In each of the local parlors th of the celebration has been discu ing the past three weeks, and some of thesé has ready compieted their ar- rangements. California Parlor No. 1 has secured headquarters in the Drulds’ Hall | in San Jose, and has adopted as uniforms for its members, white duck pantaloons, light-colored negligee shirts, with tie to match, and straw hats. It has secured the services of Blanchard's band. On the afternoon of the 9th there will be a prom- enade concert at headquarters. The mem- bers of Buena Vista Parlor of the Native'| Daughters will be the special guests of this parlor. Stanford Parlor No. 76 will turn out in grand style. It has secured headquar- ters at the Vendome, and has arranged the following programme: Parades to the San Jose train on the night of the Sth | of September; reception on that night in headquarters; on the morning of the 9th, parade in San Jose, in uniform of dark coat and pantaloons, white vest, black tie, and straw hat. Each member will carry a cane of California laurel; after- noon, concert on the lawn of the hotei by the parlor’'s band of sixteen pleces; in the evening, grand ball in the hotel. On the 10th the parlor will take part in the clambake at Agricultural Park, and on the 11th will go to Alum Rock, where a bullshead breakfast will be served. Sequola Parlor No. 160, ever allve and ready to support these annual celebra- tions, will do all in its power to present an attractive feature In the grand pa- rade, and to that end there has been a personal appeal to each member. The committee is of the opinfon that Sequola will not be in the background at San Jose. The members will wear white duck pantaloons, golf shirt, blue flannel coat, white yachting cap and white canvas shoes. The Native Sons' band, led by Professor Sousa Barton, will furnish the music on the occasion of the night parade and In San Jose. During the coming week this parlor will decide exactly what special feature it will have, and will also arrange the programme for the enter- tainment of guests during Friday, Satur- day and Sunday in San Jose. Precita Parior No. 1857 will in the pro- cessfon be preceded by a drum corps, and the members will parade in the uni- form that is worn by the men of the United States navy while on duty in the troples. The members wish it under- stood that they will wear a full uniform, and not what some of the navy wore at Manila recently—a pair of high-water pantaloons and a sweet smile. At San Jose the parlor willhave a string band and give concerts and a dance at headquar- ters, having secured a large hall.

Daniel A. Ryan of Pacific Parlor will be the marshal on that occaslon. The joint committec has arranged for number of trains to convey to San and from Oakland, ail nd many . will take dvantage of the $1 50 rate that has been fixed for a three days' excursion. The tickets will be good from the night of the 8th until the 1ith inclusive. Dr. W. A. Gaston, who will be the | grand marshal of the San Jose parade, Is & member of Observatory Parlor. He | speaks in terms of pralse of the work | that Is being done by the members of | his parlor and those of San Jowe and Palo | Alto parlors In arranging for the big event. He says that it will surpass the | ears since, | and that not only are the Native Sons | and the Native Daughters, but all classes, | are interesting themselves in having it | sald in the future that the San Joseans | outdid themselves In thelr efforts to | please. But a small portion of the day will be taken up in the parade on the 9th, as it is not the desire of the grand marshal | to make the participants take a long | tramp. The committee has arranged for | the grand clambake at the Agricutural Park on the 10th, and for the bullshead | breakfast at Alum Rock. In the interum there will be an opportunity for the sev- eral parlors that are to have headquar- | ters to recelve their friends and have in- | dependent celebrations.

