Now if a drop of dis- eased biood is taken it will be seen that the perfect shape of this blood corpuscle is changed. Something is wrong with it. It sometimes has corners (0 it and again it has ragged edges. Every disease ieaves its peculiar mark on the little blood cor- puscle and tells to the physician just what ails it. Take the blood corpuscle thatis affected with alcoholism, and it has cre- nated edges. Itisa drunk corpuscle. Look at a drunken man and he has a peculiarly characteristic appearance that is invariably the same. Look at his blood corpuscles and you will find that they, 100, show the drunkenness just as much as the man who carries them. A man who has seen the worid does not have to look twics to tell that a man is under the influence of .liquor, neither does a good micr scopist have to look twice to tell that a blood corpuscle has been tainted with disease, be that disease alcoholism or anvthing else. Dr. d'Evelyn has a great number of slides which he places under bis micro- scope, and while they all look alike to the naked eye, any one, be he a physician or just an ordinary man who has made no | study of the discases which flesh is heir to, IHPURITY. | can see at once that there is a vast differ- ence in their appearance. ‘What appear to be little red blotclies on the gzlass when they are lookea at without the aid of the glass show under the microscope in a wonderful variety of ways. There are all sorts of queer-look- |ing individuals, and these difterent ap- pearances are the signs that nature has placed on the blood to designate that it is not perfect. Nature evidently does not want to be held responsible for what she has had no hand in torming, and brands each corpuscle that does not come up to the standard as “impure,” just as the examiners of food piace their brand on imnure food. The brand on a blood corpuscle affected | with alcoholism is so’distinctive that it cannot be mistaken, just as the brand for diphtheria or scarlet fever or any other specific disease is marked, invariably the same way. A glance at the illustrations of this arti- cle will give a better idea of the changes | that have taken place in the corpuscles than any explanation by words. Take the cut representing the shide uvon which ap- pears the biood of a no.mal horse and it BLOCD IN CHILD, | BOTH PARENTS ALCOHOLIC, m;‘cégcv‘nc Hogtsz_ "EYLLY RI ApvAncED ALcocyTIC. HUMAN ANEMIC. Appearances of the Blood Corpuscles Undec Ditferent Conditions. wrong, When the blooa gets wrong the | whole system generally follows suit, and |8 man wnose bluod is out of order, no matter from what cause, is an unhealthy | man. T s “bad blood" idea is what has sent the whole medical world to studying the germ theory, and it has come to be zenerally accepted among doctors that the germ of a disease causes a change in | the condition of the blood and thus brings | about the malady. But a scientist does not dabble 1n blood .‘_“,;_p a butcher. He goes atitin an entirely d fferent way. He handl it on glass plates, or s | placed under the magnifying lense and | examined to see just what changes have taken place since they were in a pure and healthful condition, or normal. It is these changes from normal that determine ex- actly what disease it is that has bold of a man when he is “‘all run down.” Of course, a good microscopist must know just how pure blood looks before he | can tell what bad blood is, and then he must know just what it is that causes the various changes in the blood before he can tell what malady it is that brings about the peculiar changes that are di- rectly under his observation. Thischange in blood corpuscles from the poison of dis- ieuse is what started Dr. d’Evelyn to studying the subject of alcoholi-m as a | blood disease, for he found that there was a distinctive appearance in the blood of & man &ho was addicte ' to the use of alco- ho! and also in the blood of children of prrents who used alcohol. This led him, naturally, to believe that alcobolism was a blood disesse, nnd start- ing from this premise he believed that by treating the blood he could er:d:cate the discase, and thus relieve the urinker from the desire to drink and take irom the chila the hereditary taint which would lead him to drink. The resulis of these investigations have been told fully in THE CavLL, and what the doctor has done and what be is doing, and what he intends to do ::bms theuiyl is corrict, was explained in ree ariicles vhi st es whicn appeared last One of the interesting features of the study of the doctor in obtaining