The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, April 9, 1898, Page 10

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1898, and kits are ready. The enlisted men fully understand that something im- portant in the way of change of station is In contemplation. To-day the First Infantry will parade in heavy marching order for inspection, and before night the order to move may come. Officers of the regiment know that secret instructions have been conveyed to the commanding officer, but they can hardly believe that the regiment will be ordered out of the department. The orders against any officer leaving the post without special permission from the command- ing officer of the garrison is regarded as significant. This order usually pre- cedes the order for a change of sta- tion. It is known that Colonel Miles would not post such directions if he | were not convinced that an order might be received any hour for the the Presidio for a ADY TO LEAVE THE PRESIDIO Orders Hourly Expected for the First U. S. Infantry to Go to the Front. A Regiment of the National Guard May Be Assigned to Duty at the Garrison. regiment to leave distant station. Directions have been received from the Secretary of War enjoining greater secrecy in regard to contemplated movements of the troops. The rule ap- plies to the engineer, ordnance and quartermaster corps and all other de- partments of the military service. The most accurate information obtainable is to the effect that the depot quarter- master of San Francisco has already arranged for the transportation of the First Infantry, but the negotiations have been conducted without taking the public into army confidence. At the Pesidio mounted guards patrol the roads and avenues of approach to the vicinity of the ten and twelve inch guns and the pneumatic dynamite guns of Fort Point. Pedestrians and occu- pants of vehicles are not permitted to halt in front of these immense weapons of war without being accosted and or- dered to move on by the sentinel who slowly walks his post on top of the | fortifications. The visitors are ex- | cluded from the barracks at Fort Win- fleld Scott.

Donations and Money for the Masonic Festival Coming From Every Side. THE REMINISCENT WAITER, {Edward Harrigan Drops Into Coffee John's and Meetsi an Old Acquaintance. HE hour was so late that the solitary stranger who had entered Coffee John's select rotisserle on Pacific street was obliged to rap three times ! With the handle of the knife he had helped himself to before he suc- ceeded in rousi: 7 the somnolent waiter, who was quietly dozing on the chair that he had tilted against the wall at the end of the place. Finally his efforts were rewarded by signs of animation in the figure, which, muttering to itself, first stretched one leg then the other, then slowly opened its eyes, one at a time, and, after gazing blankly into space for a moment or two, suddenly seemed to become aware of the presence of @ customer it had not before seen and whom it was obliged to serve, and, with a smothered cur:e, it arose to its full height of nearly six feet of ema- clation and moved in a surly manner down the aisle until it came to the occupled table, at which it stopped, and, resting one hand on the board and the other on its hip said: “What'll it be?” “Coffee,” was the laconic an- swer. “Coffee goes,” replied the waiter, and he at once seemed to jump into life, for raising his voice he shouted as though he was leading a storm- ing party against the walls of Morro Castle, “Coffee,” and started with surprising alacrity in the direction of the kitchen, whence he soon emerged with a cup of dark-looking liquid, which, together with two doughnuts, he deposited before the customer and was about to move away when nis glance rested for the first time on the features of that individual. The effect was electrical. He 8to ped short, a smile, which enveloped his entire chin, spread itself over his countenance and leaning over the table he said: “T'll be — if it ain’t old Ned Harrigan.

