She Pleaded With Her Eyes, but Stern Judge Conlan Says She Must Be Punished. A comely little woman with black halr and a hesitating. eye had the temerity to attempt to make a “mash” on Judge Con- lan yesterday, and now she, is sorry that she did 1t. She is Mrs. Nellie Carlson, the wife of a longshoreman living on Langton street, and she was charged by her husband with being a ‘“common drunk.” She is the mother of five children, the youngest be- ing only eight months old. The case came up for hearing yester- day morning, and while her husband was testifying Mrs. Carlson took a seat close beside him. The Judge wheeled rouna on hfs chair and faced husband and wife.

Special Dispatch to The Call CAMP MERRITT IS : IN BAD CONDITION DECLARED A PUBLIC NUISANCE BY THE HEALTH BOARD. Health' Officer Gallwey Says That There Is Great Danger of Its Spreading Infectious Diseases. Camp Merritt has been condemned as a nuisance by the Board of Health. This action was taken yesterday after a re- port prepared by Health Officer Gallwey had been read to the members of the board. It was conclusively shown by the report that the camp was in poor sani- tary condition, and that unless it was removed there was danger of the spread of infectious diseases. The United States Government officlals arrived at the same conclusion a few days ago, and steps were at once taken to remove the volun- teer soldiers to the Presidio. Dr. Gall- wey was instructed to notify the owners | of the property now occupied by the troops to abate the nuisance as soon as the soldiers leave the camp. | Dr. G. E.

These are the actions which Dr. Par- dee now condemns, but for which he alone 1s responsible. Now, when the doctor heads a state- ment, “The Mask Off,” one is inclined to ask, which mask? Is it the mask of | “the creature of the rallroad, the water . | company and the gang,” which Dr. | Pardee declared are the constituent ele- | ments of the Republican party? Is it | the mask of “independent politics” or | of the “bolter” or the mask of any other of the many disguises assumed by the doctor during the past few years? These questions he alone can answer. A week ago the doctor stated that the publication of some of his own speeches was done for the purpose of opposing him politically and for the further pur- pose of falling into the hands of his opponent and the railroad company at the proper time. Since the doctor gave vent to this expression he has taken another turn on his political wheel, and In his notorious “The Mask Off” article he says ‘“the atm was to kill off the strongest candidate, or else to equalize the forces of the two that they might kill one another.” This twist of the Pardee thinking machine inspires h-\;;e l}‘ial the doctor may yet become rghionler - | rational enough to be at least logical, r)h“vfl;__ 5‘}?}5’0‘_‘ t and those who have the interests of They may have | Republicanism at heart are now confi- dent that within another week the doc- i tor will undergo another revolution and | finally discover that there are not two | Republican candidates in this county, | and consequently one cannot kill off t other, however much this may be | desired. 4 But thé independent candidacy of Dr. Pardee is no longer taken seriously in this county.

PARDEE’S OLAIM | Senator El Denison did not possess much of an estate outside of his interests the news b ss when he died. This on his will was filed for probate, s0 the petition of his wife for let- ters of administration. The will of the deceased Senator was written in October, eight years ago, and hs the entire estate, , to the widow and to his two ers, Harry Denison and Joseph L. The brothers receive $l0w aplece to be held by the to pass i1 daughters and h! The petition states that the estate consists of stocks, | notes, bonds and real estate of the ap- proximate value of $0.000, but it is be- leved to be much greater. months ago Senator Denison incorporated his ¢ and other interests on t d in the widow’s estimate. bro 1 says: *“I do give and ole value of my estate, onal, unto_my beloved on, and I do request he said estate thers t ueath for the comfortable mainte- q d f nance of herself and children, and that at her decease she leave the residue of sald to our two daughters, Olive and and to my s:efison Harvey Slo- per, share and share alike.

