10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL; SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1898. IRISH LANDLORD GETS THE SEAT Blakiston-Houston Sent to Commons. THE NORTH DOWN ELECTION CLANCY TELLS OF THE TERESTING RESULT. IN- | Painful Picture of Life in the West of Ireland Furnished by an Inspector of Schools. BY J. J. CLANCY. Special Correspondence of The Call. DUBLIN, Sept. 10.—The North Down election about which I wrote in my last Jetter has resulted in the return to Par- liament of Mr. Blakiston-Houston, the | landlord and Ministerialist candidate; but the majority of the victor was rather inconsiderable. On a poll of something between 7000 and 8000 votes the one candidate topped the other by 280. From the point of view of the Catholic and Nationalist majority of Ireland it did not really matter which of the two candidates was elected. Both professed the same political principles, | which were’ directly antagonistic on every point to those of that majority. Neverthele the Catholic and Nation- alists in North Down, who number 800 on the electoral roil, are said to have voted to a man in favor of the success- ful candidate. They probably did use Blakiston-Houston was a local while Corbett, the defeated can- as a London Scotchman, if I fore looked at least like an unscrupu- lous person whose main object was to get eat in Farliament anyhow. But the real moral of this election is that the landlord party in the Orange part of Ulster have more influence left with s of the people than might have xpected. A very c iderable proportion of farmers whose views on the subject of land legislation have al- been flercely combated by the ords must, on this occasion, have voted for the landlords’ candidate. How this came about I prof myself utter- ly unable to account. It only remains to add that the member for North Down is not one to set the Thames on fire. He is like almost all the other Irish landlord representatives in the House of Commo! that is to say more or less of a “deadhead.” This a term, I think, rowed here from the expressive vocab- ulary of America; but if I am wrong in that supposition, I may mention that the word ‘“deadhead” means with us Irish a person intellectually incompe- tent and incapable. 1 observe thlat Mr. Chamberlain in the interview = hich he is just reported to have given to a New York journal ist has tried—at least according to a more merited report which I have just :en—to convey to the American peo- ple the impression that the passing of the local gov ment act has at last solved the Irish difficulty which has is which has been bor- stared England in the face during the | last seven hundred years.

Jocal government act transfers exis powers of administration 1n local fairs from the minority to the majority, but it is only the power of admini tion and not the power to make laws which has been effected, and what the Ir people want is power to do both the one thing and the other, and it may be safely affirmed that the mass of them will be satisfied with anything | Chamberlain, I may know's all t s weil as anybody else'in the world.

This gentle- man, a Mr. Sullivan, remarks that the attendance in most schools is, compar- atively speaking, good in winter; but only when the win for an obvious reason. proportion of the c ince (Connaught),” is mild, Mr. Sullivan, s poorly fed and ver clad. It| painful to see— stor can- | not fail to see—l s of bare- footed boys and girls, miserably clad, trying to make their way cn a winter's morning to the neighboring school. In such cases we hope that the school- room, when reached, may make these poor children warm and comfortable. Unfortunately, this is not the cas My experience, and it is extensive that the schoolroom which awaits most children after their walk over bleak roads or paths, is a cold, cheeriess apartment.” And the inspector goes on to speak of the spectacle presented by the few sods of turf placed on the | hearth and lighted, but giving no heat, or, rather, a little heat and a mass of | smoke, and of the miserable children who had just come in and whe sat quiet, melancholy looking and shiver- ing opposite their respective desks. On inquiry the inspector was told that it was “a bad year for turf”; but the fact | is that it is always “a bad year for | | turf"—and for everything else—in some | | parts of Connaught. The consequences, | 8o far as the spread of education is concerned, are disastrous. Among them is an insufficient and unpunctual | | attendance at school in those very | places where a sufiicient and punctuali attendance would be of the greatest | | importance. “Parents and children | | feel,” says the inspector, “that on a | r's morning their own cabins, | rable as they are, are warmer | than the schoolroom, and consequent- | ly the children either remain