Quarantined Milk at the Foot of Market Street. The excitement among milk-dealers, which was aroused to such a pitch Friday night by the quarantine placed upon 8000 gallons from counties across the.oay, had | changed yesterday into a feeling of deep resentment against the men who had taken such summary action. All the milk except that coming from Alameda County | has been released from the restrictions, | and tevo dairies in that county have com- plied witl the regulations and are per- mitted to pass. The dairymen of Alameda County, how- | ever, did not take warning from the in- cident of Friday night, and every boat | \erday brought milk which was imme- | The principal men of the Milk-dealers’ | Asscciation say they ars afraid to talk for | publication, as the inspectors many ways of causing them trouble.

The whole inspection, according to the remark of one dealer, is a farce and guarantees nothiny in the way of pure milk. The officers in charge of the quaran- tined milk at the ferry depot had a busy time all day attending to the milkmen who came with letters and cer:ificates of bave so | ess, and attribute itall to | means that if a man’s cows are tested in Oaklard, his milk can be excluded from lameda unless they are tested again. The charge for testing cows is fixed arbi- | trarily at one dollar, and the cows must be tested every year. As there are six thousand cows in Alameda County, the amount of fees tnat wouid be received by the Inspector is out ot all proportion to the work required. 1 have seen a vet- rinary inject tuoerculin into thirty-five cows in twenty minutes. He has to em- ploy a man to take the temperature of the animal some time before and scme time afier the test. and this man receives $2 per | day.

Something like 1500 gallons were held yesterday and denied passage. Representatives of several of the dairies voured their milk in the bay ana were permitied to take back the empty cans. Among the wholesale imilk-deaiers throughout the City there was much in- dignation expressed because tbey had been unnecessarily inconvenienced. They say that if they bad been : iven notice by the Board of Heaith that the milk was to quarauntined they could have maae other arrangements and thus have suppied their customers. As it was, even those whose milk was released later lost their mlk, as the retailers who depended upon them for their sunply did not rerurn and the milk had to be poured out.

He said he would keep watch on the other counties and sce that they lived up to their agreement regard- ing the laws that had been passed and if they went over the specified time the milk from there would al<o be stopped. The dairymen of Alameda County made call npon the Supervisors across the bay vesterday 1o convene an exira session and take the necessary steps to get their milk into San Francisco. e CRITICISE THE WORK. Inspector Dockery’s Quarantine Does Not Affect the Dealers of Oakland. SAx Fraxcisco CALy,) Broadway, July 24, { It is now very clear that there are two sides 1o the controversy over the milk or- dinance now raging in this city. The ac- tion of Inspector Dockery is causing very Little annoyance to the dairymen at this time, because only four dairies in the whole county ship milk to San Francisco, and all these are ontside of Oakiand. Wiiliam Farno, one of the leading or- ganizers of the Alameda County Dairy- men’s Association, made the foliowing statement to-day: “The doctors on both sides of the bay and Inspector Dockery are not acting intelligenily and with dig- nity in this matter. The ordinance which the City Council indefinitely postponed is not understood by the public. In the first place it is a long, unintelligible document, altogetner too complex in its details. It occunies a whole page of a paper the size of THE CALL, printed in small type, and surely no such amount of matter is neces- sary to declare for a tuberculin test. ¢‘In the second place this supervision of the milk business can not be undertaken with success by any one city, but it must be general throughout the State, Dr. Carpenter, inspector of Alameda, will not accept anything certified to by Dr. Pierce, OAKLAND OFFICE 908 Qak'and's inspector, and vice versa, This the vetrinary for twenty minute’s work. The tuberculin comes from Washington free and the freightamounts to very little. Again, the ordinance provides that all cows bought in other counties shall be tested before being placed with herds in Alameda County. This is another source of expense. If our cows are killed and found to be free from disease, we have no redress. Already dairymen have found a way to defeat the test. They