Record Review, Auctions, Sales and Notes, Bat little change in the existing condi- tion of affairs in real estate circies has manifested itself during the week just past. A few of the dealers state that the inquiry for residence property is better than it has been for some time. Iithere is anything that suits a real-estate broker beiter than actual sales itis to tind the in- quiry for property increasing, as indicat- ier condition of the mark: t at no date far in the future. Tuere is plenty of money to be had as loans provided the security is “‘gilt-edge.” In fact, so true is this that several of the banks formerly refusing to loan money at less than 7 per cent were forced to come down a no'ch to 64 per cent, which rate had been offered tor a long time by the Hibernia Savings and Loan Socie!

At the beginning of the i Ce | present contest it was an accepted cou- } R Davis. [ dition that Mr. Davis and Mr. Hilborn | Beiore adjournment the ban of secrecy | was removed from the commitiee and the two candiaates, ana it was understood that the deiiberations are at an end. Several ways were proposed of arriving | the determination of the respective hof the two men. From the first s easily seen that A. B. Nye and Stratton were a majority for and that Pardee had only Senater Earl upon whom he can depend. | The tirst plan proposed was that of hold- ing a primary about two months from now. Each man was to be at liberty 1o | make a canvass before the primary, which was lo be coniucted by the ordinary method. Tk pizn was favorable to Dr. Pardee, but Mr. Davis did not approve of it. Several objections were mad» 1o it. It was then proposed toask a commiitee of prominent men to desiznate a method | by which it should be known which man was the stronger. 1t was suggested tha J. D. Spreckels, M, M. Estee, Senator Per- | kins and J. C. Felton te asked to con- sider tue matter and submita plan that both should bind themseives 1o accept. e was_in favor of this plan, b Davis and Senator Stration were op- posed to it. From eacu ward and e to be picked out four hun- names. These names were selected from the Great Register by the committee, assisted by two special com. mittees from each ward and townshir, who were to act only while their ward or township was being considered. ‘ Then two couriers were to be appointed | ¥ hose daty it should be to take five names | a time out of a box which had been | | | S 3 g properly shaken up and carry ballots to the parties whose names they neld. These parties should seal their ballots and they | should be returned by the couriers 1o the committee and kept sealed until all the wards and townsbips had been thus treated. This scheme was very carefully out- linei by Mr. Davis, who had a type- written covy of a'l the details. It rather amused Senator Earl, who said that if | there was to be so much shaking of the | box it would be betier to use dice and do it all in the committee-room and save a | vast amount of time, labor and expense. | This plan was not considered 1o be | practicable by Dr. Pardee and Senator Earl, and they said they could not agree | toit. They declared it to be altogether too elaborate and more trouble than a test primary. When 'his stage was reached there was a discussion regaraing the violation of the pledge of secrecy that the committee had raken. Senator Stratton admitted having had a talk with a newspaper man, but denied being responsible for any of the stuff that was published. This was not at all pleas- ant to Mr. Nye, for he had read in another paper details of their progress, which he had pledsed with the others not to pub- lish in the Enquirer, of which he is the managing editor. Mr. Nye was compli- mented on having stuck to his pledge, although his doing so had placed bim in an embarrassing posiiion.

This is regarded as sig- | nificant and indicates ihat on the part of | gome at least there i; no particular desire to end the present struggle between Par- | dee and Davis until the opinion shall| | have gone abroad that there is no hope of | barmony. These facts are causing some alarm to | the friends of both Pardee and Dayis, and | have increa-ed the zeneral desire to haaten flict. Thereis a effort being mad~ bv both the iriends of Pardee and Davis to prevent the least sugeestion of unfriendliness or rcandal to pervade the contest. Each man being thoroughly loyal to the party is aware that the balanuce of the State will ensily grasp any opening that | may be made at the pre ent time to get in blows on the man who <hall ultimately be successful.

Married at Salt Lake, and Will Reside in ths Gay Fremch Oapital. Ever since Jimmie Swinnerton, the artist, left the Examiner's employ some- thing more than a week ago there have been persistent rumors about town of his approachin: marriage. It was said that be was soon to be wedded to Miss Thalia Treadwell, formerly of San Jose and a sister-in-law of Joseph Nolan, the shoe merchant. The utmost secrecy was preserved by the pariies whos+ names have been coupled, and neither would affirm nor deny the report. Atone time it was said thatan elopement was on the tapis, and ihe friends of both were on the qui vive, expecting an announcement of the mar- ringe. But they were disappointed. Oa Saturday, however, Miss Treadweil gave up ber apartments at the Baldwin and took the train for the Eas Mr. Swinnerton was about town until Sunday, when he bade his friends good-by and left for New Yo Before going he admitted that Miss Treadwell and him- self were to be married, and stated that tiey would proceed directly to Paris, where they would reside. A telegram re- ceived from Salt Lake last night an- nounced that Mr. Swinnerton had been married and that he and his bride left supposed that Miss Treadwell awaited her affianced in Salt Lake and that the ceremony was per- formed there. Miss Treadweil comes from a family well known throuzhout the State on ac- S count of their wealth and social position. She resided for a number of yearsin San Jose, but for the past three years has been | in Europe. She has an independent for- tune of her own.

