTES. Hundreds of Children Enjoy the Mani- fold Attract ons, The Haight-street grounds were simply packed with children Thursday afternoon, over 14,000 enjoying themselves by invita- tion of the management. There were delegations from the Boys' and Girts’ High Schools, grammer, primary and night schools, parochial schools, Chinese missions, and in fact from every educa- iional institution 1n the City. “Arion” on his high wire and Pirri on his wonderful coast down the chutes on his bicycle were duly enjoyed, but Emil Markeberg’s balloon ascension was what they wanted. Great difficulty was experi- enced in filing the big air bag, so tre- mendous was the crowd surging around, but at half-past four off he went with 10, - 000 yells from 10,000 throats. He landed safely near Market and Sixteenth streets with his parachute. The children caused the management no trouble and not a single accident took place. Yesierday afternoon there was a repeti- tion of the Thanksgiving day scene, over 10,000 children being in atiendance. A tremendous crush is expected this after- noon, as 1tis the lasi day on which the 50,006 tickets s=nt out will hold good. R L Father Yorke o Lecture. Rev. Peter C.

A STRCKG 15DORS” MENT, From the Democrat, Atlanta, This is to certify that my wife and son suf- fered from dropsy—my wiie afflicted tor six years and my son for two yars. During that time I resoried to every remedy known to the medical profession in this section of the coun- try. In my great anxiety and desire to allevi- ate their uffering I consulted two eminent doctors in New York, and after several months’ treatment I could diseover uo visible improve- men’, not saying anything for their recovery. While in Jefferson, Tex., some two years sirce I happened to mention the condition of my wife and son to & leading physician and druggist. He ndvised me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale P-ople. After considerabie persuasion I reluctantly cons-hted to dov so. At first I bought two packages and by the time one package hed Leen taken I saw a marked change for the better. I continued the use of them until twenty packages or boxes had been taken, when to my surprise and great joy my wife and son had fully recov- ered and are to-day in fine heaith. Too much cannot be said in commendation of Dr. Willams’ Pink Pills. They are cer- uinlly a great boon to suffering humanity, and I take great pleasure 1u offeriug this testi- monial. Inconnection with this I will state that two of our leading physicians treated my wife and son. (Signed.) JoEN MILLER. STATE OF TEXAS, ss. COUNTY OF LAsS.