at home | altogether in cold weather or postpone their departure for school until as late an hour as possible.” After all the years of Turkish rule, we could not find such a state of things in Bulga- |ria. In Ireland, after three centuries | of effective British control of Irish af- | fairs, it is unfortunately a common | sight. It would be well if Mr. Cham- berlain explained why it is so before he leaves the United States I suppose I need hardly say even to my purely American readers that the | Doncaster “St. Leger” is one of the greatest events of the racing year in England. It is the greatest, indeed, | after “the Derby,” and the winner of | “the Derby,” generally speaking, wins the St. Leger, too. This year Jed- dah, who won the Derby in June, was considered “‘a dead certainty” for the other race. He has, however, been beaten in “a canter” by Wildfowler, an Irish horse. This incident is natural- | 1y a matter of pride to Irishmen, most of whom take delight in racing, and it is all the more remarkable coming, as it does, after the victories of that other Irish horse, Galtee More, last not only “the Derby” and the ““St. Le- ger,” but also in “the’ two thousand | guineas,” and, in fact, in all classic | ‘ontests on the English «turf in 1897. | Wildfowler was bred and reared in Ire- land by an Irish gentleman, Captain Greer, the owner of several other first- class Irish horses. including that great horse, Kilcock, probably the greatest on the English turf at the present day Thoese repeated Irish successes at F-e lish race mee ings sre, of courss, im- | portant to Ir d in a very material | sense. They have raised the reputa- tion of Irish bred horses to a high pitch In England, and the consequence is that Trish horses in that country now nsually sell at a very high figure, while English owners of race horses are set- ting up racing establishments in Ire- land In the belief that the soil and the climate of the country are speclally favorable to the production of first- class animals. As for Captain Greer, the owser of Wildfowler, he is highly respected for his straightforward ac- tion on the turf, where, according to | the - prevalent belief, honesty and straightforwardness are not prominent virtnes prominently or steadily prac- ticed. Those who have read the account re. | cently published in The Call of the ca- | | reer of Ernest Terah Hooley will be | | Interested and. perhaps. surprised to | learn that of the money which he sue. ceeded in raking in from the public, a | very large proportion came from the city of Dublin. It is verv doubtful if any city or town in the United King- dom has.ever gone in so extensively for | | speculation as Dublin did over the cycle | | baom. Tt came about in this way. In | | the first place, Dunlop. the inventor of | | the pneumatic tire which bears his | name, is a Dublin man: and. in the| | next place, the persons first to malke | money out of the Dunion cycle tire | . |were a groun of Dublin men who | bought up Dunlop shares by the | thousand when London would not look at them and thereby made huee for- | tunes in a very brief time. The cir- cumstance set Dublin on fire. Every man. rich and poor, thought he, too, could become rich beyond the dreams of avarice, if he only gambled enough, and I am sorry to say that only too many persons who could not afford it translated their thoughts into acts. Every new cvcle company that came out and asked for subscriptions to its shares found Dublin men only too ready to respond to their dearest wishes. The result can be easily guessed. Thousands have been heav- fly hit; some hundreds at least have been ruined. Dublin is now suffering from exhaustion and very little is do- ing In its Stock Exchange; but it will display a very remarkable amount of energy the very first moment it finds | that it can bring to heel the gentry by whom it has been swindled. VOLCANIC ASH IN WCLOUD RIVER REDDIN Sept. 24.—During the last few days the waters of the Sacramento River at Red Bluff have been muddy as though 'the volume had been in- creased by the dirty floodwaters from up-country water sheds. A rise in the stream of five or six inches is reported :.ll\dd(’unsi()f-rllhle drift is floating sea- ward. The people of Red Bluff account for this by asserting that the muddy water and drift come down from the McCloud River. The; that at the conflu- ence of the McCloud and Pitt rivers, the latter stream is as clear as crystal, while the McCloud is turgld and muddy. Observation at Redding entirely up- sets the theory held by the people of Red Bluff. The Sacramento River at this point is as clear as at any time | which WLL BULD BEOND THE NEVAD LINE Plans for the Utah and Pacific. IT WILL REACH THE COAST CONNECTION WITH THE SANTA FE PROBABLE . President 1fcCune Intimates That the Completed Line From Salt Lake Will Be in Opera- tion Next Season. