Why do you go on from | day to day realizing that you are losing your nerve force, your | manhood, when you see a cure within your grasp ? Reach for i, | INSANE WITH A QUARTER MILLION Fred Riener’s Good Fortune \Led to His Mental Derangement. Ida Blythe Testified That the Young Man Was Drunk for Two Months. He Is Adjudged Dangerous to Be at Large and Must Have a Guar- dian Appointed. Fred Riener, the young man who re- cently fell heir to $250,000 by the death of his mother in Germany, and who has since been spending his money too freely in the tenderloin districts of San Fran- cisco and Sausalito, was taken before the Commissioners of Lunacy to be examined as to his mental condition yesterday morn- ng. Riener does not appear to be over 25 vears of age. He is very red of face, and his personal appearance betokens a man who is suffering from some severe mental sirain. His frame is attenuated and his bands, though large and muscular look- ing, twitch constantly in a nervous way. He took with bim into the courtroom a tin box containing a number of private papers and other personal effects. He opened the box and arranged his things on the table in front of him, but was pre- vailed on to put them away until the trial was over. Upon taking his seat before the Com- missioners Riener’s first act was to direct the bailiff to lower the window curtain, re- warking that the light burt his eyes. lda Blgthe, the young woman with whom Riener has been associated for a couple of months, testified that she was present when he signed the remarkab'e | contract by which he agreed to supply ner with means for traveling, board and lodg- | iniz and clothing in consideration of her promise to live with him: and not to asso- ciate with any other person. She thought take it to your heart and feel the life blood flowing, jumping, | dancing through your veins; feel the exhilarating spark of| manly power warm you frame, the bright flash come to your | eve and the firm grip to your hand—the grip which clasps your‘1 fellow-man and tells him that you have found your Mecca—you | have regained your manhood. Act to-day ; do not delay a mat- ter which is the key to your future happiness; do not allow a| disease to destroy all possibility of future pleasure for you. Whatever your condition to-day you will notimprove as you grow older. Age calls for greater vital force, and the older you get the more pronounced and apparent will be your weakness; so cure it now—cure it while you are young. The time is ripe. While the vital spark is still warm it can easily be fanned to flame by Electricity, and Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt will make you strong | if you try it now. it Cured These Men: : S 3, Cal., Dec. 8, 1896. DR. A. T. SANDEN—Dear Bir: Three years ag s taken suddenly with a nervous affectior er portion of my spine between my shoulders. I feit a cold chill run dow , and since then I have had a continual pain. I have taken a great deal of medicine for my trouble, but found nothing that would relieve my pain until I got your belt.

At the time I hought your beit I was so nervous ot do any work without feeling perfectly exhausted. I had < debility from excessive drinking and other excesses. ] was on my last legs. My powers were all gone and I was satisfied that Iwasa I had spent over $300 for medicines without the slightest benetit, when I dvised to get your Belt. I faltan improvement as soon as I commenced to wear 1 continued steadily improving until I now feel as strong as I ever did in my life.

I purchased a strong-power Beit from Dr. Sanden about the ist of April. w, 1 1 used according to directions, and after three montbs I am happy to state that my varicocele, which was of twelve years’ standing, is almost entirely disappeared, the veins being almost normal. I take great pleasure in recommending the fielt to any ons suffering from_ varicocele.” W. E. JOHNS, 1139 Market street, San Francisco. I am feeling fine; the losses are all stopped, and I nnvu‘gzined eleven pounds in twenty-eight days,” writes J. L. Tibergnein, Angels Camp, Cal, September 10, 1896. And It Will Cure You. No man can appreciate the depth of this subject who does not study it. No one knows wherein he is weak unless he com- pares his condition with another ; no one knows the means of curing unless some one tells him. Five hundred grateful men describe their cure by Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt for your benefit in the little book, “Three Classes of Men,” which will be sent sealed, free, by mail. It is full of plain, honest statements from men who have laid aside all scruples of delicacy to tell their fellow-men what happiness has been brought to them by this famous Electric Belt. If you are not sure that you need it you | can be examined by Dr. Sanden iree of charge and he will advise vou. He charges for nothing but the belt, which is within the reach of every sufferer. This is a. prize which no weak man should deny himseli—health and happiness. Read the book, free. SANDEN ELBCTRIC CO., 632 MARKET ST., OPPOSITE PALACE HOTEL, SAN FRANCISCO. Office hours—8 A.

