THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JANUARY 10, 18917. 9 THE FIRST LOSES TS COMMANDER: Colonel William Macdonald| Tenders His Resignation to Gen. Warfield. Hs Says That Business Will Not Permit Him to Attend to the Command. Speculation as to Who Will Succeed the Rotiring Oificer—One Who Is in the Line of Promotion. Colonel William Macdonald, command- ing the First Infantry, Second Brigade, | N. G. 0., has tired of military life and | yesterday morning sent his resignation to | Brigadier-General R. H. Warfield, who in turn will transmit it to Commander-in- Chief James H. Budd, when it will be acted upon, and no doubt it will be ac- cepted, as the colonel has for some time | contemplated the action taken, assigning that his business engagements would not permit him to give to the command the time required. For some time past 1t had been known by the officers of the guard that the colonel intended to retire, but the matter was kepta “dead secret” until yesterday morning, when the fact became known, and no sooner was it made known than the talk turned upon who will be his pos- | sible successor. The brigadier - general, when asked the matter, adopted the Yankee od of meeting a question by ssking | W7 Colonel William Macdonald. mnother, saying, *Has he resigned?” Being assured that such was a fact, he then asked, “What in Halifax did he nt to resign for?” but not receiving an | ver, he remarked that as the resigna- | n had been sent in, Lieutenant-Colonel | Victor D. Duboce is, by reason of his rank, | in line of promotion, and then added that | there is no telling who will be the man to | command tne First Infantry. | Colonel Macdonald, who is manager of | a prominent insurance company of this an City, has been connected with the Na- | tional Guard of this State since 1878. The record of his service is as follows: .Pri- ond Infantry (artil- corporal Company ¥, cond A ovember 3, 1880; cap- and Second Brigade, November 23, 1880, to January 31, 1882; vate of Light Battery A, Second Artil® ery, February 1, 1882;" corporal Battery A, Second Artillery, May 1, 1852; second lientenant Battery A, June 26, 1882; first ant Battery A, Second Artillery, bruary ond Artillery, October 20, 18 colonel of the Second Artillery, May 23,'1889. This last-named position he held until the re- cent reorganization of the guard, and on th colonel of Brigade. In the several positions in the guard filled by Colonel Macdonald he aiways proved a conscientious man, whether in the ranks or in command, and as an offi- cer he won tne esieem of nearly every man of his command and of his superiors. | Should Lieutenant-Colonel Duboce suc- | ceed {0 the command of the regiment it 1s likely that Major Charles Buxton, whose | connection with the guard dates from April 4, 1834, when he joined as a private of Batlery C, Second Artillery, will be promoted to the lieutenant-colonelcy, but that is only the talk of the street. as there are others who would like to wear the silver leaves on their shoulder-straps. Colonel Macdonald in a communication to the lieutenant-colonel, in which he an- | nounced his determination to part with | his command, pays him a high comp.‘)»i ment for the manner he controlled the | aftairs of the First when he wasin tem- | porary command. For several days prior | to yesterday Colonel Macdonald spent many hours in the office of the adjutant- | general at Sacramento.

The Rideout Contest in the Trist Club Watched by Many Piayers. Officers of the Pacific Whist Assc- ciation Elected to Serve for the Ensuing Year. The third annual convention and tour- nament of the Pacific Coast Whist Asso- ciation concluded late last night, after two whole days at the tables in the Trist Duplicate Whist Club and the San Fran- cisco Whist Club. In the morning Frank H. Atwater, H. H. Hotaling and I. G. Hahman, com- prising the nominating commuttee, re- ported their selections for officers and di- rectors of the association for the ensuing year. The recommendation was adopted as follows: President, P. J. Tormey, Trist Duplicate Whist Ciub; vice-president, D. W. Harrier, Vallejo Whist Club; treasurer, R. B. Calley, Linda Vista Whist Club; recording secretary, H. H. Hotaling, San Francisco Whist Club; corresponding secretary, Mrs. F. H. Atwater, | Petaluma Whist Club; directors—George M.

D. Eoy, Oakland Whist | Club; Frank Jaynes, San_ Francijeo Whist | Clubi E. C. Humphrey, Commuters’ Whist Club. The association decided to allow the club winning the Rideout trophy to hold it only for thirty days without cgulenga, instead of three months as formerly. Early in the day the tie in the contest | of club teams of four at the San Francisco | Whist Club was played between the Trist and the Ban Francisco teams. The latter team, consisting of Messrs.