PIERCE’S REMEDIES “BLOOD WILL TELL In the Famous Charge Up San Juan Hill. JACK HAWTHORNE'S LETTER TO HIS MOTHER. nor | In the Field, Cuba, July 6. Dearest Mothes 1 write to myself o We had a terrible battle that lasted three days, and in which we lost BATTLE OF never expected to come through », much less without a 1en were killed or wounded wounded the batt At le night The men to go forward and another ran forward e r of our baftalion called for two and locate enemy, so I ved up and we could see the Span- rere il the bullets ck ail right tain d h to get up, ot b afterward were flying so th d ts wa verything ing except K HAWTHORN w York Volunteers. Company A, st But no, Jack Hawthcrne had not lost his most precious possession of all— the heroic blood that courses in h veins. Heroic blood it was that prompt- ed both him and Private Botts at the same Instant to jump up and rush for- d with such alacrity in the face of almost certain death. All the world knows the name of this young fellow's grandfather, Nathaniel Hawthorne, author of the “‘Scarlet Let- ter” and “The Marble Faun,” master- pleces of English literature, but who has heard of Botts, the unromantic cog- nomen of the youngster's equaily brave | cem fon? What forefathers have handed down to him the bleod from which heroes are made? HEROISM IS IN THE BLOOD. “Blood will tell” is an axiom that in all the ages has never been gainsaid. who does a brave, heroic act carrfes within his veins a quality of blood that urges and sustains him. No matter whether he inherits it from a long line of famous ancestors or from the sound and healthy constitution of his immediate parents, whose only dis- tinction is honorable toil and a simple, It matters little where ‘or how you obtain it, but it matters all the world that by some means you possess good blood. Good blood is first, last and always the making of manly men and womanly women. It is the source of all courage, virtue and happiness. CAN A MAN MAKE HIMSELF A HERO? “A man's first dut said Henry Ward Beecher, in a grand sermon on human development, “is to be a good animal. ” A man may himself the rehabilitation of his physical pow- ers, laying the foundation of his own manliness and of an inheritance for those who come after him more pre- cious than fine gold and rubies. Men and women who are sick, wretched and Incapacitated for their full share, in the daily, hourly struggle for existence, ought to carefully deter- mine whether or not their mental, moral and physical faculties may be improved and advanced surely to a higher and nobler plane. WHY PEOPLE DESPAIR. In the depth of sickness and wretch- edness men feel that their days of cour- age and usefulness are ended, women feel that they will never mcre be equal to the duties and burdens that come upon & wife and mother; but too often this sad conclusion, and the deep and hopeless despondency that accompanies it, are entirely erroneous. It comes because manly mentality and womanly courage have been sap- ped and undermined by the subtle, dis- integrating poiscn of physical debility and mal-nutrition. The spirit ceases to be “willing” because the flesh is weak; | the blood is impoverished, the nutritive powers depleted. It is by overcoming these physical disabilities and restoring the forces of nutrition to full and com- plete vitality that Dr. Plerce’'s wonder- ful “Golden Medical Discovery” gives back te men and women their true birthright of hopefulness, endurance and herolsm. WHAT TWO SOLDIERS SAY. “Four months ago I did not think to There was a large attendance of dele- | be in shape to assist our ‘Uncle Samuel’ gates to the joint 9th of September cele- bration committee meeting in Song’ Hall last night. The transportation committee gave an | account of what arrangements had been | made with the raflrond company for spe- | clal trains on the 8th of September and | subsequently. | Delegate Lees made the wonderful an- nouncement that one of the leading hotels in San Jose, instead of Increasing its | rates, had given notice that it had re- | duced its rates 5 cents. A proposition to throw the responsibil- | ity of appointing ticket sellers on the | transportation committee was defented, and the treasurer will name the ticket sellers. Grand Marshal Gaston made an appeal | to the San Francisco parlors for musle, | and stated that there had been a chang. in regard to the bullshead breakfast and | all. in case of hostilities,” said a Florida Nutive gentleman, A, D. Weller, Esq., of Pen- sacola, in a letter to Dr. Pierce. “But thanks to you I am now ready for the ‘Dons.’ Since receiving your diagnosis of my case as stomach trouble and Uver complaint T have taken eight bottles of Dr. Plerce's Golden Medical Discovery, and must say - that 1 am transformed from a ‘walking shadow’ (as my friends called me) to perfect healtl “Thirteen years ago I was wcunded by a ball passing through my lung,” | says George H. Belcher, Esq., of Dor- ton, Pike County, Ky. “I have had a bad cough ever since, with shortness of breath, and it was very easy to take cold; the slightest change of weather would cause the cough to be so bad I would have to sit up in bed all night. “T could not eat nor sleep at tlmes; I was all run down; I could not work a* A few months ago I began using the clambake.

