Flash- light was the name of this particular jumper and tie bookmakers now have his address securely pasted in the crowns ot their hats. The Burlingame furnished e a fair field of timber-toppers, among were Mo ), carrying 165 pounds and ruling an equal favorite withJ O C, who was to carry 150 pounds. The tip nlight had been on the k or 50 and the books were ged with coin, the green 'un always z a favorite in the betting. Mike Hennessy had the mount and | ve Irishman’’ handled the fast son of | mto perfection. Passing the stand the favorite took the lead, and stepping | over tt dles like a veteran, won as he pleased from Arundel. | The usual Saturday crowd was in at ress 1n the ring was th st 6f the week.

A two-year-old by Kylo, named after the popular bookmaxer, Barney Schreiber, was first in the two-year-old event, lead z Irritator, a 20 to 1 shot, out by nearly alength. 7The winner, coupled with his stable companion, Michael, were held in such oheap regerd in the betting that the ring laid 20 to 1 against the duo. The mile run that was second on the | card proved an easy thiog for Pat Dunne's | Salvable, which started a 9 to 10 1avorite.

F. | Crocker of the Southern Pacific Company | inreference to the subscription of that | corporation to the funds of the carnival. ‘Colonel Crocker stated that he had re- ceived a letter from President C. P. Hunt- ington from New York, in which he spoke strongly in favor of the carnival and urged upon his associates to forward its | interests in every way.

Grand anda Frank Bell, who. were all delegates, re- ported what had been accomplished and that everything looked favorable tor’ the defeat of the measure, which news aroused the alest enthusiasm. A resolution was passed thanking the | delggates for what they had done, and they were instructed to return to Sacra- mento by this afternoon’s train, as 1t was | considered probable that final action | would be taken on the measure either to- morrow or Tuesday. A resolution was also passed that the | expenses of the delegation should be de- freyed by subscriptions from the em- | ploves as’soon as the matter was settled. Secretary Cook said that the impression had been conveyed to the legislators that organized labor was in favor of the meas- ure; but he had the best authority for stating that no concerted action had been taken by the Federated Trades in that direction. OPERA TO COME. Final Arrangements Have Been.Com- | pleted for the French Company | to Open in March. According to a telegram received yester- day from J. Gottlob by Al Hayman & Co. | final arrangements have been com pleted ew Orleans for bringing out the French ra Company to the California Theater.

An opera that will be lavishly mounted | is Reyer’s “‘Sigurd,” which is almost un- known in this country, aithough selec- local concerts. In New Orleans the com- pany has been in the habit of giving light works, such as ‘‘Miss lelyett” at the matinee performances and works of the | regular grand opera repertoire in the evening. An effort is being made to secure the French Opera Company for St. Louis be- | fore the end of its four weeks at the Cali- | fornia, but the subscribers to the guaran- | tee fund here have refused to consent to | this arrangement, so the company will | probably proceed’ to St. Louis in April after the close of its engagement at the California, —— Recommended for Certificates. | The City Board of Examination met yester- | day and made recommendations that Miss | Sadie Belcher be given s grammar-grade cer- tificate on her Sacramento County grammar- grade certificate; that Miss Ida B.