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 24.—After | many years of disappointment Salt ! Lake City is about to see its cherished project, the construction of another railroad to California, carried out. So often have various promoters of the en- terprise pretended to be able to con- struct the road without having the necessary backing that the repeated failures had made people distrustful of all propositions relative to the building of the line. But the enterprise now on foot, that of the Utah and Pacific, has progressed so far that doubt has been dispelled and confidence is felt that at last a new rocd to the coast is assured. The developments of the last few days have been of a character to satisfy the public that the company means busi- ness. When the company was organ- | ized a short time ago it limited the an- ' nouncement of its purpose to the state- ment that it would build a line from the present terminus of the Oregon Short Line at Milford, Utah, southwesterly to the Nevada State line, a distance of seventy-six miles. Years ago the road- bed for this extension was built, but the vicissitudes of the Union Pacific, then operated the Short Line system, caused further work on the line to be abandoned. This line is now to be used by the Utah and Pacific, being in such a state of preservation that it will need only a small amount of repairing. The new company has, therefore, only to lay its ralls. The contract for this tracklaying has been let and it is now certain that work will begin within the next week. The rails are to be supplied by the Short Line Company, which is, of course, be. hind the project and has the steel on hand. Ties have been purchased in Eastern Oregon and Southern Utah, A. W. McCUNE, PRESIDENT OF W2 112577, 7 // THE UTAH AND PACIFIC, during the year. There has been no perceptibie rise in the stream, nor is there any drift floating seaward. But a singular phenomenon, first noted on the McCloud River and now observ- able at Redding, is exciting considera- ble speculation. Throughout the present season, the dryest known in this region, the waters of the McCloud, clear and cold, have presented a milk-white appearance as though floating full of bright, shining particles or supercharged with minute air bubbles. The strange speciacle has caused comment and created specula- tion among the residents along the banks of the stream, as well as among the hundreds of visitors who annually spend their summer outings in the pic- turesque McCloud River region. The best interpretation of this sing- ular phenomenon is advanced hy Rob- ert Radcliffe, for years an attache of the United States fishery at Baird. He says that at the base of Mount Shasta there is an extensive !asin filled with light volcanic ash. During an exces- sively dry season snowfields that in or- dinary seasons remain intact are melted and the waters drain through the ash into the McCloud River. The fine, light particles, of which the vol- canic substance is composed, are what give to the water its uncommonly white abpearance. 5 i The present is the first season the strange spectacle has been observed at Redding. A theory: in explanation is advanced by a few observers here that the white substance is soda, and a few even say that It acts as a strong aperient on ani- mals drinking of the waters. { dent McCune is not talking idly when and the first shipments will arrive at Milford this week. All this insures the s :edy construction of the road to the Nevada line. There has been much speculation as to the further intentions of the com- pany. As has been stated, it did not at the outset promise to do more than build the seventy-six-mile extension, but now President A. W. McCune says that it is its purpose to go on to & con- nection with the Santa Fe. McCune is a man of wealth. His for- tune is believed to be increasing at the rate of $50,000 a month from his British Columbia mines and other interests. He enjoys an advantage over most of those who in times past have taken hold of the project. He has money of his own to put into the enterprise, and he has other moneyed men associated with him in the company. It is this aggregation of capital that first in- spired public confidence in the Utah and Pacific. It is now felt that Presi- he says that it is a dead sure proposi- ' tion that the road will not be stopped at the State line, but will be built on to a connection with the California East- ern. Through this connection the com- pany expects to reach Southern Cali- fornia points and eventually San Fran- | cisco. | The extension for which the contract | has been let, it is believed, will be ironed In three months, and it is ex- pected that next season the new line which will eventually extend te Cali- fornig will be in operation.

