Scene in the Sheriff’s Oificc When Sam Heiler Received Walking Pap:rs. prign in his own behali for the Populist nominatioa and has said some things tkat | Sheriff White d:d not think were compi- mentary. He spoke to Heller about it and some exciting conversation took place, Sueriff White threw off his coat and placed his pistol on the desk and was for settling the matter rieht oft. Deputies | interfered and peace was resiored. Heiler’s revocation was signed and Deputy Charles White took the star off his bieast. | Sheriff Waite has affidavits which he says Justify his action in dismissing Heller and Helier has declared his intentien of suing the Sheriff for damages and ma:tessance. The Heller incident was oniv_just dis- posed of when ex-Deputy J. W. Datton | entered the Sheriff’s office. There was more turmoi. In to-dav’s CALL was printed exclusively a story teliing of the romance connec'ed with the sudden re- tizement of Dut 07, The ex-deputy haa stated that he had been removed for po- litical reasons and this angered the Sher- iff, who at once prepared a two-column statement for publication setting forth in detail the reasons for discharging Dutton. The story of the Sheriff is the same as thai told in to-dauy’s CaLL, buat is replete with dates and deiails. It says that Dui~ ton, ““who is a gray-haired old man,” was persistently following and annoying a schoolgirl and that her mother had com- pluined. Dutton wrote frequently to her and the le'iers were received through the Gerneral Postoflice, *‘One day the mother went to the <chool which her daugnter attends. She called for parmission to search ber daughter's | desk. The permission was given but no letters were found. The mother then asked the proprietor of the school if he had seen any person rayin: attention to her daughter, and the educator asked, ‘Do you mean Mr. Dutton? Tune mother asked: ‘Who told you Mr. Datton was paying attention to my daughter? The schooimaster made no reply. “Ifound that Dutton had been in the habit of meeting the girl as she came bome from school and further thst she nad asked the mother if he might be permitted to take off his hatto the daugh- ter when he met her on the street. I also learned that when he was talking upout bridal trips he told the girl that he had three chiidran. “When [ finsily found out that Dutton hed broken his promise and wasannoying 1he mother by his attentions to the daungihter and eceiving myself and the county I gave him three hours in waich to tender his resignation. When ne made the appoiniment with the girl at Fruitva e | he was supposed to be doing the Sheriff’s work.” - Mr. Datton’s position in the matter is best told by himself. To-day he smd: “That I me( the voung lady is irue. That I wes, strange as it may seem, in view of the fact that I have arrived atanaze where it might be supposed that senti- menalitly had denaried, infatuated with her is also true. 'We met occa-ionally, al- ways in the daytime. The disparity of our ages was seriously discussee. She is in intellizerce farin advance of young ladies of her age. I was at first not aware of her minority, but when I asceria ned that fact it was mu ually agreed that no furtber interuizws be had uniilshe had ariivel at majority, which, I understand, wiil be in about a month or 0. *1 learned thai her mother was serious- ly opvosed on account of my age o my paying attention to her. I learned that she intended to visit White. I then at once took White into my confidence (strictest contidence), told him frankly | and truthinlly the whole story. He sug. wested that I see her no more. I have never seen her to speak to her since. I wrote her, however, telling her of my in- terview with White, and secured ner re- ly. b #What has the public to do with thisat- fair anyhow?

The Corinthians Close a Successful Yachting Season at Tib- uron. #‘The Corinthians are the people on the shores of Tiburon.” So sang the jolly yachtsmen at the Corinthians' c'osing jinks last evening, and to have heard their merry voices a landsman would have agreed that they were, The jinks, like ail other aifairs given by the popular yacht club, were, as one skipper put it, “wayfo in G.” From the hour that the hungry sailors arrived on the 6:3) boat from this side un- til the small hours in the morning the fun was fast and furious. The funny part of the eniertainment was in the hands of those clever joshers, Bob Mitchell, Dave McLaugh!in ana Vie Casmere, and their gags and clever stories during their prolonged stay behind the improvised footlights kept the ama- teur tars in a constant uproar. Tne musical part of the programme was furnishe 1 b7 Gritton and Mard and Nou- man and Coroline, and was well received. For soloisis, such fine singers as Ossie Franks, J. Wneaton Leonards, Billy Hal- let, Charles Leighton, Ben Tarbox, Dan Ward, Mat Kcefe, “Kid” Nelson and Dr. Gallwey were introducad and received many encores. During the entertainment the yachts- men were furnished with pipes und re- freshments. Thus ended one of the pleas- antest evenings that the Corinthians ever furnished. One of the amusing features of the even- ing consisted of stories by J. V. O'RBrien, the well-known telegraph ex:ert and sailor. He recounted some of his recent disastrous experiences on the tug Vigilant, when Captain Silovich and others offered life-pre «rvers to any landsman airaid of disaster. It was the general impression ot all present that O'Brisn was a success asa poet and scientist.