can inject tuberculin into the cows some days before the inspector arrives, and af.er his test there will be no change of temperature and he will consequently report the cows as all healthy when they might all bs dis- eased. [t places too much power and too much opportunity for extortion in the hands of officials who mizht be dishonest, and no redress is provided for the dairy- man.”” Dr. K. E. Pierce, the milk inspector of this City, heartily approvea of Mr. Dock- ery’s action. ‘It would be unfair 1o the San Francisco dairymen,” said Dr. Pierce, “to allow milk from this county to be sold across the bay that had not been tested, because all the dairymen of S8an Francisco have already obeyed their ordinance. At the present time we are doing nothing. We have shaped our ordinance and pre- sented it tofthe council which has rejected it. We cannot force them to pass it, and can do nothing more.”” The Oakland dairymen are rejoicing at present that they are entirely iree from legislation, and as none of them send milk to San Francisco, they are smiling at Mr. Dockery’s efforts. To-morrow evening an altempt will probably be made by Councdman Cuvellier to have the ordi- nance brought up and con-iderably amended. Of the Sewer Kind. Andrieu Planchard, editor and proprietor of Ls Reyue Hebdomadaire, & periodical pub- lished 1 Oskland and in the French lan- guage, was arrested yesterday morning on a charge of mailing obscene matter. lhe war- rant was iesued on complaint of the postal in- spectors, the offensive matter being a scur- rilous editorial attack on a lady,one of the parties to & divorce sult. Planchard is also a trunk-dealer on Twelfth street, Oakland. He was released on furnish- ing bouds 1n the sum of $1000.

For particulars ap- ply 201 Front st. i THEY DI NOT OPEN THE DOOR An TUnsuccessful Attempt to Rescue Chinese Slave Girls. The House Suddenly Grew Dark and Remained Closed to Visitors. Electric Bells Rang and the Whole Alley Was Notified of the Raid. ‘Word was received several days ago by the Society for the Protection of Children that two Chinese girls under 16 years of age were kept as slaves in a vile house on St. Louis alley, and an attempt was made last night to rescue them, but the officers found that word of their coming had evi- dently pieceded them, for the doors of the house were closed and no response was made to their demands for entrance. When the attempt was made onc mem- ber of the party, in citizen’s clothes, went forward and found that the lower door was open and the curtain at the head of the stairs was drawn back and gir!s could be seen in the interior. When he at- tempted to ascend the stairs the door was slammed in bis face. Five minutes later the door was found open again and the entire party went into the hallway, but the inmates were silent and would not open the door. Tke Chinatown squad came to the assistance of the party, but were as unsuccessful in getting the door open as were the other officers. Itre- sisted all efforts on the part of the officers and was evidently heavily barred on the inside. It has been known to the officers of the society for some time that slave girls were beld in these houses who were under age, and it has been determined to get them away if it is possioie. Some ot these youhg girls are recent arrivals from China, notwithstanding the law of ex- clusion. Those eirls who have escaped say that they had no trouble in getting in when they arrived from China, as they told the officials that they had been born here and their papers bore oht the state- ment, and they were landed without de- tention. Most of the girls say that they did not find out that they had been sold as slaves until they reached this side of the ocean. A peculiar feature of the raid was the fact that the officials of the society were told by a Chinaman that the people of the alley knew of the issuance of the warrants within a very short time after they had been sworn out, and it 1s probable now that the children will be removed from the city in order to prevent the possibility of rescue. . 