Arsenic Spray on the Vines Almost Causes a Terrible Tragedy. After Thorough Measures for Relief All Those Effected Re- cover, ALAMEDA, Cav., Oct. 13.—Five chil- dren of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Parker of Oak | street, between Alameda and Encinal | avennes, had a narrow escape from death | last night from arsenical poison. Besides their usual supper the family had some grapes. Neither of the parents ate any, bu: all of the children partook, one of | them, a boy of 7, eating more than any of the rest. | Along 1n the night some time all five of the children were taken violently ill. Dr. Tisdale was finally summoned, as the sufferers appeared to be getting wors and after examining and questioning thero he decided that it was a cas: of arsenical poisoning. | He gave the usual remedies and suc- | ceeded in relieving all but the youngest | boy promptly. He had eatea the larger share of the fruir, and was unconscions when the doctor arrived. However, after | s hard struggle the little fellow wes | brought around ana will probably recover. | The only apparent exp'anation of the mysterious poisoning is that the grower of the grapes had been spraying his vmesl with a solution containing paris green, in | order to kill parasites of some kind, and ! that soms of the poison had adhered to | the fruit and was eaten with it. All dan-| ger could be prevented, the attending | physician says, by thoroughly washing any grapes or other fruit in running water | before eating. Althougn the children have had a nar- | = row escape no serious resuits are looked for, o g to the prompiness and thor- | ouvhness of the measures adopted for | relief. BVIL DABITS AND CHRONIG DISEASES Straight Talk of Physicians at| the Civic Philanthropic Congress. How the Human Race Is Degen- erating and Drifting Towara Extinction. Special Dispateh 10 Tae CALL | BATTLE CREEK, Micn., Oct. 13.—At : tha afternoon session of the Civic Pnilan. | E. thropist Congress, Dr. Kress of the sani- | tarium in this city made some bold charges. His paper was on the relation | of hubits of life to chronic diseases. Both | acute and chronic diseases, he claimed, are due to evil habits, and owing to bad | living cf people, are on the increasein | 1his country. People are becoming degenerate, ana one of the chief nieans of producing this national condition is the universal prac- tice of beer-drinking. Tobacco, he assert- ed, is also a national curse, and a major- | ity of the patent medicines and many drugs in common use aie deleterious. Meat-eating also proda, disease. Dr. Kellogg said, in part, at the nnar-‘ noon session: Notwithstanding our marvelous accumula- | tons of weaith and wisdom, we are certainly | going down physically toward race extine- | tion.” This essertion will doubtiess appear in | the highest degree reckless, and perhaps ab- surd, in the face of the well-known ‘act that | the average length of human life has been doubled within the last two centuries, But vital statistics are not the true measure of the cousti'utional vigor of the rece; the | average lengti of life does notrepresent the | vital capacity of the race. The true measure | is the number of individuals per thousand or m:llion who atiain great age. Sanitarians pride themseives on having | saved millions oi lives, and the credit ciaimed | due. Nevertheless, we must not see ia eat incresse of the average of numan life an indication that by coxtinuation of tae same method jongeyity may be indcfinitely or | even grea'ly incrensed. | It is high time that society gave more serious | atiention to he great class of bankrupts by heredity, from which springs a greater share of crimes and criminals, cranks, lunatics, fan. at cs and imbeciles. The remedy to be found is the cultivation of privaie hygiene. More attention mus: be glven 10 the training of the individual; men and women must be made to see tha: the prevalent conditious of our modern civilization are anti- nntural and tend to the deterioration of the vitai forces and tne devel pment ef diseases. | So long as m egards his body as a harp of pleasure to be played upou while its strings can be made to respond, so long will he eon- tinue to travel dowvn the hill of physicai de- cadeice and degeneration, in svite of quaran- | {ine laws and (e most nuinuto sanitery regu- tions. ————————————————— KEW TO-DAY. “EBEUREKA, we have 1ound itl" An absolute, permanent and kindly vegetable cure for the tobacco habit.
