He has been living at 324 Jones street and early yesterday morning was found in his room in an unconscious condition. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital and Dr. Weil diagnosed the case as opium poisoning. The doctor thought that the poison had got in its deadly work, but the usual remedies were applied and later in the day Furgeson was pronounced out of danger. Furgeson said he had been in the habit of taking small doses of opium ana he sup- posed he had taken an overdose Friday night on retiring. He disclaimed any in- tention of trying to commit suicide. Mrs. Schardin, the landlady of the house, says that Furgeson had been out of work for some tin:e, which made him despondent. He was due her three months’ room rent and had been expect- ing remittances, which did not come. ISPHKATED BY IS, A Loose Stopcock Caused the Death of Mrs. H. Lammers.

ST PHELAN MADE PRESIDENT, Reorganization Under the New Law of the Teachers’ Annuity aud Retire- ment Fund Commission. The Teachers’ Annuity and Retirement Fund Commission reorganized under the law recently passed by the Legisiature at the rooms of the Board of Education yes- Mayor Ihelan was elected Presi- dent, Superintendent of Schools Webster secretary and City Terasurer Widber as treasurer. After the reading of the new law by the secretary an informal discussion of the manner in which the affairs of the com- mission shall be conducted was held, but no action was taken beyond calling a meetiug of the 600 teachers who have already signed the roll for next Saturday afterncon, when a committee of five will be appointed to pass on the appiications | of teachers desiring to be retired. The { commission will act on the reports of this committee and pending its organization and report no applications for retirement | will be considered. Under the new law the pension fund comes out of the appropriation for school purposes rather than ou: of the pockets of tue teach: ————— SOHOOL FOR PRECITA. The Census Will Justify an Additional Bullding in the Valley. A canvass of the Precita Valley school census is said to justify the demand of the Precita Valley Improvement Ciub for a new school building for that section. The committee appointed at the last meeting Las selected a suitable site, but it has not made its choice public. The com- mittee proposes to bond one or more site: leaving the selection to the School Di rectors, who have given it as their opin- ion that the residents of the valley are the best judges of what is wanting. The recommenaation of the club for the improvement of certain streets and sidewalis was favorably received by the Supervisors, and it is believed that its sug- gestions will be carried out. The Board of Health has promised to abate the offensive pool of stagnant water at Folsom and Army streets. The vpersistent efforts of President Stephen Byrnes, Secretary J. E. O’Brien and J. T. Graham in the betterment of the Precita Valley are fully recognized and appreciated by not only the members of the club, but also the residents and prop- | erty-owners of the section. Tne transformation of Bernal Park from a sun-burned condition to a beautiful park and the removal of the offensive Pesthouse are conditions fondly hoped for in the near future. —————— Park Music To-Day.

Men worry and rush, refuse to eat, exercise und slesp properl Many lead immoral lives. From the ex cesses of drink and immorality much in- sanity arises, and we find softening of the brain a disease peculiar to men. “There is a certain disease that poisons the blood, undermines the system and leaves taints in the blood of the offspring. | From this disease spring many cases of | insanity.”” Though it is difficult to obtain compara- tive statistics of anv value as to the in- crease of insanity auringany given period, one phvsician expressed the opinion that the increase during the past generation has probably reached 10 per cent. “The point is just this,” said a promi- nent member of the profession. “Every individual has his breaking point, und if you subject him to sufficient stress he be- comes insane. Capacity to suffer is the measure of intellect Irom the clam on up ! to the statesman, yet suffering leads to | insanity. Itcomes from adverse circum- stances, worry, anxiety and troubles of all kinds which cause great excitement of the nerve centers. *It is more difficult to get on in the worll than it was in the old days, and whatever mukes the struggle for bread harder, whatever adds to the perplexities | and strain of the individual, increases his cnances of becoming insane. Much of the increase of insanity, therefore, is due to existing social and economic conditions, Until people learn to live more slowly and rest more they must expect the machinery to break down. Insanity is one form of breakdown.” The late convention of physicians has started an interesting discussion as to the causes for the increase of insanity. WHY INSANITY 1S GROWING Interesting Facts Sug- gested by Doctors in Convention. Immorality, Worry, Overwork | and Under-Rest Destroy the Mind. | The Struggle for Bread Is So Fiercs That Many Are Driven Daft. Dr. E. H. Woolsey of Oakland sprang an interesting and far-reaching question | at the State Medical Society’s Convention | at Golden Gate Hall last Thursday when | he suggested the possibility of a condition | when the insane of California” shall out- | number the sane. “If the frightful increase of insanity | continues at its present rate,” he said, he day is not far distant when the sane will be compe!led to build asylums of pro- | tection against the ravages of the insane. | Besides this, nervous diseases are more prevalent than of yore, and the neurotics are becoming dangerously numerous. “I submit that the only definite and teasible remedy that the professional man | sees to prevent the increase of insanity is in the realm of surgery, where there are definite methods of treating insane men and women in such m way that society will not have to contend with their off- spring. It must be borne in mind thata Jarge part of insanity is hereditary, and that preventive surgery insures us against the propagation of a race of men tainted with insanity.”’ Statistics covering long period of years show that insanity is on the increase at | an alarming rate in California and on the | Pacific Coast. Wider generalizations, however, show that it is a world-invading disease that increases with the growth of { civilization, being almost unknown among savages. | An’_inguiry made amonga number of San Fraucisco physictaus who make a speciulty of insanity and nervous diseases shows that much of the insanity of Cali- | fornia is not indigenous 1o the soil, but comes from all parts of the world. None of the physicians seen would con- sent to the use of their name in connec- tion with the expression of an opinion on the subject, all regarding such a publica- tion of tneir name as unethical. Will Take Up the Tracks. The Market-street Railroad Company has nformed Mayor Phelan that as soon as it can complete arrangements to use another line it will abandon and take up the tracks on Cole street, between Waller and _Frederick, back of the Chutes.