PIERCE’S REMEDIES HE HUMAN OSTRICH. “Tell Me What You Eat and I’'ll Tell You What You Are.” The human ostrich. You've seen him | probably, in the booth at the fair or| circus or on the platform of the dime | museum. He has toughened his stom- ach to the consistency of leather, and lunches on broken hottles, tacks or tenpenny nails with seeming impunity. He doesn’t live long, of course, for he sacrifices life to earn a lazy livelihood. You would be amazed, perhaps, to be told that you were something like the T | K, human ostrich in the character of your diet, and the risk of life involved. It is not necessary that you eat glass and nails in order to resemble this monstrosity. The man who plays the part of the human ostrich is an ex- ample of depraved appetite in its most extreme and exaggerated form. The depraved appetite of the average can- didate for dyspepsia does not go farther than hot bread and biscuit, rich pas- tries, highly seasoned dishes and exces- sively greasy foods. Add to this im- proper cooking, haste in eating and lack of proper rest after a meal, and you have a condition very likely to re- sult in disease and suffering. Let it be remembeéred that the sole object of food is nutrition; nutrition not for the body as a whole only, but nutri- tion for the varying needs of the sepa- rate parts of the body; for the muscles, the nerves, the brain, the blood. When the stomach is in a state of healthy activity, nature, by her remarkable processes, takes the food you supply, and distributes its starches and sugars, its salts and phosphates according to the needs of the separate organs of the body. When the stomach is not in a state of healthy activity nature does her best, but the various dependent or- gans of the body are put on short ra- tions. There is not nourishment enough to supply them properly WHAT HAPPENS THEN? A weakened stomach. A stomach in- capable of performing its functions fully. The liver and blood - making glands work imperfectly. The natural result is that the food is imperfectly di- gested and only partly assimilated and the channels of life are choked and stopped by waste and putrescent mat- Some people know where the They locate it in the stom- ach, because they have pain there after eating, an irregular craving for food, or an appetite that eating does not sat- isfy. There is heaviness after a meal, a feeling of undue fullness. It is hard to breathe, there Is such a stuffy feel- ing about the chest. There may be pal- pitation or irregular action of the heart |and the sufferer imagines he has heart | disease. 1and there are bitter ri: Perhaps the stomach sours, ings, and belch- ings. These symptoms mark various forms and stages of “weak stomach.” They will not all be present in every case or in the earlier stages of the dis- ease. Any one of these symptoms lo- cates the trouble in the stomach and the digestive and nutritive functions, which are disturbed. Quite often there is no apparent con- nection between the stomach and the symptoms of the diseas The victim thinks it “liver trouble,” heart failure, or lung disease. There is a dull pain, perhaps in the back or the side. The spine aches, sometimes “in spots” and sometimes through its whole length. There may be a sharp stitch or pain occasionally. Exercise makes the limbs tremble and the heart beat violently. | Perhaps to some of these symptoms there is added an obstinate, stubborn cough. WHAT IS THE MATTER NOW? It is another case of weal stomach. But, that is not where the pain is. Very likely not. But that is where the trouble is. The stomach has not been able to properly feed the organs de- pendent upon it. They are starving, they are weak and they show their weakness in the aches and pains that afflict the various parts of the body. ‘What will set the stomach right? There is one remedy practically infallible in its results and that one remedy is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It cures because t is made to cure just the conditions of the stomach which give rise to disease. A COMMON SENSE VIEW. If so many diseases begin in the stomach and nutritive system, why should not some one remedy be com- | pounded, which by healing the stom- ach would necessarily cure the dis- eases of the orguns dependent on it? T 's was the great question which Dr. R. V. Pierce set himself to answer. Then folloved a period of wnrofound study of the value of alterative and tonic medicines. The result was Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, a medicine for the stomach and the whole digestive and nutritive system. The soundness of Dr. Pierce’s original theory, that diseases which originate in the stomach must be cured through the stomach, has been proved in thousands of cases, where one or several of the chief organs of the body were involved in wasting dis- eases, and an entire cure has been wrought Dby the use of the “Golden Medical Discovery.” By way of proof take the case of Rev. C. L. Mundell of Pinegrove, Gallia County, Ohlo. He writes: *I suffered from a dreadful feeling and weakness, and in 1893 I lost my health altogether. I went to one of the best doctors in the