IN NO FINANCIAL FIX. | | | | ki | His Home and Eusiness Relations Said to Have Been in a Happy Condition, 3.—Philias best known men Henry | | OAKLAND, May | Lamoureux, one of t} | lin town and secretary of the Remillard Brick Company, committed suicide to- night in a most mysterfous manner. He sought the dark. spot on Webster- treet wharf to end his life, and when he he fired a bullet through his head. missile passed clear through the brain, and the unfortunate man died just two hours later at the Receiving Hospital. as the fire bells rang to-night at 9 o'clock the watchman on Webster-street wharf heard the report of a pistol. He had noticed a solitary man walking out on the wharf, but as the night was fine, and there some moonlight, it was not at all unusual to notice people walking | out on the wharv he watchman paid no heed to the stranger till he heard the | i ‘R shot, and when he went in the direction | of the report he found a man lying on | his back on the wharf. The police office was at once told of the fact and the pa- | trol wagon took the wounded man to the | eceiving Hospital | When the watchman found the would- | | be suleide he was still breathing, but | totally unconsclous and not a word did | | he utter, but graduaily sank at the hos- | | pital until he breathed his last. : | "Drs. Porter and Stratton operated on | | the skull and tried to stop thehemorrhage | of the brain, but their efforts were of no use, for the bullet had ploughed com- plefely through from one temple to the | other. At the hospital the wounded man was | at once recognized as P. H. Lamoureux, | who has been in business | year He was for a long time foreman | of the Remlillard Brick Company, and for | some time has been the secretary. He | married into the Remillard family some | years ago and had three children. The‘ | family has lived for a long time in a | L\'(‘l’)‘ comfortabl home at %G | street. Not the slightest reason can be advanced for this desire to end his life, and his relatives and frlends are totall at a loss to account for his action. He ever appeared to be morbid and has er been known to hint at taking his life ar to express any opinion that could possibly lead to the supposition that he was otherwise than perfectly contented { with his lot. His home relations are said by his nephew, Phil Remillard, to have been most pleasant, and he was in good finan- soclal circles. _ Mrs. Lamoureux arrived at the hospital just a minute after her husband had breathed his last. The effect upon her | was so great that for a time she needed the attention of the doctors. She per- | sisted, however, in seeing the body before being "taken to her desolated home, and the scene in the hospital was the most pitiful in_years. “I am totally at a loss to account for finances are in good shape. everything in the company is all right and the whale affair 5 a profound mystery.” |~ Philias Lamoureux had for some | vears taken anactive part in Republican | politics and had frequently been elected a delegate to city and county conventions | from the 8ixth Ward. He was a member of Oakland Commandery, Knights "em- | plar, of University Lodge of Odd Fellows | and ‘of Live Oak Lodge. F. and A. M.

Judge Hebbard yesterday rendered a judgment that s of importance to the local banks. Some few weeks ago arti- cles of Incorporption were filed by the German-American Bank which was for- | m('rlg known as fhe California Mortgage { and Savings Bank. The German Savings | and Loan Society, fixomrrsny known as the | German Bank, which has been in exist- | ence for nearly thirty vears, at once com- menced proceedings to enjoin the newly named corparation from dfih\F business under the corporate title. claiming that there was a possibility of its interests be- | ing injured by a confusion of names. | temporary injunction was granted pend- | ing the proceedings being heard, The German-American Bank interposed a_de- murrer to lhe;rovm‘dlnfls commenced by the German Savings and Loan Society and the matter was argued at length by counsel representing the contesting cor- porations, Judge Hebbard, in a lengthy opinion filed vesterday, overruled the demurrer, and the temporary injunction still re- mains in force and effect. After citing from many cases bearing pn the point involved Judge Hebbard held that the new corporation had no right to use the proposed name. ———— THE PASSION PLAY. | Delightful Afternoon Entertainments at the Baldwin Theater.