In Justice to Her Other Children the Mother Decides to Fight the Legal Battle to the Bitter Within ten days, the limitation allowed | by law, Mrs. Veronica C. Baird will file her answer to the suit brought by her dau , Marie Baldwin, wife of Barry Baldwin Jr., prayving for the return of stocks valued at $43,000. The suit, le it came as a surprise to the members of the Baird family, was not altogether unexpected. Mrs. Baldwin n: freely discussed the suit with her brother, John R. Baird. No later than Tuesday afternoon she promised to delay the matter, but nevertheless with or without her knowledge the suit was filed that very afternoon. A peaceful arrangement, provided such a thing had been possible, would have pleased Mrs. Baird, who feels keenly the notoriety thrust upon her. Now, how- ever, there o chance of & compromise, ng that In justice to her- er children the suit must smarts keenly under the charge brought by her daughter, in which she alleges that her mother advised her to_cast off and abandon her husband. John R. Baird, in his mother's name, took special exception to that clause of the complaint, and stated that although his mo' r had never become reconciled marriage to young Baldwin, still she would never advocate measures that might prove harmful to her daugh- ter’s happiness. ‘“Marie lived with us for many months after her marriage,” Mr. Baird explained, “and although my mother never saw her husband, Mr. Baldwin visited his wife continually. Their child was born in our home, and up to a few days ago Marie was a constant visitor at the house. She is a very fitful girl,”” Mr. Baird continued, “and I suppose that the suit was filed by her while in one of her capricious moods.” John Baird attains his majority within three days, and to show his unbounded | confidence in his mother he proj turn over his inheritance to her keeping. — e THE FIRST PILOT. ses to or safe- _ H.

A few years after this he sold his property for a half interest in the Hector, a steamboat which was built to ply between San Fran- cisco and a point far up the San Andreas Creek.

C, July 20.—Ac- cording to advices brought by the Em- press of India from Hongkong, the | chief news of the moment is that Ma- | nila is ready to surrender. Not that the Archbishop and captain general are going to voluntarily capitulate be- | s R e fore they are compelled to do so, but that the backbone of resistance is un- questionably broken, and upon a real show of force and intention to bom- bard the town if the officials do not | give in, the Spaniards will haul down the Spanish flag. Intimations to this effect are recelved from many sources. The correspondent of the Hongkong Press, writing under date of June 23, | says the chief subject of discussion in | Manila, in Cavite and in the American | fleet is the meaning of the presence of ‘! five German men-of-war and one transport or supply vessel in port. I | have just interviewed a leading Eng- | lishman here on the subject. He un- | eigners in Manila, as well as Spaniards, ;reg&rd it as a remarkable demonstra- tion. | I am sure,” he continued, “that the | Spaniards have received encourage- | ment from such a naval display. A | Spaniard to-day told me that the com- ing of a large German squadron was construed by him and leading Spanish officials as a direct act of friendly In- terest and to warn the Yankees that they could not go too far.

It now ap- pears, according to authentic informa- tion in the hands of Consul Wildman, that out of 491 men on the Reina Chris- tina, 364 were killed; only 127 left the ship. An officer who was aboard and is now In prison tells me that one | could not step a foot in any direction on her decks without coming into con- tact with pieces of flesh of dead bodles. Such was the power of the Amer- | lcan guns and the skill of the Ameri- can gunners. Manila papers continue to publish monstrous stories about the Americans and do not hesitate to employ the most contemptuous epithets, all of which are | whetting the appetites of the Ameri- | cans to get even with them for un- called-for insults. More seizures of arme are reported from Hongkong. It is suspected that the arms and ammunition were to be shipped to the Philippine insurgents. rounds of Mauser ammunition, 208 breech-loading Mauser rifles and 112 muzzle-loading Enfield rifles. —_— - AGUINALDO FIGHTING FOR ANNEXATIO™ | NEW YORK, July 20.—The World's | Hongkong correspondent sends the fol- { lowing: | the Philippipne insurgents, is fighting for annexation to the United States. | The Cortes and Basa famili»s and | other families of influence on the | island have been giving money freely to buy arms for the insurgents on as- surances from the United States Con- sul here, Mr. Wildman, that they could ! trust to the American epirit of justice. | |SEWING WOMEN TO ACT IN CONCERT HOW THEY WILL OVERCOME | CHINESE COMPETITION.