Her Rudder Broken, and Water Getting Into the Hold Ail Hope Seemed Gone. The American bark Fresno from Kobe, Japan, for Puget Sound in bailast, bad & terrible time of it during the thirty-five days’ run and was compelled to put in here yesterday in distress for repairs. She was caught in a typhoon and carried away the foreyard, topsailyard, and port rail. Almost all the sails were. blown from the bolt ropes and the rudder gudgeon carried away, leaving the vessel side of the hatches. Everybody on boara thought the vessel was going down and many of the crew said their last prayer on earth. The water began to lsak through the strained deck into the hold and the Fresno began tosetile. The master warned the crew that they had not fifteen minutes to live and all gave up hope. There was a momentary change in the weather and the gale struck the bark from a fresh quar- | After | ter and put her on an even keel some clever maneuvering she was got be- fore the wind, unmanageable, but still a | safer refuge than she had been ten minutes before. When the lull came the men went to work 1o rig a jury rudder. spanker boom was peing prepared a flash of lightning shivered the mainyard and several of the men bad a narrow escape. After many difficuities the jury rudder was finally fixed, and the Fresno worked her way through a succession of gales to San Francisen. After striking the typhoon on December 12 she leaked continuously an inch an hour, and every day the men | had to take a trick at the pumps in order | to keep her clear. “I have been thirty years at sea Captain Underwood _yesterday, * never ran into anything in the shape of a that typhoon in The will of J.

Bail after sail was blown away, the decks were full of water and everything movable was dashing from side to side, making it _dangerous for the men to move around. The cabin and fore- castle were flooded, and when the vessel went on her beam ends I thought our last hour had come. 1 never expected that the vessel would last fifteen minutes, but just in the nick of time there was a change and I was able to get her before the wind. *With a disabled rudder and the bark leaking, we were in a predicament. I ordered the men to unship the spanker boom, and while they were doing that I had the carpenter fix up some heavy tim- ters in the shape of a fan. It was the upper zudgeon (the metal eye'or socket attached to the sternpost to receive the pintle of the rudder), so to the upper part of the rudder I fixed the fan and then | connected it with the spanker boom by means of ropes and puileys. The boom had in the meantime been securely fas- tened to the deck and the fan fastened as tightly to the bull as the circumstances would allow. It was while this work was being done that the lightning shivered our mainyard into splinters. “With this contrivance I found we could steer fairly well in comparatively rough weather, but when the blow was a hard one we had to run before it, as the rudder threatened at times to tear the stern out of the ship.

THREATENED SUIOIDE. Mrs. Bueter Made a Scene in Secretary | Welch’s Office. ; An undersized, rather uninteresting- looking Gesman woman went into the | office of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children iate Friday afternoon and sat some time waiting her turn to be heard. She had with her two little chil- dren, whose cheeks were as red as roses and who seemed to be the embodiment of lusty good heslth and prime animal spir- its. They were full of fun and vlayed | about the rooms with the usual vitality of | healthy children, 2 | When the mother of the children had | | { | | | | | her tura to talk with Secretary Welch she made known her name and business.

HELD UP AHD. RGBBED William T. Garms, the Brewer, Loses His Gold Watch and Chain. He Was on His Way Home in a Hack From the Schu: tzen Verein Ball. William T. Garms, vice-president of the Milwaukee Brewery, was the central figure in an adventure early Friday morn- ing, and he has enjoined all his friends to say nothing about it on pain of forfeiting his friendship forever. | He is a promianent member of the San | Francisco Schuetzen Verein and attended the annual ball of the society at Califor- nia Hall, Bush street, Thursday night. He is a favorite with the other members, and as usual he spent his money liberally and his name was on everybody’s lips. He lives at 403 Eleventh street, and in the early hours of the mornirg he started for home in a hack. When the driver reached Market and Eleventh streets a man hailed the driver and asked him to stop. “What do you want?"” asked the driver, as he pulled up. “Iwant to speak to Garms,” said the man, as he advanced to the hack. The man opened the door, and before Garms had time to ask what hé wanted the man grabbed hold of his chain and jerked his gold watch out of his pocket, disappearing with the watch and chain. Before Garms had recovered from his astonishment and notified the driver the thief was nowhere to be seen, ana Garms gave the order to drive home. Yesterday he baught a new gold watch and chain for $150, and it was in trying to explain to his iriends why he had occasion 10 make the new purchase that the story leaked out. Garms is under the impression that me one at the ball, not a member of the society, had seen him spending his money freely and knowing where he lived had watched for him with the intention of robbing him. % —————— For business men or country merchants ce of the Associated Charities, to | She also izied to escape from | kill her children and hersell rather than | the Russ House is the best place in 8, F.* | | taling, Abrams and Haley, won in & play | of six deals by one trick, and carried off | the four silver-mounted loving cups offered | | by tue club as rizes. | | In the afternoon at the San Francisco | Whist Club an interesting contest took place.