Cenference He!d Wedaesday and the Idea Discussed as Feasible and Economical } The San Francisco Conference of Ch ties, in session Wednesday afternoon in Golden Gate Hall, discussed the practica- ty of co-operation among the various benevolent organizations for the specific | purpose of employing a regular trained | nurse to visit and give simple practical | suggestions to the households of the most urgent cases of sickness among the worthy but ineflicient poor of the City. A committee consisting of Miss Bryce, president of the Fruit and Flower Mis- sion; Mrs. Flint, secretary of the Asso- ciated Charities, and Mrs. Fonda of the Mizpah Club was appointed to ascertain the cost of a benevolently inclined nurse | and the names of the different sceieties in | the conference that will contribute a pro rata share of such monthly salary as may be deemed proper and suitable for an in- terested, conscientious woman nurse. All communications and suggestions on the subject may be addressed to the chairman of the committee, Miss Bryce, at 1524 Vai- ejo street. Twenty of the twenty-five societies con- stituuing the conference were repre- sented by delegates at the meeting. All expressed themselves as favorable to the project of employing & regular nurse and all seemed imvpressed with the practica- bility and economy of the plan. Tlie subject for discussion was the ad- visability of co-operation in all branches | of charitable work undertaken by various societies. Mrs. George H. Buckingbam | of the Fruit and Fiower Mission opensd the discussion with a paper in which she urged co-operation as a means of reaching more cases of deserving poor and of avoiding multiple attentions on the part of several societies o some unworthy case. She mentoned that the city of Puiladelphia employs district nurses to visit the sick among the needy poor. Comments and suggestions by a number of the delegates followed. Some most practical and_appropriate points were brougnt out by Miss Bryce, and it was she who first advocated the employment of a rurse. Chairman G. C. Woolward, a member | of the British Benevolent Society, an- | nounced the appointment of an executive committee of the conference with the fol- ! lowing members: Mrs. Esberg of the | Emanu-El Sisterhood, Associated Charities, Mgs. Popert of the | German Ladies’ Benevolent Society, Rey. W. L Kip Jr. of the Good Samaritan Mis- sion and Osgood Putnam of the Asso- ciated Charitie: Tue secretary of the conference, J. C. Astredo, announced that societies having boy applicants for aid should send them to him at 249 Second street, where efforts would be made to provide for them. At the conclusion of the meeting tea and light reireshments were served to the delegates by the ladies of the Fruit and Flower Mission, under whose particular auspices the session was heid. The conterence will meet again in about six weeks at some place to be determined upon later. i L ——e—— Mayor Phelan Turned in the Fees. Colonel Sullivan, Mayor Phelan’s private secretary, yesterday turned in to the posses- sion and custods of the City Treasurer at the new City Hall $24, fees foroutside Jands deeds which had been signed by the Mayor. During the term of Mr. Sutro's incumbency of the of- fice of Mayor $324 was collected for such deeds, but no payment was made of such fees 1o the treasury. Mayor Phelan’s act shows tnat he cousirues the law 10 read that such fees must legally be turned into the treasury, and this view is sbared by Auditor Broderick. Colonel Sullivan said that he had been in- structed fo place all fees coliccted in the Mayor's office in the City treasury. —————— Three Inquests. A Coroner’s jury decided yesterday that the death of Dantel Fleming of 34 Golden Gate avenue two days ago was due to an accident. Fleming received his injuries in the Union Iron Works, belug struck from above by a failing iron plate. There is an irtimation in the verdict that the bolt bolding had not been carefully inspected. Emma McQuoid, who took earbolle acld at 208 Shotwell street, was declared a suicide. The case of William Raicliffe, who was killed by a fall from a balyard on thé ship Hiddekel, was declared an accident. — State Prison Machinery. Messrs. Kerr, Allen and Kulman, a majority of the legislative committee of the Manufac tuters’ and Producers’ Association, to whom was submitted the question of introducing a bill in the Legislature doing away with the use of machinery in the State prisous after Lecember 31,1897, met in the rooms of that organization in the Mills bullding yesterda: and & majority reported adversely.