the re- sults which have been obtained is the ap- pearance of the blood vessels ss they have changed from the pure article to the dis- eased, and this is beiier told 1n pictures of in- blood corpuscies than in words. Take the healihy blood corpuscle and there are two kinds of them, the red and the white, and they have a perfectly disk- like shape, being more like a small quoit in appearance than anything else. They are round like a cake, but with the center pressed in, and these little disks are the very essence of the blood itself. Take one of these disks and place it un- der the magnifying class and it will be rudely when tney called to remove a piano which she had purchased on the installment plan, but had not paid for in full. seen to be perfect in shape and unchang- ing in its appearance. It nasa healthy, will be seen thai the red and white cor- puscles are round and perfect in form. Then look at the cut of the slide contain- ing the blocd of an aicocytic horse not fully developed and it will be seen that the corpuscles are ragged, and instead of being round have corners to them. Then by locking at the next cut, showing the blood of a ripe alcocytic horse, it wili be seen that these corpuscles are breaking down, some being entirely disintezrated. The slides showing tie blood of human beings give as distinctive changes. The normal blood shows the corpnscles round and firm, with the edges even. ‘Then by looking at the corpuscles of a man who is in an advanced alcocytic stage it will be noted that the corpuscles ara broken and disintegrated and changed in their compo- sition. The blood of the child of aico- holic parents shows how it is affected by the hereditary taint, the corouscles being changed and much deformed. It will thus be seen by the examination of the blood just how nature brands the impure blood VALUABLE LAND. Property That Commanded a Good Price From the Valley Koad. Judge Coffey yesterday confirmed the sale of two pieces of real estate ai Point Richmond for $10,000 that a few years ago were bought from the State of California by the ate Matthew Crooks for $17. The property was passed from the estate of Mr. Crooks to his wife, Susan Crooks, who has sincedied, and 1t was in the settlement of her estate that yesterday’s transaction was made, the purchaser being Claus Spreckels on behalf of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Rairoad. It was explained to tue court that there | was som~ dizputein regard to the title of the Crooks estate to this property, butthat the company is willing to pay the amount pnamed and take chances of establishing the titlein the cours, releasing the estate from responsibility in that regard. Ex.- Judge Sullivan remarked that it was evi- dent the Valley road had benefited real estate interests in that locality. ——————————— Baron von Schroeder in Town, The Baron von Schroeder arrived here yesterday from his ranch in San Luis Obispo County.

His Expert Testimony Fully Corrobo- rated by That of Dr Morgan. Judge Trout had possession of his court- room for an bour yesterday morning,so the Figel case was not taken up until 11 o'clock. Testimony of experts took up the entire session of the day. General Barnes continued wich cross-examination of Dr. Gallagher. “Did you ever examine the hat exhib- ited here which is said to be that of Hoff- man?” : “Idid not'¥ “Please examine it as to the hole and black mark on it. Are you able to char- acteriza that hole and mark?” “Itis a ragged hole.” “Can you express an opinion as to what made it and what direction it came from— the top or bottom 2’ “It is a bullethole and the bullet passed tbrongh from the under side of the hat.”” “What in your opinion made the black mork,” “The smoke and heat from the pistol.” “What distance from the hat was the pistol neld?” “Wi:hin three inches.” “‘Could it have been held as close as one incn 2" After pointing the pistol at the hat the witness replied, “No, I don’t think it could.” “What distance with black powder. could the pistol be held (0 make a powder 181100 irrespective of smcke marks?” “*About three inches.” At this peint of the proceedings Mr. Ach was in fronu of Judge Camipbeil's desk, talking with him. General Barnes objected to this, saving: “'If that conver- sation is going into the record I would like tobein on it.” Mr. Ach replied with some warmth: “Oh, I nave seen you do it half a dozen times.”” *You have never seen me do it,” retorted Barnes. Mr. Ach returned 1o his seat carrying with bnim the hat. The general ovjected, as he was not through with the hat. *If you want the hat come and get ir,” said Ach. Mr. Barnes remarkea that he hadn't taken the hat, and didn’t propose to re- turn it, but he wanted the witness 1o have the > the hat. The clerk of the court took the hat from Mr. Ach and returned it to the Judge’s de k. The witness continued and said a pistol held within 2}¢ inches would make noth- ing but a smuuge and leave no tattoo of powder, but if the hat had ‘“‘fuzz’ onit, that would be burned, “You spoke of a black rim on wound | B —what caused i1?”" ihink it was the grease or lubricant on the bullet.”” *‘Wnat jed you to pelieve that?’ “On all bullet wounds I have found there has been the same mark.” “Have you had occasion to notice at what part of the body suicides generally direct the weapon?'’ I have not.” “Have you noticed where murdered ) generally are wounded 2" No, sir."” sn’t it a fact that the vast mnjarity of suicides direct the pistol at the head?” Tbis question brougnt a torrent of ob- jections irom Mr. Ach and Judge Murphy as it was asking something beyonu the m knowledge of the witness. Thney were sustained. “From your observations have you noticed that the wounds of murdered men are generally 1n the body and suicides in the head?” “Yes, in murders the wounds are gen- erally in the body and suicides in the head.” “What did you mean in your testimony when you spoke of part af the wound be- ing inverted and part everted ? Last night I cook some of your phrases and a good dictionary and found out what some ot your technical ierms meant, but I want it appear in 1he Tecord.” The witness explained the terms and the court remarked, ‘I don’t understand yei.!” General Barnes said: ‘“You said yesterday thatyou did, and I was glad you knew more than I did.” Dr. Gallagherexplained again his mean- ing of the terms and told how he a counted for the condition of the wound. Judge Murphy asked the witness a ques- tion in regard to ihe wound, and Judge Louderback obj cted to the prosecution breaking in wilh qaestions during the cross-examination. Mr. Ach said the de- fense hau Leern allowed to ask witnesses questions auring the direct examination and no objection was mude, but if they | wanted to muke that rule he was sati fied if they wouid live up to it themselves. General Barnes said: I have no objec- tion to_Judge Murphy except that he left the befich. We have been ‘chewins the rag’ considerably, as your Honor so beau- tifully expressed it.’’ The witness continued and said he had found no powder tattoo on the wound in the temple, but that the thick hair would have prevented that. Krom the condi- tion in which he found wound No. 3 it was nis opinion that the muzzle oi the pistol had been held about three inches from the skull. He found no smudge or powder | tattoo around wound No. 1. “In your opinign how far held to make wound No. 1 “Outsid« of twenty inches.’ “Could you get your index finger in the wound ?”’ “No, it is rather large and stubby, but I | could have put my ittle finger in it."” The witness was »sked to make a dia- gram of the wound, and while he was drawing it General Barnes en aged in con. versation with the court. Judge Murphy jokingly made the same objection to this that Barnes had maae to the similar | action of Ach. “It there were a smudge one and a half inches in diameter found aronund the wound, what, 1n your opinion, was the distance the pistol must have been held ?’ **About 1wo anda a half inches, butif there had besn a smudge the beard would have been singed.'” ““Was it poasible for one to walk around after receiyving these wounds?" “Iwill have to admit that it was pos- aibAlei‘ but extremely improbable.”’ ypothetical question s to the prob- abiiity pof Mr. fl ffman's having been able to travel to Rothcnild’s room if he had received the wounds in the conversa- tion rrom was objected to, but on being reframed received the answer that it mizht have been possible, but was not probable. “Is it your opinion that he must have been placed there by some other means than the volition of his own muscles ?” This was otjected to,and it was sus- tained. “Would the distance from which the shot was fired make any difference in the size of the wound?"”’ Wwas the pistol “In my opinion it wouid make very little difference.”” On redirect examination Dr. Gallagher testified that it would be a remarkable case for a right-handed man to shoot Lim- selt on the left side of the bead. It was the opinion of the witness that the same shot caused the burn on the right side of the head and the hole in the hat. The experiments with the powder- marks on the piece of human skin were referred to acain, and Dr. Gallagher took occasion to explain that he was not leased at a sneering remark General arnes had made in regard to his muti- lating a cadaver. He explained his right to take the skin from the body, and said SATY SHE MAY NOT REACH PORT The Schooner North Fork Reported to "Be Very that it had not been. mutilated. General Barnes said t:.e doctor nad misunderstood bim, and that there had been nointen- tion to reflect any discredit on the pro- fession. The doctor repeated his testimony that if the pistol had been close enough to make a smudge on wound No. 1 the beard would have been burned, and it was not. In response to a question irom General Barnes, he said the beard continued to grow after death. Dr. Charles Morgan, who was present at the autopsy, corroborated the testimony of Dr. Gallagher in regard to it, reading from the notes he took at the time. He saia that wound No. 3 would have knocked a man down, rendered him un- conscious and caused facial paralysis, but not immediately. The effect of No. 1 would have been similar to this. He re- peated the testimony in regard to the ex- periments with the human skin and iden- tified the photographs taken of them. General Barnes looked at these pictures and said: “They look like the skin of a raccoon.on a barn door.” The witness didn’t think it possible for Hoffman to have shot himself. He said the probabilities were agrinst his having been able to inflict wound No. 3 after No. 1. He thought the builet which made the hole in the hat must have come irom be- hind the head, and that shot caused the powder-burn in the right forehead. The smudge on the hat and forehead made a complete circle. This completed the direct examination and the case was continued uni:l Monday morning. THAT BOGUS _BRANDY. Argument of Deputy U. S, At- torney Schlesinger on Be- half of the Government. Holds That Federal Law and Federal Officers Are Superior to the State. He Argument in the Dockery case was re- sumed yesterday morning before Com- missioner Heacock. The greater partof the day was occupied by Deputy United States Attorney Schlesinger. Mr. Schles- inger argued that Congress had delegated to the cu toms officers full authority over interstate commerce and goods in bond, and that any interference on the part of State officials was unwarranted and un- lawful. While an article is in proces< of exportation no persons not connected with the Customs Department can deal with it. Tue power of pol:ce and health inspectors extends to the protection of the lives, limbs, the hea.th, comfort of the people and the protection of property within the State. As the brandy in question was intended for exportation only and was manufsci- ured with the sanction of the Government it was beyond Dockery’s power to inter- fere with it. Whenever an act of the Legis- lature of a State is inconsistent with the laws of the General Government the State law must give way. Dockery could have accomplished his end without interfering with the customs officials by sendinga cablegram to London to the intended pur- chaser, warning him of the true character of the arti Mr. Schlesinger then passed to the point that M1. Dockery bhad noright to question the power of the Collector. Only Naval Officer Irish would have a right to make any exceptions to the shbipment. The authorities at; Washington and the cus- toms authorities in New York had passed upon that question and had deemed the matter of the character of the goods of no importance at all. The Feleral Govern- ment alone has to deal with this question and not a stranger. When Congress de- clares that an article may be manufact- ured it is binding upon the local officials. Mr. Schlesingsr areued further thatno State law gave Dockery the right to even inspect the artic:e, it not being dangerous to the life or health of the inhabitants of this State, not being intended for con- sumption by the people of this State. If Dockery could do those things he would bave greater power than the Collecior of Customs and the Collector would not be allowed to make a shipment without permission of Dockery. He would bave a richt to walk into a Government ware- iouse and examine imporied articles and to determine arbitrarily whether they were fit for consumption, and he could destroy whatever he did not fike. Mr. Dunne will begin tlie argument for Dockery next Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock. IS R DA T WILL AID THE MONUMENT FUND Sons of Vermont Willing to Lend a Haod.

