The Detectives Investigating a Mys- terious Burglary in & Cloak House. Lilllan Mitchell, a rather preposses- sing woman, is locked up in the City Prison, charged with recelving a valu- able sealskin cape, knowing the same to have been stolen. Several days ago the police were no- tified that a sealskin cape had been stolen from a store on Kearny street. Detectives Ryan and O'Dea were de- tailed on the case, and by dint of in- quiry they learned that the stolen gar- ment was in the possession of the Mitchell woman. When seen by the detectives the woman at first refused to say where she got the cape, but finally admitted that she bought it from a messenger boy who is known as “Gimp” Morrisey. Last night the boy, learning that the detectives were anxious to see him, visited police’ headquarters and ex- plained how he came into possession of the cape. According to his ttory, he was walk- ing along Market street several days ago while delivering a message, when he picked up the cape, which was lying on the sidewalk. “I took it home,” he remarked, when telling the story, ‘‘expecting that the owner would advertise for it and re- ward me for my trouble. I scanned the newspapers the next day, but as the loss of the cape was not noted I con- cluded that the owner did not prize it very highly, and I determined to sell it. Meeting the Mitchell woman, I of- fered to sell it to her for $5. She gave me 50 cents, and promised to pay the balance in a few days. “A short time afterward she was ar- rested for receiving the cape and thrown in jail. Knowing the detectives were searching for me, I concluded to visit police headquarters and inform them how I came into possession of the garment.” While inclined to belleve the boy's story, the police intend to hold the woman, pending further investigation. | THREE BULLETS IN IS BREAST The Determined Effort of John Luhrs to *End His Life.

AN ORIENTAL WORSHIPS That the mechanical contrivance s A MACHINE AS A GOD. that are the delight of the present generation are a matter of mystery and awe to the untutored minds of the gentle Orientals was illustrated in a queer scene that was enacted in the lobby of Morosco's Grand Opera House several days ago. In that portion of the house are two machines into which people drop a nickel and are told their weight and are pleased with sweet music. A Jap, recently from his native soil, unused to modern invention, hap- pened to be near when some child had thus been parting with his nickel and watched the thing with awe. He waited around until there was no one evidently looking and then knelt down before the musical machine and started in worshiping it and praying aloud in his native tongue, every once in a while allowing his face to touch the ground. he with reverence approached the machine and again bowed low. ally he gained courage and placed a 50-cent piece on the Again he repeated his act, placing 50 cents more, but music was heard. still the soul of the great “machine’” After this procedure Gradu- scales, but no spoke not to him.

A Practical Illustration of How the Sanitary Corps Works in the Field. Five Surgeons Who Negleotsd to Show Up at the Drill'at Ingle- side to Be Investigated. Yesterday was fleld day for the Sani-| tary Corps of the Second Brigade, N. G. C., and the members of the corps who are | stationed in this city and the contingent from Oakland were on duty. There were wenty-six men of the corps, who were assisted in the performance of the work | they d!d by Company K, First Regiment | Infantry, Captain Cunningham. There were present of the medical de-| partment Colonel W. E. Hopkins of the staff of the commander-in-chief, sur- geon-general; Colonel John Galiwey, sur- geon on the division staff; Lieutenant- | Colonel S. F. Hanson,surgeon on the staft | of the Second Brigade; Major W. D. Mc- Carthy, surgeon of the First Regiment; | Captains P. J. H. Farrell and Thomas Rethers, surgeons of the First Infantry, | and Captain T. O. Rottanzi, surgeon of | the Fifth Infantry, also Major Hugh T. Sime of the Third Battalion of the First Infantry. The place first selected in the forenoon | was a piece of wooded ground north of the Ingleside race track, but it was found that there was not enough open territory to allow of the maneuvers that would | have to be performed and permission was | obtained of the Olympic Gun Club to have | the evolutions on the broad field on which | | they practice shooting at clay pigeons. In | the forenoon five squads of four men each | from the Sanitary Corps were, by a ser- geant, put through the drill with litters, | which was executed with a great deal of precision. After lunch provided by the | commissary department for the men of the two organizations and the officers, | the camp which had been established ou | | the site nirst selected was struck and the | . followed by an ambulance, by the medical department at the Pre | sidio, proceeded to the second site sel | ed, but there unexpected opposition met in the person of President M. C | len of the Club, who protested | | against the invasion by the troops. | While the president” was arguing with | Major McCarthy, who kad charge of the sanitary corps, some one suggested to Captain Cunningham to move his men forward, and an order to that effect was given. The men took up a position_300 jards south of the one at which they had | haited, the sanitary corps followed close behind, the ambulance was driven to a point still further south, and while the argument was sull In progress e Na- tional Guardsmen had established them- Selves ahd dared any one Lo put them Off. In the meantime a field hospital tent erected in short order, close to where the ambulance was stationed, another tent was pul_up about seventy-five yards south. The infantrymen were supplied with blank cartridges, and fifteen men were selected to be victims for the sani- 1y corps (0 WOK upon. lach had a tag attached to his coat, and on each was written the character of the injury he would receive in battle.