PIERCE'S REMEDIES | | Plerce’'s Golden Medical Discovery, Or tell the good it has done me.” THE' BASIS OF POWER. The extraordinary effect of this great “Discovery” upon the digestive and nutritive organism, which is the basis of all physical renewal, gives it efficient potency in all those complaints of both adults and children associated with debility, emaciation and loss of stamina. It is the sovereign remedy above all medicines ever invented for overcoming severe, chronic, lingering coughs, throat and bronchial com- plaints, bleeding from the lungs and all kindred ailments, which, if neglected, or badly treated, lead on to that dread disease—consumption. It obliterates poisonous bile-products and disease-germs from the circulation and the skin; expels morbid accumula- tions from the bronchial tubes and | SAN JUAN. lung cells; gives keen assimilative pow- er to the digestive juices and blood- making glands; and supplies an abund- ance of that pure, regenerating, nu- tritive material which bullds up healthy tissue, muscular fiesh and vital nerve force. It regenerates the blood, | and thereby rejuvenates the man. WHAT MAI'ES NERVE-POWER? For delicate, broken-down | | i | nervous, jand times preferable to nauseous emul- | sions, or delusive stimulants, malt ex- | tracts and alcoholic “compounds.” Tt | does not give a mere temporary stimu- lus to the nerves. It feeds them: it re- builds them; it makes rich blood and transforms it into healthy nerve-fiber. | GREAT SUFFERING. “My health had been falling for sev- eral years” writes Mrs. Sophia A. | Slemp, of Sugargrove, Smyth Co.. V “I had hot flashes and at times a dread- ful hurting in my back above the loins; I could not rest at night on account of hot spells. Last spring I began to feel S0 weak I could scarcely do my work, | and in April I broke down completely. | T had indigestion and kidney trouble. | The back of my head and neck would be so tired 1 could not rest. The left side of my.face ached, but the pains and aches yielded under the influence of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov- ery and ‘Pleasant Pellets.’ I had also a severe pain in my left iimb. I tried different linfments but received no re- !lief. T could not ile still on account of | the suffering In my body. My limbs | and feet were cold, although I was in a perspiration nearly all the time. Some- times I would have to be propped up in bed all night, and even then could sleep but little. “I sent for the doctor and asked if he could cure me. He sald he had never failed but a time or two. I took his treatment about three weeks and was no better, but worse If anything, so I decided to try Dr. Plerce’s Golden Med- ical Discovery. I bought six bottles | | but T had only to take four bottles of | the ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ and two vials of the ‘Pleasant Pellets' and I| | was able to do my work again. 1 have thus far had no return of the disease. I feel better this spring than I have felt for several seasons. I have no hot spells like I had for several years. If T | had taken your treatment sooner, no | doubt T could have kept that bad spell | | off. but T am truly thankful that I took | | | | vour medicine and found a cure. I | shall ever praise the medicine that | cured me and will recommend it to all | suffering as I was.” DANGERS AVOIDED. This matchless “Golden Medical Dis- cove: is absolutely free from alcohol. It Is totally unlike the nmerous “sars- aparillas,’ “tonics,” “compound” “malt- extracts,” and so-called blood purifiers | which ~contain so large a per-| }(‘Pnlage of alcohol that their persistent use s almost certaln to awaken a mor- | bid craving for stimulants. The “'Gold- en Medical Discovery” is a temperance medicine. pure and simple. It may be used with perfect confidence in a tem- perance family. Thereby all danger of | contracting the alcohol habit isavoided. | The unparalleled reputation of Dr. | Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has | led some unscrupulous dealers to take | advantage of the almost universal de- mand by attempting to substitute som other article in which they have | greater interest. Any druggist who evinces his contempt for your judgment by trying to foist upon you something different from what you ask for on the | plea that his substitute s “just as good” should be met by a flat retusal to discuss the question. Show him that | you have a mind of your own. The splendid Invalids’ Hotel and Sur- gical Institute at Buffalo N. Y.. of which Dr. Plerce is the chief consulting physiclan, is the model medical Institu- tion of America: Dr. Pierce’s staff of nearly a score of assoclate specialists includes the most eminent experts in every fleld of practice. NO CHARGE. No charge Is made for consuitation by | mall, and any one writing to Dr. Plerce | will receive a cordfal, earnest, prompt reply, containing the best professional advice obtainable in America without one cent of cost, and the treatment sug- gested will be always the most simple, sensible and inexnensive. AN UNMATCHED EXPERIENCE. It should be remembered that Dr. Pierce in his thirty years of practical experience at tite head of his great in- stitution, has successfully treated more cases of severe, obstinate, chronic dis- eases than the average local prac- titloner ever heard of. His great 1000- page illustrated “Common Sense Med- ical Adviser” has had a greater sale than any other medical book ever pub- lished in any language.