The imitation Dres- den work, with the treatment of reds and greens, showed clever handling. There were many other exhibits, each of which had its characteristic value. Mrs. 8. V. Cmip and Mrs. M. E. Perley of this City exhibited a large vase in the Grecian style, on which was beautifully portrayed THE KERAMIC SHOW. It Will Last Only To-Day and Then the | Handsome Posters Will Be Sold. There was a large attendance of people at the Keramic Exhibition yesterday in the marble-room of the Palace. The ex- hibitislarge and the specimens of keramic in many cases very fine. To-day wi!l be the last day of the show, and to-night the | artistic posters which have advertised the | exhibit will be put up for sale. Among the fine keramic work shown was a jardiniere, by Miss Nettie Sinuott. It was exquisitely decorated with repre- sentations of La France, Marechal Niel and other roses, and was very beautiful. | There was also a handsome fernery dish, decorated with ferns, green tintings and | gold by the same lady. Miss Lillian Rich- | ardson bad a large banquet lamp, in acorns, with cream “tintings and gold, a tankard pitcher in ivy ieaves and forget- | menots. They were both very beautifuliy done. Miss Sinnott and Miss Richardson each had a blackberry bowl also, with blackberries and the leaves of the bush artistically portrayed. There were only a few of these exbibits. Mrs. Murphy of San Jose exhibited |'a young men with an enormous bunch of flowers which he was bestowing on a beau- tiful giri. The vase was -brought from Europe and decorated. There was a unigue tobacco jar in paste and etched gold and a ‘able in pink and a lamp in red roses, both of which were noteworthy. —————— Fox Against Hale & Norcross. A petition’ has been _filed in the Supreme Court by W. T. Baggett, counsel for M. W. Fox in a suit against the Hale & Norcross Mining Company, asking that the uppeal from the second decision by Judge Hebbard may be ad- vanced on the calenaar, io bring it up for hearing at the term which begins nextmonth. The court hnd instructed o piace nothing on the January calendar which was filed later than September 1. e At Sutro’s Baths. Sharkey will box four rounds with Austra- lian Billy Smith at Sutre’s Baths next Sunday, at the opening of the international tug-of-war. he was drunk when he signed the paper. ‘Since you have known Riener has he had any intervals of sobriety?” asked Judge Hebbard. “I think not,”” repliea the witness frankly. Miss Blythe said that Riener drew a pistol and threatened to shoot her because he thought she was mocking him. He made some remark in broken German- English, and when she repeated it he be- came very angry and declared he would kill her. Viola le Page, a friend of Miss Blythe's, corroborated the statement that Riener bad been intoxicated for two months, He had acted strangely and had threat ened to kill them. On one occasion he put a pistol to the head of the witness and threatened to shoot her, but she escaped. Miss le Page admitied that she had seen Riener spend considerabie money, but she couldn’t say how much. It was not $200 a day. The last time he threatened | to kill the witness was the day before Thanksgiving day. Commissioner Lustig gave it as his opin- | ion that Riener isa dangerous person to te at large, whereupon Judge Hebbard said it would be his duty to commit the ! patient to a publicinsane asylum, uniess some of his friends shoula be willing to bind themselves to care for him in a private sanitarium or in a home for in- ebriates. Charles Zinkand was the only friend who volunteered a suggestion. He said the mar. appeared better and that he ex- vected to start for Europe in a few days, so he thought it might be safe to allow him a chance to go. Dr. Lustig gave it as_his opinion thdj it would be dangerous to the patient and the public to let him go without restraint; | that he is suffering from the beginning of paralysis, and would not be able to go to Eurove alone. He might become violent or altogether demented at any moment. He said he had learned trat before Reiner’s sudden access to affluence he had been a man of frugal habits and was | economical to the verge of parsimony. Good fortune seemed to have turned his head. Judge Hebbard said he deemed it his duty to send Riener to an asylum and ac- cordingly signed an order committing nim to Ukiah. The court announced that if at any time the patient’s friends de- cided to apply for guardianchip they could do =0, and if his interests required he could be taken to Germany, where the bulk of his estate is located.