A Council of Associated Indus- tries Committee Grows Indignant It Desires the Sale of Impure Fo-d Made a Felcny lastead of a Misd:meanor. Police Judges on toast, served hot, with bottled indignation on the side. That was the bill of fare at a meeting of the pure food committee of the Council of As- sociated Industries, held in the Mills build- ing yesterday. . The session opened with a discussion of the best methods of making dealers sup- oly their patrons with food chemucaliy pure and the reasons why the laws now on the statute-books have so signally failed of their intent. Chairman Isidor Jacobs opened the discussion by laying the Police Judges by the heels, “Gentlemen,” he asserted emphatically, pounding the table to ada greater force to bis remarks, “‘the cause of the whole trouble lies with our Police Judges. They are the men that deserve the cudgel in this matter. ‘‘Case after case is brought before them and is turned away day after day in a manner simply shameful. They are will- ing for your wives and babies to be slowly poisoned day after day rather than treat the violators of this most just law as they properly deserve. We should request these men to meet with us and explain why they refuse to take cogaizance of these cases.’” Then J. W. Kerr took a harder shot at the offending magistrates. His voice trembled with indignation as he spoke. “What!"” he exclaimed. *'Meet in con- sultation with men who admit—or at least some of whom do—that they are un- willing to execute their sworn duty for the fear of losing votes? Not L. I beg to be excused. We could do nothing to influ- ence such persons anyway.” | Other members took a hand in the pro- ceedings at some length. Methods to ob- viate the difficulty were freely discussed. The idea that met with the most approval was to have a bill passed making the sale of impure food a lelony instead of a mis- demeanor. Tuen, B. N. Rowley said, the cases would properly come before the Su- perior Courts, and the presiding Judge could select one of his associates to hear all such cases. P. J. Healy and Isidor Jacobs were ap- pointed a committee to confer with Gar- ret W. McEnerney, the attorney for the Board of Health, to see how matters could be expedited and the proper way to urge the reform. Among other things discussed was the subject of adulterating catsup with salicylic acid. B. N. Rowley said he had given the matter due consideration and examination and had found that while the acid was not poisonous it prevented fermentation of food in the stomach, a process vital in food digestion. recent agitation of the sale of im- pure food was asserted to have made a de- crease in the importation of canned goods and jeilies from the East to the amovnt of §15,000 monthly. Adjournment ‘was taken after per- manent organization of the committee, with the election of Isidor Jacobs as presi- dent, J. W. Kerr as vice-president and Oscar Lewis as secretar:; GRENNAN IS I8 KO HURRY Willing to Wait a Month for His Three Felony Trials. Young Theresa Tarpey, the Victim, S'eeps in Her Grave, and He Is Out on Bail. Nicholas Brennan, against whom three felony charzes are pending, complacently smoked cigarettes in the corridor near Judge Waliace's court to-day, while the lawyers were arranging for a further postponement of the trial. Unusual efforts have been put forth on behalf of this young man, who, tnough quite insignificant in looks and bearing on his face the marks of early dissipation, appears to have behind him in an unusual degree that mysterious influznce which is called ‘‘the pull.” Brennan is accused of extorting money from Theresa Tarpey, formerly a domestic servant in this City, but who is now deud. It is also alleged that he feloniously as- saulted her and subsequently forced” her into a disreputable house for the purpose of compelling her to support him. According to the facts elicited in the preliminary charge and examination Brennan harassed his victim, who wasan industrious 1 between 16 and 17 years of age. He peremptorily demanded money and was willing to sacrifice her in every way to gratify his cupidity. Fol- lowing is a copy of one of his letters to the girl, copied from the official records of the case, and it indicates the style of h1s dealings with his victim: SATURDAY, Dec. 21, 1895. Tess: What do you mean by not showing up this afternoon as I asked you tor Do you want to get hurt? Iam mad—positively mad. I've a strong inclination to knock the stufling outof you.