The System of Treatment Is Medically Termed Serum- * Therapy. Still Further Experiments Are Anx- jously Awaited by Many Medical Men. A siatement, backed by the New York B ard of Health, that Professor Maragli- ano, an Italian physician, has successiully treated seven cases of consumption since September 22, has been received with much <atis.action by the members of the medical profession in this city, and the re- port that the ravages of the dread disease have undoubted!y been conquered has aroused a great deal of interest among all classes of people. Phy-iciens are inclined to be conserva- tive, tuberculosis patients hopeful and the gener al public interested, to say the least. Piofessor Maraglianostates that tue treat- ment must be continued for one year, and on this account many medical men say they will withhold any remark: on the sui ject until the serum has been given a thorough trial. Othiers are sufficienily interesied at the presen: time with the remarkable results atiained by the profes- sor to frankly state their beiiefthat con- sumption can be cured if a serum can be discovered which will act on the tubercu- lar germ and hope that Professor Marag!i= ano is successful and th. New York Board of Health right in their siatements. Athough the evident ruccess of the se- rum has attractel genersl attention, tie doubt of many is based on the fact that a cure for the disease hkas constantly been sought for by scientists and medical men, and that very ittle success, if any, has heretofure been attained, and are of the opinion that at least Lve years of tests should conscientiously be made before the public was noutied of su saving patients affecied w on. Dr. Osear J. Mayer said: “It isa weil- kuown fact that incipient tuberculosis is curable if the paiient ha:pens to be one who can afford all the attention which should be given him by a repufable physi- cian. His»urroundinys shouid be what a pbysician terms correct and bis should be carefully aitend d to. Eusily assimilated foods should le uliowed him and codliver oil and other prepara- tions for building-up purposes shouid be freely given. he cases reported to have been cured by [Protessor Maragliano seem to have been well advanced before treat- ment was commenced, and although 1 hope the report is true witbout a shadow of coubt I am of the opinion that we should walt a reasonable time before becoming confident that the disease has been couquered. In cases of incipient consumption attention to the ypatient s the principal factor. Cases which are in tue second stage can, by carelul nursing and medical a tention, be corrected 10 a certain extent, and weight is ofien gained by them, but never in the history of medi- cine has'such a victim been absolutely cured, because it has heretofore been im- possible to completely erad.cate the dis- ease. Although Koch was ridicuied by many, as well as the public press, he has given to the worid a theory for treatment which has resuited in a vast amount of good, and will witbout dcubt accomplish much more. Serum lor inoculation to kill uisease germs is what the medical profession now bases its succes; for the cure of diseases formerly fatal to the pa- tient. “The principle on which this cure of consumption is based is much ithe same as cures for other diseases where serum is used by injection. We now have a cure for tetanus, diphtheria and erysipeias, and other cures will constanily bLe dise covered for other d seases as time goes on, but before patients who suffer with a disease nreviously incurable are told that their affliction is now an easy matter to eradica.e the serum or ot er form of cure should be tested tuoroughly and by com- setent men. 'We medical men seldom have a pa- tient with incipient consumnpiion, for the reason that ihe people who are not medi- cally educaie! do not ses the first symp- toms of the coming afll ction, and in con- seauence allow 1t to make inroads in their constiiution tosuch an extent that eradi- cation is impossible. I trust Profes:or Maragliano’s success is as raported. ““T'ne principle is sound,” said Dr. J. Al Williamson, “and I see no reason why a cure for con-umption should not be dis- covered. The system is what is termed serum-therapy, and, as tetanus and other formerly fatal diseases were and are suc- cessfutly treated, it is hard to determine where the efforts of scientist« and medicat men will stop. [am of the opinion tnat many cases pronounced to be consnmp- tion are wrongly diagnosed, and hence we can easily wait for further experiments on the part of Professor Maragiianc; but the resuit wiil firaily be attained, and I sinc rely hope it is uow. All diseases have a germ, and the serum <ystem is the only one which will attain success in the treat- ment of many. Serum-ther:py will ace complish wonders in the yeurs to come, and at the present time much is owing (0 it by t e medical fraternity.’” Dr. W. 0. Wilcox said: *The system is the right one, and consumption will be cured in the course oi time; but time alone will tell wheiher or not the serum used by Professor Maraxliano in New York will accomplish the pur ose. 1 hope the cure hus unot been misrepresented, for a Inrge percentage o! deaths throughout the United States and, in fact, the world are to the ravages of consumnption.” e fuct 1hat Professor Muragliano’s treatment of consumption has been avor- ably reported on by the New York Board of Heaith does not seem to impress Dr. G. J. Fitzgibbon, a member o! the local board of heaith, for ne merely states: “T me w Pozzoni’s Complexion Powbgr produces a soft and beautiful sking it combines every clement of beauty and diet d.