It Will Meet To-Day and May Start to ¥ix Kreight and Fare Rates. The Railroad Commissioners will hold a meeting this, afternoon, the first since the recent decision affecting its status was rendered. “I cannot say what wiil be done at the meeting in regard to the decision,” said, Commissioner Stanton yesterday, “as I have not had.any talk with any of the otuer Commissioners. It will probably be discussed and possibly some action may be taken as to whether or not an appeal will be taken. some novel work of the first-named lady He says he will show how Fitzsimmons knocked him out. *“Now that the status of thé\gommission has been legally detined it is likely that we will start 1n and fix ratesof freights and fares. Heretofore the commission was unable to do anything because of that injunction, but now that it is free to act it will no doubt act.” e SEVERAT VIOLENT DEATES, Ethel Kane Killed by Bad Meat, Bad milk. Coroner Hawkins held four inquests yes- terday to officiaily determine the causesof four cases of death by violence. That of little Ethel Kane of 147 Tehama street was the most interesting. The child was only 5 years of age and she came to her death on November 29 fromn what was supposed then to be poison producea by the im- proper preparation of condensed or'eanned milk. However, a careful analysis of the milk and even the tea consumed by the family showed both to be of the purest quality. The child’s father became ill at the seme time, buy he recovered. After considering all the evidence, the Coroner’s jury came to the conciusion that littie Ethel diea of ptomaine poisoning, that her aeath was accidental ana caused by eating decomposed animal or vegetable matter. On December 1 Fillipo Cadallano, an Italian crab catcher, was drowned off Lands End, his boat having been over- turned in the breakers. A verdict of acci- dental death was returned. A few days ago Foong Ah Get, who was arrested for murdering one of his country- men, committed suicide in the City Prison by hanging himself. A verdict in accordance with the facis was returned. Jouin Devlin, a laundryman living at 121 Fourteenth street, while cleaning his revolver on the 4th insi., shot himself in the lung and bled to death. A verdict of accidental death wasreturned by the jury. On November 28, an unknown man was found in Golden Gate Park suffering from morphine poitoning. He was sent to the Receiving Hospital, where he died. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with these facts. SCHOOLS OT T0 BLAME The Spread of Diphtheria At- tributed to a Pond of * Stagnant Water. Not Six New Cases, Spread Over a Wide Area, Riported at the Health Office Yesterday. Dr. Fitzgibbon of the Board of Health has concluded that the vdults of public schools are not altogether responsible for the spread of diphtheria in the Mission. He told the board at its meeting yester- day that he had found a pond of stagnant water near the corner of Seventeenth and Temple streets and attributéd several deaths that bad occurred in the neighbor- hood to its evil influences. He asked that the owner of the properiy be required to abate the nuisance at once. He stated that he had heard that some of the houses had no patent vaults and that ther: Lad been some five or six deaths within 250 feet of the pond, He | had been called during the morning, he said, to see tkree children suffering from diphtheria in this neighborhood. Health Inspector Duren said that he had endeavored to locate the owner of this pmrerty. but was unable to find him. The Mayor asked that a more thorough search be instituted for the owner and the man giverf time to abate the nuisance. Dr. Fitzgibbon moved that a notice be sent to the owner, and if the nuisance was not abated within forty-eight hours the property should be condemned without further action of the board. This action was taken. That the vaults of the schools accused of spreading the disease are not entirely responsible for the mischief is shown by the wide area over which yesterday’s cases were distributed. There were six new cases reported as follows: 501 Harn- son street, Ninth avénue and K street, 2307 Broadway and three cases at 38 Ser- pentine avenue, None of these can be traced directly to the thrze public schools that the Boazd of Health attempted unsuccessfully to ciose. ——————— A PASSING OPPORTUNITY. Final Announcement Regarding Those Special Encyclopmdic Dictionaries. A few days ago the Pacific Coast News- paper Syndicate began a distribution of a number of slightly marred sets,which had accumulated in packing, unpacking and handling the many thousands of volumes which were some time since distributed to readers to introduce the work. The covers on one or more of these special sets were rubbed a little—so little, indeed, that few purchasers at the regular price of $42 to §70 a set would have any cause for complaint. As a matter of fact, these special sets are just asgood as new for all practical purposes, and would compare favorably with any absolutely perfect $42to $70 set that had seen afew days’' use in home, library or office. The price which the syndicate has ar- ranged for one of these special sets is surely attractive to any one earnestly de- | siring to own a strictly high-grade refer- ence work at a frifling cost. The four voiumes will be sent to any ad- dress on payment of §1, and if on exami- nation they are not as represented, they can be returned and the money will be re- funded. If satisfactory, the small bal- ance is payable in easy monthly amounts. This is’ certainly a rare opportunity, especially for those who may have thought the former low introductory price even too high for their means. The value of the work, both as a dic- tionary and an encyclopedia, is most thoroughlyappreciated by readers,and they are besiezing Syndicate headquarters at 14 Sansome street 1o secure the sets. THE OHILDS MURDER. John Miller Held to Answer Before the Superior Court. John Miller, the carpenter who shot and killed James H. Childs on Clementina street last month, was yesterday held to answer before the Superior Court by Judge Joachimsen on the charge of murder. Miller had been living with a divorced ; woman' named Ryan and she left him. On the afternoon of the murder he went to a house on Clementina street in search of ber. She ran into the street followed by Miller, who fired several shotsat her, missing her. She ran into the house oc- cupied by the Childs family and James ‘B;lvpled with Miller, who ahot and killed him, ——————— Had Plenty of Money. Emma Holzberger, a little old woman who lives on the San Bruno road, was crossing Howard and Eighth streets yesterday after- noon when she was knocked down by & horse driven by F. F. McKenzie, an agent for a tea house. She was taken to the Receiving Hos- pital, where it was found that her right shoul- | der was dislocated. After having itattended to she asked the steward for 5 cents for car- fare to get home. Then -h“pnlaned t0 re- main in the haspital, and in her pockets she had over $70.