Peabody, Treasurer of the Festi- val Committee. HE enthusiasm over the coming Masonic festival is not by any means confinea to the Masons; it is gradually extending until it is laying hold of men who never thought of joining the order, and in every way they can they are helping things along. The merchants, irrespective of creed or fraternal affiliations, have brought forward articles of varying values to be exposed for sale in the booths. Sherman & Clay have donated an upright piano; Kohler & Chase have given an organ; Newman & Levinson figure on one hundred and fifty different books, proof that as many ladies of the collection committees called, and that they called not in vain; Louis Roesch has donated stamped and engraved envelopes, engraved note cards and s-uvenir postals sufficient to last the pavilion postoffice for the greater part of the festival, and there are many others, - ho in one way or anothc- have so far assisted nobly. Although the festival is nearly a month away those in charge are en- gaged, to the practical excl sion of all other business, .In.the preparations, The office of Charles L. Patton which once was the haunt of the ciient and the litigant, is now daily thronged with chairmen of committees, men with festival bills, men seekin: contracts, offering plans, ciscussing projects, plan- ning booths and decorations, things to sell and thin~s to see; offering advice or seeking tickets; looking for floor space or for concessions; wanting every- thing in fact that vivid imaginations can suggest, and Mr. Patton is ex- pected to attend to it all. It is lucky that his committees are wisely se- lected and willing to work. Over the sacred portal of the Temple there is a big sign as large and sensational as a circus poster, announcing to all that there is the head- quarters for the festival with a size of type and a veriety of ink that leads to the inference there is nothing else in the building but ‘eadquarters. The treasury of the festival committee is getting fat as a stone jug. E. Peabody, the treasurer, declares he has several thousand douars aiready in hand, and he will not even venture a prediction as to what there will be when the festiv.l is over. Two stone jugs will not resemble the money bags then; except in their capacity for getting full, and the safe will groan with the weight of all the gold. The surest sign of success, however, is the demand for tickets—a de- mand unceasing and ever growing, and one most willingly an. promptly kept supplied, ment of Lee rifles was complete and first class. | To-day Governor Budd, Adjutant- General Barrett and Brigadier-General Warfield will probably confer on the subject of assigning State troops to duty. Members of the guard fancy that Colonel Smith’s First Infantry, N. G. C., will be assigned to duty at the Presidio, although it is conceded that no regiment is hetter prepared for im- mediate and active service than the Fifth Infantry, commanded by Colonel Fairbanks. Either command would perform the guard and garrison duty at the Presidio. General Shafter, U. 8. A., command- ing this department, was in Bakersfleld yesterday, where he was Interviewed by The Call correspondent. The general had no information to give out regard- | ing military movements. It is known that his trip to San Diego was made | for the purpose of inspecting the forti- | fications at Ballast Point. Lieutenant Babbitt of the Ordnance Corps Is conducting experiments at Fort Point with powder for the big guns. Cavalry is in progress at the Presidio range. Owing to the fog yesterday morning firing at the 1000-yard range could not be conducted in a satisfac- tory manner. — LORD COLERIDGE'S UMBRELLA DECISION. The law as to umbrellas was settled once for all by Lord Coleridge in a {‘ea‘glng English case. His lordship eld: “Umbrellas, properly considered, are a part of the atmospheric or metero- logical condition, and, a% such, there can be no individual property right in them. In Sampson vs. Thompson, de- fendant was charged with standing on plaintifi’s front steps during a storm and thereby soaking up a large quan- tity of rain to which plaintiff was en- titled. But the court held that the rain was any man's rain, no matter where it fell. Tt follows, therefore, that the umbrella is any man's umbrella. In all ages rain and umbrellas have gone to- gether, and there is no reason why they should be separated in law. An um- brella may, under certaln circum- stancesgthe chief of which is posses- sion—taKe on the attributes of personal property, just as if a man set a tub and catch a quantity of rain water, that rain water will be considered as his personal belonging while it is in his | tub. But if the sun evaporate the wa- ter and it is rained down again, or if | the tub be upset and the water spilled, then the attribute of personal owner- | ship instantly disappears. So if a man | hold his umbrella in his hand it may | be considered a personal belonging, but | the moment it leaves his hand it re- § turns to the great, general, indivisible, | common stock of umbrellas, whither the law will not attempt to pursue it.” | So far as we know there has never been a successful appeal from this de- cision.—Chicago News, —_——————a Acquitted of Bigamy.

She testified that she received an injury to her head about eight years ago, by a fall from a buggy, and that at times she became temporarily insane. She said she must have had one of those fits when she married the second time, and’ i.e Jjury kindly gave her the benefit of their belief in her story. ——————— THE SHOUTING PATRIOT.

Wil Take Many Years to Duplicate the Models Consumed by Flames. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, April 8—Thé pattern storehouse of the Southern Pacific Com- pany, a large three-story building on I street, between Front and Second, was entirely gutted by fire to-night. The loss is practically incalculable, being estimated at anywhere between $200,000 and $1,000,000. All of the patterns used In the raflroad shops since they were first built, except those being used in the foundries at tae present time, went up In the flames, and to duplicate any article of molding now in use will necessitate the making of new patterns from the drawings on file in the office of the master patternmaker. There were at least 40,000 patterns In the build- ings, and all were consumed. While the origin of e fire is not known with certainty, it Is believed to have been started from the heating pipes which ran through the building. It Is estimated that it would take twenty men twenty-five vears to duplicate the patterns destroyed. It is extremely propable that the loss of the patterns will cause a big lay-off in the shops, as molders cannot possibly work until patterns have been made. MAIL CARRIED OUT BY MATE TILTON.