It is as follows: Under Schedule C of the excise law, medi- cines or preparations made and sold, or re- moved and sold, wherever the person making eny private formula or occult art for making or preparing the same, or has or claims to have, any exclusive right or title to makin or preparing them, or which are recommended or held out to the public by the makers, ve: dors or proprietors, as proprietary medicin or as remedies or specifics for disease, are sul Ject to stamp dutles. By tbe 107th section it is provided that the act shall not apply to any compounded me- dicinal drug or chemical, nor to any medl- | cines compounded according to the = United | States or national pharmacopla, mor of which the full and proper formula !s published | in_either of the dispensatories, formularies or text books In common use among physiclans and apothecaries, nor in any pharmaceutical Journal now used by any incorporated college of pharmacy and not sold or offered for sale or advertised under any other name, form or | guise than that under which they may be sev- erally denominated and laid down In gaid pharmacopias, dispensatories, text books or 3 e intention of e intention of the act of Congress is plain, It s to subject to stamp duty every kind of preparation made and sold as medicinal, and claimed by the maker or vendor to be propri- etary, or recommended as possessing peculiar virtues imparted in the manufacture by the secret art or occult formula of the manufac- turer; and it is to exempt from duty all med cines’ known in trade, or compounded accord: ing to some published formula, or any me- dicingl treatise, recognized by the professors of medical science, and not offered for sale un- der any guise or pretence of proprietorship. Tt matters not, therefore, what the commo- dity may be, substance or essence, that is pre- pretended to be a compound of which the for- is the exclusive property of one or more per- sons. Though it be only bread rolled into pills, or rain water imprisoned In little vials 2nd ‘to be taken in drops, the clalm or pre- tense of the vendor determines its character. It cannot be treated as medicines for the cus- tomer and bread and water only for the tax collector. The dealer must be taken for what he professes to be, and if he seeks profit by deluding the public he must for his privi- lege like an honest man. The assumption must be taken for the fact, and when that of a proprietary right or secret art or knowledge clearly appears, no inquiry as to the composi- | tion of the drug will be pertinent or proper. If | the packet, box, pot, vial or other enclosure fs | not stamped the penalties of the act are in- curred and ought to be enforced. Among other recent decisions is one affecting mutual benefit insurance com- panies, which provides that purely co- operative or mutual fire Insurance com- panies, carried on solely by members for their protection and not for profit, are ex- | ‘Whenever the business of the as- sociation or company goes beyond the point of protection it is liable to taxation at the rate ed by law.

The tax is required on original entries at the Custom-house but not on duplicates. —_—— CUTTING RATES ON CALIFORNIA WINES The freight war between the steamer lines to New York.and the railroads has not abated a jot. The Pacific Mail has made a further reduction on wine tariffs, and back of this recent lowering of freight charges on wine to 36 cents per hundred pounds is a commercial accident which will cost several of the large wine establishments several extra thousand dollars for freightage. A few days ago the sailing vessel Roan- oke, belonging to John Rosenfeld’s Sons, left San Francisco for New York laden with 3200 tons of wine. The freight rate on the clipper line is 45 cents. Hardly had .the salls been unfurled when the Pa- cific Mail reduced its rate from 45 cents to 36 cents. The clipper line's route is around the Horn, and the Pacific Mail by way of Panama. Not only would the time of shipment have been lessened by many days but the saving on freight charges would have been very considera- ble. The aggregate saving would have amounted to at least $22,464. The heaviest loser is the California Wine Assoclation. Lachman & Jacobi are second on the list, and the California Winemakers' Corpora- tion comes & close third. There has been a general reduction made by the Pacific within the last few months.