Wincherdon, a commer- cial traveler from Birmingham, whose business keeps him almost constantly on the road, relates in the Sunday News the dangers to health resulting from constant change of residence and the way he overcame the usual injuri- ous effects. He says: One thing people traveling cannot very well avoid is the constant change in water and food; the stomach never has an opportunity to become accustomed to anything and in a few vears or much sooner the average trav- eling man becomes a hopelessdyspeptic. For several years I suffered more or less from indigestion, sour stomachs, headaches, distaste for food, often no appetite, gas on the stomach and the usual unpleasant effects of imperfect digestion. Nearly every traveling man has his favorite remedy for different troubles and I tried all of them with indifferent results. Finally on the train between Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day, I overheard a conversation between two ladies, one of whom had suffered se- verely from indigestion and stated she had been completely cured by a remedy which she called Stuart’'s Dyspepsia Tablets; I remembered the conversa- tion because it directly interested me, and at the next town I inquired at the first drug store and bought a package for 50 cents, and from that day to this I have never been without them. They are pleasant tasting tablets, not a se- cret patent medicine, but composed of vegetable essences, pure pepsin, fruit salts and Golden Seal; being in tablet form they never lose their good quali- ties like a liquid medicine would, but are always fresh and ready for use. I carry a box in my pocket continu- ally, and whenever I see any symp- toms of indigestion I take one, also one after each meal, and for a year and a half I have not lost a day by reason of poor health and can eat anything and relish what I eat; my digestion is ab- solutely perfect as far as I can judge from my feelings, and although there may be other stomach medicines just as good as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets 1 do not know what they are. Certainly for people who travel they are far ahead of any liquid medicine, as they are so convenient, they can be carried pocket and used whenever needed. T believe they are sold bv all drug- who will try them will agree with that for indigestion and stomac! trouble Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are widow and three children, unequaled. 3 There were | | | | | when the blonde | fore the Jefferson | tion: *What are you to do if you have no | 6n gunday A vig-| ard and Third streets and knocked her Q the blonde subsided, evi- | gidawalk, and she was picked The ideals of Philistia are the vagaries | land | solvent stock broker, ascinates and furnishes | claimed to be due her. 57 o . dress from the comfortable necessity to the oranmental, ugly, disfiguring garb of modern time. * ““With men,” said the speaker, “clothes represented utility first, with women it was fashion. Women's dress was Indica- tive of the wealth of her owner in anclent times. Now women's dress is the expres- sion of the affluency of the man to whom she is attached, a conspicuous indication of her husband’s or father's wealth. The facilities of manufacture have made clothing common and that has brought about the changes of fashion. “The natural effect of fashions on char- acter {s that they destroy the fundamental love of beauty; they make us vain; they develop a love of conspicuousness; the) make us morbidly consclous; destroying independence of character. The constant change of fashion destroys stability fosters triviality and encourages se vility of attitude toward people we realiy do not respect—those who lead the fash fons. Therefore there is need of dress re- form. ““The dress of woman now expresses the status of woman long gone by, because | it violates the principles of beauty and | health. | “Women will neyer dress rationally till they know how thefr body is made and when woman expresses her own efficiency | and not frivolity. | .“Reform in woman's dress must come | from within. A woman's dress must be what she is. Woman must want to be well, beautiful and lovable. Dress re- form is a matter of development of the whole human race, making the outward r?sgond to the inner.” This paper called Mrs. Carr to the dis- cussion, and she declared that as soon as man approved of dress reform all women stood ready to adopt it. Professor C. A. Duniway_chastised the press in his paper “Socidl Functions and the Newspapers,” Professor Duniway, in true pedagague fashion, went back to primitive days and traced the press from its glorious origin | to the present degenerate times. He sympathized with the news-demanding ublic and the editor, whose ideals he | eclared were shattered in the interest of | the business office. | “The newspaper in modern times," he sald “is said to stand for the utmost lib- | erty of expression. But It represents the ineuleator of some particular doetrine, is the, mouth piece of some trust, some political party. The editor is ruled by the business office, and the reporter who goes out is from that same business of- | fice standpoint told to ‘roast’ this man | and praise this one. “The ideal editor cannot exist.