8t. Louis alley is one of those blind alleys so numerous in Chinatown, and is especially adapted to the hiding of giris. It runs in from Jackson street toward ‘Washington, but stops half way and joins oss alley, known as Nun Kuk alley, cn runs in from Dupont street. These two alleys are at various levels, and it is necessary to ascend and descend several :hvt flichts of steps in traversing them. At®the junction are piles of lumber and devris of varioug kinds. The entire alley is lined with aens of different kinds, and cemmunication by electric bells is had from house to house. When the raid was maude these beils could be distinctly heard ringing in the other houses and lights went out as if shut off by an electric switch-board. J. 3. O'BRIEN'S ESTATE, Letters of Administration Asked For by the Widow—No Will Found. Mrs. Etta F. O'Brien, widow of the late Joha J. O’Brien, hag' filed a petition for letters of administration on her husband’s estate, as no wiil can be found, In her petition Mrs. O'Brien sets forth that the estate consi-ts of the home prop- erty on the north side of Post street, be- tween Franklin and Gougb, in this City, and an inierest in the great dry-goods store of J. J. O'Brien & Co. at the corner of Market and Jones sireets. There is no statement of the proportion of the decedent’s interest in the business of J. J. O'Brien & Co. and Mrs. O'Brien says she is unable to estimate the value of the estate. — s o o MRS. E)RAV}.‘.N SUSPENDED. The School Directors Are to Make a Fuller Investigation, After a five minutes’ session yesterday afternoon the Board of Education sus- pended Mrs, Nettie R. Craven, principal of tue Mission Grammar School, pend- ing a thorough investigation regarding the charges recently preferred against her. Previous to the meeting a secret session of the board was held and the following report agreed upon: SAN FRANCISCO, July 24, 1897. Gentlemen: Your committee on rules, to whom was referred the charges preferred against Mrs. Nettie R. Craven by Sam L. Wal- ler, beg leave to report that we have partially investigated said charges, and we ask for further time in order to make a fuller investi- gation into the matter. From said partial investigation we recom- mend further that Mrs. Nettie R. Craven be suspended from the principalship of the Mis- sion Grammar School pending the complete and final investigation of these charges, Dr. George 1. Drucker (chairman), Dr. D. F. Ragan, Ben Armer. When the board was called to order ths report was adopted without a dissenting voice. ———-———— CAUGHT IN THE RAIN. The China’s Cargo Must Pay Duty Un- der the Lingley Tariff. The steamer China, which arrived here at 7 o’'clock yesterday morning, brought considerable freight which the consign- ees wished to have landed before the new tariff bill had been passed. They held a consultation with the intention of peti- tioning Collector Jackson to allow the cargo to be landed at once, so it could be admitted under the old tariff. They found, howeaver, that the new tariff bill contained asection which stood in the way. Itis section 13 and reads as fol- low: Thaton or after the day when this act shall go into effect all goods, wares and merchan- dise, previously imported, jor which no entry has been made, and all goods, wares and mer- chandise previously entered without pay- ment of duty and under bond for warehous- ing, transportatiou or any other purpose, for which no permit of delivery to the importer or his agent has been issued, shall be sup- jected to rates of this pill. Under any circumstances, therefore, the China’s cargo is liable to pay the increased duties. AN e Appointed a Disbursing Agent. Colonel Jackson, Collector of Customs at this port, received a letter yesterday from Secretary Gage appointing him as disbursing agent for laborand material on the new Post- office building. Colonel Jackson’s bonds Collector will be responsible for his acts as disbursing agent, a J’n. ‘will receive no com- pensation as such. 10 ADVERTISE NEW 70-DAY — DRY GOOD:! A i cauronitd BLACK DRESS FABRIGS AT EXTREMELY LOW PRIGES. Omaha'y Great Exposition Next June May Be of Deep Benefit, If Skillfully Taken Up This State May Receive Its Dues in the East. George W. Parsons Tells About His Visit to the Great falt Lake Plain. George W. Parsons, vice-president for the State of California in the matter of the great Omaha Exposition, has returned from a visit East, where he attended the Trans- Mississippi Congress. He 13 anx- ious that the West should thoroughly understand the matter of the exposition. ““This exposition,” said he, yesterday, “will afford a grand opportunity for Cali- fornia. Through the Christian Endeav- orers and other means California Las re- ceutly been forging ahead in Eastern esti- mation. All the State needs is more peo- ple here, and as soon as people know the products, climate and resources of the State they cannot fail to come here. All these advantages may be easily shown at this exposition if a little forethought be taken. “‘Every State in the Union is working toward thisexposition. The United States Goverument has appropriated $250,000 to its promotion, and it is time we did some- thing. Hitherto