It NEW TO-DAY T0 THE SKEPTICS. Dr. Sanden offers strong and convincing arguments to the people who have formed different reasons for doubting the curative powers of his famous Electric Belt. See if you are one of them. Dr. Sanden loves a skeptic, because most of them are his best friends to-day. Peo- ple whom he has cured were once skeptics. Does It Generate Electricity ? Many doubt its Electric power, not understanding how so simple an apparatus can make Electricity. It IS simple. An arrangement of four Tayers of metal is formed into what is called a voltaic pile. There are eighteen of these elements in Dr. Sanden’s battery, arranged in a chain, and each generates a strong electric force when excited by being immersed in vinegar and.water for one minute. This force is con- ducted through each link of the chain to the end, from which it is con- ducted to the body by electrodes, as shown in the picture above. Dr. Sanden offers $5000 for one of his Belts which will not generate a force of Electricity strong enough to be felt by the wearer as soon as charged and applied to the body. The power of the battery is warranted to last one year. Read Dr. Sanden’s book. Some Have Used Other Belts. There are many other kinds of belts, termed Electric, and experi- ence has proven that most of them are worthless, because they do not generate Electricity. The cheap, shoddy strip of cloth, with a few copper and zinc plates hidden inside, and sold at from $1 to $3, have a substance something like mustard in the cloth touching the skin, and for the first few days this warms the skin and seems, to an ignorant person, like an electric warmth; but in ten days the mustard gives out and the gullible wearer is convinced that it is worthless. Usually he will then proceed to condemn Electric Belts, when, as a matter of fact, he has not used an Electric Belt. The comparison is like that of a child’s tin watch beside a full jeweled and perfect movement—one is useful as a toy and the other has a substantial merit. The fakirs who travel from town to town selling these cheap, worthless contrivances take advantage of the limited knowledge of sufferers on this subject, and make them believe they are getting a valuable article at a low price, when in reality the money is thrown away. No belt is electric unless you can feel the electric current from it, and Dr. Sanden war- rants his in this respect. Read Dr. Sanden’s book about it. Some Have Failed With Drugs And have lost all faith in everything. Many unfortunates have spent every cent they have earned for years in feeding the quacks who live and grow fat off this class. Many have spent hundreds of dollars with physicians of high standing without attaining the results desired—these are naturally skeptical, and are justified. To them Dr. Sanden has only to say there are over 500 in this city who have taken to Dr. San- den’s Electric Belt as a drowning man would grasp at a straw—with as little faith in it, and they have been cured by it. See their names in his book. Some Doubt the Curative Power of Electricity. Many people who have not studied the subject cannot understand how electricity can do what is claimed for it. All scientific men, how- ever, agree that it has a wonderful curative effect. Professor Fowler, the world-famous author, said “Electricity is the instrumentality of all life.”” Its great power is in the fact that the nerves of everything that lives—man and beast—are electric wires, charged with electricity. When the nerves are weak and any organic disease or vital weakness results—any disease resulting from poor action of any vital function— the cause is a loss of the nerve power, electricity. When that power is given to the nerves for hours ata time as it is from Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt, the life springs fresh in the nerves, and is carried by them to the weakened parts, and health bubbles forth in every element of the body. Dr. Sanden’s book, ‘‘Three Classes of Men,” explains this fully. What Will Cure One Won’t Cure Others, So some people say, and it is true of drugs, because all drugs go to the stomach, and the effect of the dose differs according to the condition of the stomach receiving it. Some diseases can be reached by stomach- dosing ; others cannot. Some people can swallow 20 grains of quinine at once and feel no effect; others are stupefied by 5 grains. Therefore. drugs are powerless in some cases, because unnatural, not adapted to the disease nor to the patient. Electricity is not a drug; it is a natural element of the nerves; it is a part of the body, and its application only adds to the natural vital force until that force grows strong enough by the steady infusion of the current to throw off disease and regain the full vigor of the body. Dr. Sanden’s famous book, ‘“Three Classes of Men,”” which is free upon application, explains the difference between drugs and electricity. Are You Convinced ? The points which people most frequently offer as justification for their lack of faith in Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt are fully covered and answered. There is no other reasonable argument against the use of this famous appliance by people who are weak, pain-racked and ner- vous. It cures cases which medicine cures and cures many which medicine does not. It is the Mecca of the skeptic, the despondent and is the fountain of life to the weak man and woman. Are you in need of it, or .of the help it is claimed to give? Have you lost any of your vital nerve force—your strength of manhood or womanhood? If so, call and see it, or if you cannot do that, send for the book, “Three Classes of Men.”” It is full of interesting facts for your study, and has letters from hundreds of grateful people, your neighbors, who have been cured by Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt. It is free, closely sealed, by mail. Call or address & SANDEN BELECTRIC CO.. 632 MARKET ST., OPPOSITE PALACE HOTEL, SAN FRANCISCO. Office hours—8 A. M. to 8 P.M.: Sundays, 10 tol.