A Budget of Interesting*Business Transacted at the Labor Coun- cil Meeting, The weekly meeting of the San Fran- cisco Labor Council was held at Union Hall last evening. In the absence of President Hill Vice-President M. Davis took the chair. A communication was received from the International Wood-workers' Union of Quincy, Ili., stating that a boycott had been declared on the Excelsior Showcase ‘Works and the Quincy SBthowcase Works, which are fighting orgarized labor; also one from the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers of Canton, Ohio, stating that seventy-five members of that body had besn locked out of the Canton Steel Company’s mil! for refusing to sever their connection with the union. Delegaie Furuseth of the Sailors’ Union reported that owing to the scarcity of men along the water front at present a number of the available ones heve refused to ship without an increase of $ per month. This movement is general awong both union and nop-union men, but as yet no | action has been taken by the union. | Mr. Furuseth also embodied in his re- | port an interesting piece of infcrmation | regarding the steam schooner North Fork, which sails for St. Michael to-day. His report was as follo. The steam schooner North Fork has been chartered to go to St, Michael with passen- gers for the Klondike, and she is to tow up an oid ferry-boat, the side wheels of which have been removed. This férry-boat having | 1n0 motive power, either steam or sail, will de- | pend entirely upon her tow, au'd with the pre- vailir g northeasterly winds at this time of the year in the Bering Sea and about the Aleutian Islands, there is a fair probability that neithgr the ferfy-boat nor the steamer, lumbered up as she will be on deck and deep loaded with cargo and passengers all outof her proportion, will ever reach their destination. It is also stated that she is 1o take 8s seamen any men willing to go, irrespeciive of their skill and experience. It will be fortumate indeed if this, expedition ever reaches the mouth of the Yukon, aud men on the water front who know the steam schooner, tke diffi- culty of tow:ng and the weather sure to be encountered say they wosld rather walk all the way than take their chances in such an expedition as this, where even proper life- boats and men to handle them scem io be missing. The delegate from the Musicians’ Union reported that a communication had been received from theg'Letter-carriers’ Band in which they reqfiested thut they be ad- mitted into the Musicians’ Union ina body as social members, they having re- ceived information that as Federal em- ployes they cannot join a labor organiza- tion. He also presented a circular con- demninga local theater’s management for not observing union rates. This matter will be taken up at the regular meeting of the Musicians’ Union next week and the council decided to take no action on it until after that time. The delegate from the Theatrical Em- ployes’ Union reported that at a recent meeting of that body it was decided that the theatrical empioyes would stand by the musicians in whatever action they might take regarding tae theatrical trouble at Morosco’s Theater. The executive committee reported that while few ot the unions had met in time to take action on the appeal fent out in behalf of the suffering miners in tne Eas, the fund i:ad already reached over $200. O this $50 was contributed by the Coop- ers’ Union, $100 by the Sailors’ Union and $20 from the Brewers’ Union. Mavor Phelan is acting as general treas- urer of the fund, but some of this money has aiready been sent East bv the persons contributing. Money has also been re- ceived by the secretary of the council irom outside the City. CONVENTION COMMITTEE. Plans to Secure the Grand Army—A Committee on Organiza- tion. At the called meeting of the California Convention Committee at the Mayor's office yesterday, a large number ot tele- | grams from prominent G. A. R. leadersin the East were read, favoring San Fran- cisco as the most desirable place of meet- ing next year for the encampment. The secretary was instructed-to collect literature and forward it to Buffalo next week, to be used by the committee which goes there for the purpose of securing the encampment for San Francisco. Funds were subscribed by the gentlemen present to cover the expenses of headquarters, literature, ete. The following committee ot five was ap- pointed by the chair to outline a plan for permanent organization funds: and to secure W. Dohrmsnn, James Hors- M. Carman, 8. F. Thorne K.
