The at promised to be a cheerful, capable villing helpmate surprises her husband by proving a ly, nervous, fretful and elplessinvalid. This unfortunate outcome of “Love’s young dream’ may be pre- vented or remedied by resorting to the night medicine for troubles of this nature. The right medicine is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. Over 90,000 women have said 80 in unsolicited letters to its discoverer Dr. R. V.

So Teddy Tourtillott, who a good fig- Re- publican before he ente of the State at Agnews, was slated for the position of secretary to the medi- | cal superintendent by Would-be Gov- | ernor Gould.

He was m bookk2cper to the steward with a ary of $7% a month. A significant fact in connectien with the eiection of Tourtillott was that he was not nominated by Gould, but by Fiale. a Republican. But Gould’s craving for fat places at Agnews for his pets was not satisfied. He imported Miss Louise D. Bambauer from Merced and made a place for her at the asylum. But this was only the entering wedge for something more in- fluential and lucrative. White had been conceded the place of matron, and had named Miss a Royce for the position. Miss Royce fulfilled all her duties faithfully and well, but by a persistent course of nagging and spy- ing, aggravation and insubordination, Miss Bambauer incited Miss Royce to such a pitch of indignation that in a moment when self-respect rose superior to self-interest, the matron resigned. Since then Miss Bambauer, under in. structions issued by Gould, has been acting as matron, and is spoken of as the successor of Miss Royce.

Mr. Gould made the motion, and when the grounds of his action were asked for, he demanded action on his motion as a personal favor, emphasizing his re- quest by his vehement tones and ex- traordinary dictatorial demeanor. “Mr. Hale stood in and declared that cour- motion should be adopted as a tesy to Mr. Gould, because chairman of the management commit- tee. The motion was adopted. “Subsequently I was recommended by the board to have an interview with Mr. Gould to adjust the matter of the reinstatement of my wife.

This reason was given at a caucus called by Gould, at which he, Hale and White were | present. The caucus was held just the board meeting, at which as discharged. the regular | en he meeting Mr. m asked why Gould wished to discharge Mrs. Williams. Dr. Curnow spoke up and said: ‘Mr. Gould, per- | haps she knows too much of the crook- | ed work of your brother.’ | “Gould replied that he wanted her | dismissed for personal reasons. The vote was taken and Gould gained his point ng on the suggestion made by | the other members of the board I called | on Mr. Gould in his office in San Fran- cisco to endeavor to secure the rein- statement of my wife. “I introduced myself to Mr. Gould, but he snowed a Gecided aversion to granting me an interview when he learned that I was the husband of the woman whom he had caused to be un- justly discharged. I informed him that I had called in regard to her reinstate- ment. He attempted to bring the meet- ing to an abrupt end, but I finally pre- vailed upon him to listen to me by curt- telling him some unvarnished facts. Our interview lasted more than an lieve you treated my wife un- justly,’ I said. ‘She had always done her duty and had received many rec- ommendations in reference to the same.” I showed him the recommenda- tions, and he answered that I did not know all the workings of the case. Your wife has been made the cats- v’ he said, ‘of a dirty crowd of con- spirators, who wish to throw my- brother out of the employ of the asy- lum.’ “T -eplied that h: was mistaken. I told him that my wife had reported to me at once the fact of having observed Mr. Tourtillott, Gould’s half brother, come out of the room of Mrs. Madiran, which is located in a different and dis- tant part of the building from Tourtil- lott’s, at an unseemly hour of the night. T informed him that my wife considered this a flagrant breach of good conduct and that she was greatly disturbed with fears of the trouble that such ac- tions would eventually precipitate in the asylum. I further told him that I had instructed Mrs. Willlams to be truthful in the matter and to let the blame rest where it should. “Thereupon Mr. Gould stated that he had sent a resignation to his brother immediately after hearing the accusa- tion against him; that his brother signed it at once and returned it to him to be read at the next regular meeting of the board. He added that he had subsequently investigated the charges made by my wife and had ar- rived at the conclusion that she was suffering from mental hallucination, and that there was no truth, to his mind, in the charge. ‘If there were any truth in it,” he sald, ‘my brother would have to go immediately. I would not stand such conduct if it were my own father.’ “I told him that others had seen the same things witnessed by my wife; he was | | to the ex-matron that poor Teddy, that | | is Tourtillot, was mixed up in a pretty duty | | cular attention was that Mrs. Madigan | there until after 4 a. m.

I informed him that the ex-matron told me that Mi Fogarty had seen the lights in Madigan’'s room burning from 12 o'clock until a little after 4 in the morning; that at the latter time Mrs. Madigan entered her room, extinguish- ed the lights and retired; that the rea- son the burning lights attracted parti- ould have been im her own room, ac- rding to the rules of the establish- ment, at 9 o'clock, but did not reach o further substantiate the correct- s of my wife’s charges I told Mr. jould that Dr. Sponogle had remarked bad scrape, but they had sufficlent pull to get him out all right, and that the other people were kicking because they didn’t have so good a show. “At this point he interrupted me with show of anger, saying, me you might just as well consider our interview at an end. I have had to do with such bluffers before.’ “I quietly told him the interview was not over, that I was not on any such errand, but that I merely wanted him to do justice to my wife and -that he must admit that she was neither a malicious person nor a liar. I told him that I did not propose that my wife should be crucified for the sins of others. The interview, which lasted about half an hour longer, concluded by his saying that I must excuse his display of temper, as he was suffering from a nervous headache. He shook hands at parting, expressed cordial ap- preciation of the part I had taken in the matter and gave me the warmest assurances that justice would be done my wife. He declared he would talk it over with the other members of the board and that he had no doubt in his mind but she would be reinstated. He added that if a motion were made for her reinstatement he would make no objection, but would content himself by remaining quiet and allowing the board to dispose of the matter as it saw fit. He requested me to see one of the other members and have him make the motion. “Afterward Gould came down here to San Jose and said to Hale and Cur- now, two of his colleagues, who with him compose the Gould clique, ‘Wil- liams has got you turning in your beds at night under the spurs of a guilty conscience for the way you treated his wife. I gave him a nice little send off, because it was policy to do so, but if that bluffer thinks he can run me I will show him that he is mistaken.’ “‘Before the next meeting of the board he held a caucus over the matter and was very emphatic in his demand that the matter of my wife's reinstate- ment be not acted upon. He intimated that we would get tired of the contest and would soon be content to remain/ silent, and would not file any charges against his brother in connection with the woman scrape. His wishes were obeyed. The meeting following this was that of Wednesday, the result of which {8 know known. “I shall now certainly press the charges, and only wish that action on the matter could be hastened. I am ready at any time to present my case.” —_—— WILLIAMS ASSAILED BY DETECTIVE FROST Fistic Fncounter Growing Out o? the Expose at the. Agnews Asylum. SAN JOSE, July 14.—Charles Wil- liams, husband of Olivia Willlams, who was subjected to indignities at the hands of Dr. Sponogle, had an encoun- ter with Erwin Frost at the latter’s of- fice this afternoon. Williams received a black eye, but otherwise was unhurt. He swore to a warrant before Justice Gass, charging Frost with battery. The latter's trial was set for July 18, and he was released on his own recog- nizance. Williams was seen at his home at Santa Clara to-night. He sald that vesterday evening Frost told him to tell Trustee White he wanted to see him. This Willlams did, and to-day he went into JFrost's office to give him White’s answer. Willilams says Frost took him into his back office and closed the door. He says he told him, “Mr. ‘White says he has nothing for you to sale, for thethought of these Peerless Bargains will always be a bright spot upon the tablet of your memory.