Aptorney Clunie Presents a Demurrer for the Milk Inspector. Siys the Only Relief in a Charge of This Kind Is an Appeal to the Board of Health. Milk Inspector James P. Dockery ap- peared in Judre Hunt’s court wearinga blue flannel sbirt with a tall coliar like that of a fashionable woman’s cloak. It was expected that Mr. Dockery would at once demand a full investigation of the charges made by Ruhland & Zim= merman that Mr. Dockery and Market In- spector Bob Davis had attempted to levy blackmail, but he permitted his® attorney, A. J. Clunie, to file a demurrer to the com- plaint. The specific accusation is that several weeks ago Dockery and Davis approached 4 member of the rirm of Ruhiand & Zim- merman, who are engaged 1n the dairying business, and offered for $600 to have a pretended examination of their cows made with the purpose of procuring a fraudulent certificate that said cows are healthy. Be- cause of this alleged attempt to levy biack- mail the azcusers assert that Dockery unfit 10 hold the oftice of Mik Inspector, and application was accordingly made to have bim ousted trom office. An amend- ment to the original case was also offered, giving as a furiner reason for removing nim that his intemperate habits unfit him for the performance of his duti Mr. Clunie began his opposition to the complaint by serviug a copy of his demur- rer on Attorney M. M. Estee, who repre- sented the complaining witness. The demurrer swated that the proceedings against Dockery were not legal, the princi- pal point being that the comnplaint was framed under section 772 of the Penal Code, which section does not say anything aboui’ ousting a man from office for al: leged blackmail. ‘The section was read, and it was pointed out that it says proceedings to deprive a man of his office may be had for coltecting illegal fees or for neglect of duty, but for no other reasons. There is no allegation in the complaint, Mr. Clunie said, to show tnat Dogkery had collected any illegal fees or that he had neglected his duties. The charge issimply blackmail, and, that ought to be tried in nn%zher way. In addition to this pomt Mr. Clunie read from the statutes and the code to establish his contention that Dockery is not and never has been a public officer within the meaning of the law; that he is really a mere employe of the Board of Health, with no fixed term or tenure, and holds his place entirely at the pleasure of that board. This being the case, Mr. Clunie argued that application for Dock- ery's dismissal must be made only to the Board of Heaitb. If Dockery had been guilty of criminal acts he could be indict- ed by the Grand Jury. Supreme Conrtd:cisions in the cases of Park Commissioner Stowe and Assessor Siebe were cited to establish this view or the case, and Mr. Clunie said that the highest tribunal of the State had given an interpretation of the 1mtention of the Leg- isiature, and he thought it was never the intention of the Legislature to have an employe of a county officer or a public board dragged into court every time there was a dispute with any citizen or outside party. If such a rule as that were al- iowed any police officer on the forca might be called into court to answer charges of misconduct., The Supreme Court of New York decided that the Police Commission- ers were the proper persons to take cog- nizance of all such affairs relating to the employes of the Police Department—that the courts had no jurisdiction of such matters. Tonuching the allegation of drunkenness in office, Mr. Clunie demurred 10 that charge on the ground that the statute of 1880, which appears in Deering’s Pepal code under section 77, removes the ques- tion of drunkenness from the purview of section 772 of the Penal Code. Besides, the statute of 1880 relates only to City and County officers, and Dockery being merely an employe of the Board of Health, and not a pubtic officer in the contemplation of the law, cannot be proceeded against in this way. A spirited discussion took place between the lawyers with regard to which side was asking for delay, and it was finally con- ceded that both parties to tho suit were willing to proceed as soon as convenient. Mr. Estee informed the court that he desired a few days to examine the authori- ties presented by Mr. Clunie, and the case was continued until next Monday after- noon at 2 o’clock. Rocking cradles for babies were used by the Egyptians many centuries before Christ. Among the pictures copied by Belzoni is one of an Egyptian mother at work with her foot on the cradle. XNEW TO-DAY.
