GRAND MARINE DISPLAY. The Suggestion of National Parlor of the Native Sons for the Celebra- tion 1900, Many of the parlors of the order of the Native Sons of the Golden West are al- ready devising ways and means to cele- brate in a fitting manner the 9th cf Sep- tember, 1900, in this city. It is proposed that the celebration shall be one of unusuai magnitude, and the officers and members of each parlor are making sug- gestions as to what would be most appro- priate on that occasion. National Parlor of this city, through Ww. Fett, president, and other officers, points out to the officers of the order at large that during the celebration a pleas- ing and attraciive feature would be a grand marine demonstration on the bay of San Francisco by the Government war ships, and aavises that assoon as practic- able the matter be taken in hand, and that influence be brought to bear upon the Government officials at Washington, D.C., to prevail upon the Secretary of the Navy to order as mauy vessels of the navy as possible to the bav of S8an Francisco at that time and for the purpose alluded to. The officers are of the opinion that this propusition will receive the united atten- tion of the members of the order through- out the State. -~.—— BSITER TIMES ARE HERE But Few Union Workmen Are Now Out of Employment. The reports of the union workmen to their respective unions are of the most encouraging nature, but few men being out of empioyment. Such at least were the reports wade Monday evening at the regular gathering of the sandstone cutters. Within the past few weeks a large number have gone to the big Southern Pacific Rail- road bridge work at Modesto, and those who remain are kept busy on the ferry and Hall of Justice work. Even as it is there are not many idle men,and when the new Wells- Fargo build- ing is started on Second and Market all wiil surely find employment. On the ferry building the union men have less trouble with the contractor than formerly, bat this may be on accouunt of the scarcity of good stone-cutiers. In the carpentering trade the same state of affairs seems to exist. There are many large jobs now on the contractors’ hands and many small jobs to be done for which there are no workmen very anxious to offer their services. In fact there isa good demand for men to take work that will last only a few days, and nearly all the available ‘men are hoiding out for something that promises a long run. Monday evening Carpenters’ and Join- ers’ Union No. 483 met and decided to join iesues with the Building Trades Council—a matter that has been under consideration for a long time. Union 22 has already signified its intention to join the council, and No. 304 will in ail prob: bility follow suit very soon. This accom- plished, the council will bs the sirongest body of organized labor weat of the Mississippi. .- SHE WAS STARVIKNG. Mrs. Hanson, an Old Woman, Stole Two Eggs aod Was Arrested.

Mrs. Hansen was arrested late Monday night by Policemen Eastman and Dougherty for stealing two ezgs from a crate at the door of Henry Strathman’s grocery, First and Folsom streets. The Judge promptly dismissed the case and expressed the opinion that the arrest was uncalled for., . - HAD A BASEBALL BAT. A Would-Be Mission Robber Beats a Hasty Retreat. Mrs, Smith, 58 Susrex street, Castro Addition, reported to Mounted Policeman Wilkinson yesterday thetatall man, with a handkerchief covering the lower part of his face, attempted 1o hold up her hus- band last Saturday night about 6:30 o’clock. She said he was on his vu¥ home and was carrying a baseball bat for one of the children.” As he was passing the quarry at the Castro Addition the man told him to throw up his hands. Smith raised the baseba!l bataloft and the would-be robber beat a hasty retreat. The police do not place any credence upon Mrs. Smith’s story. e b Dined by Japanese Envoys. Hon. E.

WHICH CURED HIM AFTER EVERY- THING ELSE FAILED, Patnful diseases are bad enough, but when a, man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebodings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. Thers isnoletup to the mental suffering day or night. Sieep is almost impossible, and under such & train men ese scarcely responsibie for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness until it was & question whether he had not better take a dose of poison and thus end all his throubles. But providential inspiration came to his aid in the shape of a combination of medicines that not only completely restored the genera: health, but enlarged his wet emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, an he now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his name and address may have the method of this wonderful treatment free. Now, when I say free I mean absolutely without cost, because I want every weakened wan 10 get the beaefit of my experience. Iam nota philanthropist, nor do I pose as an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures of weakened manhood who would be cured at onca could they but get such a remedy as the one that cured me. Do not try to study out how I efford to pay the few postage-stamps necessary to mail the information, but sead for it ana learn that there are a few things on earth that, although they cost nothing to get, are worth a fortune to some men and mean a life- time of happiness to mostof us. Write to Thomas Slater, box 2283, Kalamazoo, Mich., and the information will be mailed in & plain sealed envelope. OCEAN TRAVEL PACIFIC COAST STEANSHIP 0.