Lately he _.as been winding Congress- man Maguire of Calitornia up in tangle of anecuote. Congressman Maguire is short, fat, curly-haired and looks rather like Mason. Not long ago a man collared corridor, and said: “‘Can 1 have a minute with you? There's that matter, you _now, that you promised to_heip me about.” Maguire said he didn’t remember any- thing about it. ¢This is in reference to that—that position you were going to help me get,” went on the stranger. Maguire said that he did not think he had ever met his interlocutor. “Why,”. eeker, ‘‘you got a job for my brothe: -law and balled out my nephew, and— Then a light began to dawn on the Californian, and he said: ‘I am Congress- man Maguire of California.

And they all said that the Senator had prom- ised them help, and acted most confidently | that he would give it to them—no. con- | fident in that insistent, bold, whistle-to- keep-your-courage-up kind of a way, but | confident as people are when they have a | 8ood friend whom they know and on | whom they can depend. But it strikes me that if there are any men whom Senator Mason really does not want to see he might use Maguire very nicely as an understudy, and it also occurs to me that | before Maguire understood the state of | the case there may have been people who thought that Mason, in spite of .is cher- uble air of innocence and good will, was a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde character, who was one thing one minute and an- | other the next, and could not in the least be trusted. — e A LESSON IN FORESTRY.

How He Obtained Relicf. From the Democrat, Goshen, Ind. Gilbert Updegraff, a prosperous farmer living near Goshen, Ind., in jumping from his wagon on to a board. a few days ago, | met with a serious accident. It was feared at first that this accident | was aggravated by rheumatism, which ailment Mr. Updegraff was troubled with some time ago in an unusually severe form. In speaking of it he says: “About two years ago I was stricken with rheumatism, and for a year was se- verely troubled with it. It came on me suddenly during the winter, I don’t know what caused it, unless it was exposure, about the farm. i “It was the old fashioned rheumatism | and began in my lower limbs, gradually | working up until my arms, hands and | fingers became affected. My body ached | all over, especially my limbs, which were swollen and these by the following spnngi were almost entirely useless. I had toq hire all my work done that !Eflng and | summer, but did a little work in har- vest time. “I must have done too much, for soon after that I was confined to my bed for | some time. I had the family doctor, but | he didn’t do me any good. e finally said | he could not help me and advised me to | try the baths, but I couldn’t afford the | expense. Neither could I afford to be an invalid all my life. Inquiries were made | at the drug store for something that | would be helpful in my case. | ““The druggist recommended several | things, and tried some of them, but was not benefited until T used Dr. Wll-‘ liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I gave this remedy a falr trial, as I dia® the | others, and soon discovered that it was different from anytning I had tried. T found that this was a medicine that did what was claimed for it, and when I | had taken about a dozen dosés of the pills | 1 found that they were helping me. T continued taking them, and I am glad to- day that T did. Why that medicine actll-‘ ally cured me and I didn't take more than six_or seven boxes either. | “It was in January, 1867, that I began | taking the medicine, ‘and I was complete- | ly cured by the first of March. I began | early in the spring to do my work, and I | kept it up all summer. not missing a day. | I have never had any rheumatic troubie | with my limbs from that day to this.” | ““And are you positive that it was Dr. | Willlams’ Pink Pills for Pale People that cured you?” asked the reporter. | “‘Positive, why of course I am. Nothing | else did it. I did not take any other med- | icine at the time. and I was never better | until I began taking Dr. Willlams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I have taken noth- ing else since, and of course they are | what did the work.” Mrs. Updegraff agreed with her husband that “he was cured of a very severe case of rheuma- tism by these pills."” ‘What better proof could a person want than the above facts? This plainly shows that Dr. Willlams' Pink Pills for Pale People are unrivaled as a tonic for the blood. The secret of perfect health, strength and beauty is pure blood, and impure blood is the foundation of most diseases. . One of the first to discover this fact was Dr. Willlams, who years ago formu- lated a combination of vegetable reme- dies which acts on the impure and im- poverished blood, imparting those ele- ments that purify. vitalize and earich it, thus alding bodily functions. arousing every organ into healthful action. and in this way restoring the entire system to health and al'gor.