A number o volleys at various positions were fired. | but the fire of the enemy had a terrific | effect on the advancing men, for they fell | on all sides, and then the squads of the sanitary corps were called for duty. In| each case two comrades of a fallen man | would improvise a stretcher by crossing belts of thelr rifles, placing the wounded | man upon it and carrying him a short distance to the rear, where they could | lay him down and allow the sanitary | squad to take care of him. If the injury | | marked was a shattered leg and first aid | | splints were not serviceable, the men | | would use two rifles for splints and bind these in such a manner that the leg could not be moved. Proper bandages were ap- | plied to prevent hemorrhage, and the first | aid having been rendered, the wounded man was lifted from the ground by three men on one side and one on the othe then the lore man. releasing his hold, placed the litter under the patient, he was laid on it and hurriedly carried to | the first aid hospital, where he was &x-| amined by the surgeon in charge. If the| injury required additional dressing it was attended there, but if not requisite | the patient was placed in the ambulance | and taken to the fleld hospital, where | Captain Farrell examined the card and instructed those present as to what should be done to care for the injured in- | | dividual. The instructions were clear, | comprehensive and easily followed. | | “Each of the fifteen men had a different | {njury, and in that manner the members | of the corps had full opportunity to show | their skill in temporarily dressing wounds, and in every instance the work was cor- | rectly performed. The exercise the men | had required a great deal of activity, and | in many instances they had to carry patients more than 300 yards. | The surgeon-general cxpressed himself | well pleased with the drill, and stated that it is his purpose of making the corps the most efficient branch of the National | Guard. | The five surgeons who were absent are | Captain O'Brien of the First Infantry, Captains Dunn and Hammond of the Fifth Infantry, Captain Somers of the signal corps and Captain Fitzgibbons of | Troop-A. By their absence they put the corps to afreat deal of {inconvenience and imposed double duty on those who were there.

John McGrath, Who Assisted Lieu- tenant Burke When Shot, May Drive a Patrol Wagon. John MecGrath, who so ably assisted Patrol Driver Cashel in removing Lieu- tenant Burke from his perilous position | after he had been shot by T. P. Haynes, is on the road to a good position through the efforts of the citizens of Precita Val- ley and vicinity. It is probable that to- day Cashel will be given a star and an effort is being made to have McGrath succeed him in his present position as pa- trol driver at the Seventeenth-street po- lice station. A large meeting was held last evening in the hall of the Precita Valley Improvement Club and the follow- ing petition was drawn up: ‘To the Honorable, the Mayor, and the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco—Gentlemen: ‘We, the undersigned, hereby petition your | honorable body to appoint to the position | of patrol wagon driver John McGrath, the | young man that so bravely risked his own | life along with the driver Cashel. in their | efforts to rescue Lieutenant Burke while | the police were endeavoring to arrest the murderer, Theo Park Haynes.

One of the men is under arrest, and detectives are scouring the city for the other one. | The victim of the robbery is Miss Annie | B. Kedon, 4 Hyde sireet. Shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday morning Policemen Harrison and Ward heard a woman's screams coming from the direction of| Market and Van Ness, and they both ran in that direction. They saw Miss Kedon standing on the sidewalk and declaring that she had been robbed. She pointed to & man who was running along Oak | street as one of the men who robbed her. They gave chase, and after running three or four blocks they shouted that if the fugitive did not stop they would use their revolvers.

Was very nervousat times,and so weak I was hardly able to do any- thing. Was subject to headaches, also troubled with lencorrheea. After doe- toring for many months with different physicians, and getting norelief, I had given up all hope of being well again when I read of the great good Lydia E. Pinkham’'s Vegetable Com- pound swas doing. I decided immedi- ately to give it a trial. The result was simply pastbelief. After taking four bottles of Vegetable Compound and using three packages of Sanative Wash I can say I feel like 2 new woman I deem it my duty to announce the fact to my fellow sufferers that Lydia E.