They are usually of an insidious nature. Hence they silently steal upon you, and have you bound captive before you arereally aware of your condition. The Hleart is the grand vital organ of the human sys- tem. When disordered or diseased it is usually subject to irregular, weak or violent pal pitation, valvular lesions, short- ness of breath, aches or rheumatic pains. Any of these or similar symptoms imperil life, and when once manifested the warning alarm has been sounded. The L.umgs are all-important, and when unsound the asthma or hemorrhages, which are forerunners of pulmonary consum ption. The Liver and Stomach are health barometers. By them, more than by any other organs, the state of the general health may be determined. If you have constipation, headuches, dizziness, bilionsness, coated tongue, yellow skin, of appetite, dyspepsia, heartburn, dropsy or fullness after eat- | ing you may be sure that your liver and stomach are in a diseased condition. The BKidmeys are often afflicted with inflammation, congestion, diabeies or Bright’s disease, which are among the most dangerous maladies that human flesh is heir to. The Bladder and Urinary organs are closely allied, and when one is ailing the others are very apt to be. Cystitis, catarrhal inflammation, gall stones, stricture, muscular paralysis, inability to retain urine, frequent, painful | urination, or the passing of milky or bloody urine are the usual In the treatment of all these internal diseases of the Heart, Lungs, Liver, Stomach, Kidneys, Bladder and Urinary organs, DOCTOR COOK has proven himself to be beyond the shadow of & question the leading and most successful specialist in the United States to-day. ————— CHRONIC Few diseases are to be more dreaded than Catarrh.

Itbrings on frequent headaches. It produces soreness of the throat, irrita- tion of the bronchial tubes, dyspepsia and loss of appetite. It poisons the blood, befouls the breath, stomach and lungs, and paves the way for consumption. Do not seek a few moments’ relief by taking some cheap patentnostrum, but secure a lasting cure by taking DOCTOR COOK’S celeorated treatment.

The testicles or scrotum HYDROCELE. (bag) have a twisted, knotty or wormy-like appearance. It is more frequently on theleft than right side. It always indicates a weakness of the parts, and usually results in impotency if not properly treated. The most common cause for Varicocele is self-abuse, but it not infrequently resuits from blows, falls, strains, excessive horseback or bicycle riding. Thesa are also causes of Hydrocele (a watery formation 1n the scrotum). For both Varicocele ana Hydrocele DOCTOR COOK has a new method of treatment, an unfailing cure, without resorting , ex- cept in extremely rare cases, to surgical operations. R GONORRH(EA In its inception Gonorrhass is a very simple disease. It can be easily AND ITS cured if taken In time and rightly RESULTS. bandled, but if neglected or im- properly treated it soon becomes chronic and develops into gleet.

After a while inflammation of the bladder and decay of the kidneys set in, and when this stage is reached a complete physical collapse is near at hand. Do not travel over such a road to ansarly grave. Do not, either, try to be your own doctor and undertake to cure yourself with some quack remedy, but remember that DOCTOR COQOK is as familiar with sach diseases, in all their various stages, as you are with the very daylight. —_—— LOST Many xlnun become sexually wch early in life, or at least prior to old MANHOOD age. Some because of dissipation or RESTORED. high living. Some because of worri- ment over bad crops, business re- verses or financial failures. Some because of marital excesses. But by far the larger portion of those who are prematurely weak, debilitated or impotent in their sexusl organs, have be- come so through early habits of indiscretion. These causes are responsible, especially the latter one, for what is commonly called Lost Manhood, which may be conveniently ided into three stages, as follows: First Stage: The main trouble is involuntary night emis- sions, which are usunally accompanied by lewd dreams. They are a terrible drain upon the system. They rob the blood of its richness and often produce pimples, eruptions, dark rings under the eyes ana like symptoms. Second Stage: The victim now has emissions, often with- out dreams. He shuns his friends and avoids society. He is often subject to nervousness, headaches, weak back, dys- pepsia, low spirits, loss of memory, confusion of ideas and lack ofenergy, ambition and self-confidence. Third Stage: The emissions are less frequent, because less semen is secreted. Although the general health may be good, the sexual strength is failing. In time all power is lost. The pleasures of conjugal union, or the transmission of life to pos- terity, is only an empty dream. The poor victim has lost his grip on life. Every cherished ambition is dead. The world grows dark to him, and finally a suicide’s grave or the walls of a madhouge open to receive him. Such has been the sad end- ing of many & once ambitious life. - To every Young, Middle-aged and Old man, whose sexual system has become thus impaired, DOCTOR COOK offers a skillful, helping hand. He has had more experience in the treatment of such diseases, and has cured more of them, than any otaer specialist on the American Continent. Apply to him for help and he will restore to you what you have lost—YOUR PRECIOUS MANHOOD. He will make out of you a tower of physical, mental and sexual strength. He will fit you for pleasure, study, business and marriage, and send you out into the world with life anew. SILENT If man’s glory is his strength woman's pride is her beauty. Beauty SUFFERING i npossible without health. If you WOMEN. want a clear complexion, rosy cheeks, sparkling eyes and glossy hair you must rid yourself of all such debilitating ailments as falling or displacement of the womb, painful, irregular, scanty or profuse menses, periodical headaches, leucorrnces, nervous- ness and hysteria.