California has remained passive. I tried at the last session of the Lecislature to get an appropriation of $50.000, and succeeded in getting ihe measure through the Senate, but Governor Budd stopved it. He had an economical streak at that time, and this good chance for California was lost. “It is true that there was some little doubt at first. Peovole thought it was a gate-money atfair. But now it is an as- sured success, and California must think seriously of getting in in time. “‘Under the county government act the Bourds of Supervisors of the various counties can take action in order to adyer- tise their sections. Each board can appro- priate a certain amount to be applied to this purpose, and every dollar may tend to make the merits of that particular lo- cality known to the prospective immi- grant. Los Angeles has aiready appropri ated a substantial amount to the Exposi- tion, and other counties are considering the matter. No space has yet been ap- plied for or assigned, but it is time that the matter was seriously ventilated. *‘California should spesk in no uncer- tain terms next June, when this great Trans-Mississippi and International Ex- position will be orened. great exposition of the kind to be held in the West. In 1876 Phniladelphia advertised the East; in 1893 Chicazo exhibited the resources of the East and Middle West; in 1896 Atlanta proclaimed the possibili- ties of the South. It remains for Omaha in 1898 to demonstrate the superior attrac- tions of the great West, and especially the unparalleled glories of the Golden State. “So far people bave known little of the intention of this Omaha enterprise. It only requires to be known to be in- dorsed.” WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED. About Fort ve Will Leave for the Hop ¥Flelds of San Joaquin. As a preliminsry experiment to the col- onization scheme for the tvnemployed Major Winchell of the Salvation Army yesterday agreed to send about forty-five | men and women to the hop fields of Mrs. Annie Olsen, near New Hope Landing, in 8an Joaquin County. They will receive 80 cents per 100 pounds and wiil be able to make on the average about §1 a day. The more expert pickers will do better than this. Most of those who will go are women. Among the men are a number of those who have applied to become members of the proposed sugar-beet colony. It is believed that this course will give the pro- moters an opportunity to test the qualifi- cations of the aspirantsfor colony benefits. —_— A Union Mass-Meeting To-Day.

A foul bresth is one of the greatest affiictions thata mag or woman can have. An affliction not ouly to themselves, but to those with whom they come in " contact. A foul =~ breath is a dreadful discourager of affec- tion, or rather of the demonstration of af- fection. It would probably be more so if people only realized just what bad breath means. Bad breath is one of the symptoms of constipation. Some of the other symp- toms are sour stomach, loss of appetite, sick and bilious headache, dizziness, heart- burn and distress after eating. These things mean indigestion. They lead to dyspepsia and worse things. They all start with con- stipation, and constipation is inexcusable because it can be cured —cured easily, quickly and permanently, b{_lhe use of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. They are a per- fect remedy for this most common of all troubles. They give to nature just the little help that she needs. They are very mild in their action, and act without any violence whatever. In this, they are different from many preparations offered for a similar pur- pose. Sometimes the remedy is worse than the disease, Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are mild, but they are infallibly efficient, They do_the work which they are intended to do, without deranging the system in an: way. They not only give immediate mlieg but the benefit derived from them is per- manent. You can stop taking them by and by and there is no danger that you will become a slave to their use. The drug- st who tries to sell you something else “just as good,”’ either does not know what he is talking about, or he makes more money on the other thing. If you care more for his prosperity than you do for your own health, take the other thing. If ou value your health, insist on having Dr. ierce’s Pleasant Pellets. A free sample, of from 4 to 7 doses, will be sent to any address. A copy of Dr. Pierce's celebrated 1008 page book, ‘' The Common Sense Medical Adviser,” profusely illustrated, will be sent free on receipt of twenty-ome (21) cents in ome-cent stamps to cover cost of mailing only.