State and he said I had heart, stomach, liver and kidney trouble. His treatment did me no good. I tried different kinds of patent medicines, but got worse all the tima; was so weak that I could not I — DR. PIERCE’S BEMEDES v: 11 walk any distance. If I walked up hi or a little fast it seemed as lhou'gh mq:{ heart would jump out. I had almost given up all hope, and my money l:\n all gone. Was scarcely able to ma! e %: living. Finally I saw an advertisemen in one of the country papers th?’t for twenty-one l-cent stamps Dr. Plerce would send me one of his ‘Common Sense Medical Advisers.” So I sent :'_.nd‘I got one and began to read conf:ern!r‘,gi diseases like my own. After mmsultms,t the doctor himself I purchased at my nearest drug store a bottle of Dr. Pierce’'s Golden Medical Discovery, and a bottle of his ‘Pleasant Pellets. Thh{ was in 1897, and now I anr happy to say that I am in the enjoyment of goo:j health, which I attribute to Dr. R. 474 Pierce, and I am so glad of my health that I cannot say too much. I first re- turn my sincere thanks to Almighty God and then to Doctor Pierce. The above is only a specimen case take at random from thousands. ‘WHY “IT I3 180. In view of the foregoing facts it is easy to explain why the “‘Golden Medi- cal Discovery” is the best blood-purify- ing medicine. The stomach supplies cup and if you drink it you drink foul water. No matter how pure the food, if the stomach is foul you will have foul blood. wr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery clea ses the blood by clean- ing the stom “h, invigorating the liver and setting the blood making glands | at work. ‘Weak lungs are cured on the same | principle. Weak lun-s are inseparable from a weak stomach. A weas s‘omach does not alrays mean weak lungs, but weak lungs always mean a weak stom- ach. The weak stomach means lack of sufficient nutrition, or the incapacity of | the stomach to digest the food and dis- tribute the nutriment to repair the | waste an1 loss of the body. The whole | medical profession recognizes this fact. | Their great prescription for weah lungs and consumption is a fattening food, condensed and ass 1ilable—which takes the form of cod liver oii, either in all its | original nastiness, or with its offensive- ness modified in some emulsive prepara- tion. The theory is sound enough. What t'= body needs is nouris.ment. If you could nourish the body up to the point of aggrec-‘on against disease it would protec* itself. Somehow cod liver oil and its preparations never seem to get as fa~ as the weak lungs. They | fail because it is the stomach that needs healing. Let the lungs alone. If you can cure the stomach, invigorate the to nufactaring, and start the current tem, Nature w.ll take care that it does its work o .uilding up the body. That is the basis of Dr. Pierce’s cure for weak lungs, the condition which by neglect or bad treatment becomes con- sumption. HOW IT WORKS. How does the treatment work practice? Mr. Noel W. Orvin of Lmig- ley, Aiken County, S. worked first rate in his case. “I was taken sick in July last year, and was not able to do any kind of work until November. I had been coughing up small hard lumps for about a year before I was taken down. I then called on a doctor, who attended me for two months, and said that one- half of my left lung was gone and ad- vised me to leave my home (Charles- ton, S. C.,) and go to the country, but did not eay what sort of disease I had. I thought it was consumption, and wrote to you for advice; I took four bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical | Discovery, which has done me more good than all the other medicines I have evér taken.” The doctor didn’t sa; matter. But Mr. Orvin consumption.” He says: . ¥ what was the, O “thought it was No wonder he thought 50, when the doctor told him one-half of one lung was gone. But it does not matter what the disease is called. (he fact remains that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has of such cases—c: ases where there w night sweats, h By acking cough, ia- | tion, hectic flush, labored br%ath?x'?;?:d great weak ess, Call the disease what you please, “Golden Medical Discovery" cures ninety-eight out of every hun- dred such cases. These statements have a twofold claim on your attention if you are a sufferér from a weak stom- |ach, weak lungs, stubborn Imgering cough, bronchitis, bleeding lungs, or any of these kindred forms of disease Which, when neglected or improperly treated, lead to consumption. WILL NOT 1 There is one important feature abo “Golden Medical Discovery” \\'hl:‘ll: cannot be too strungly emphasized. It contains no alcohol, or whisky. no opium or n reeties, neither sugar nor syrup which so often disagree with the weak dyspeotic stomach. Without any of these things it preserves its medici- nal qualiti-s perfectly and in any cli- mate. It does not create.a craving for injurious stimulants or narcotics. DON'T BE DECEIVED. If you are convinced that Dr. Pierce’s Gelden Medical Discovery is what you | need, do not allow any designing dealer to palm off a substitute on you under ' specious plea that it is ‘“just as £00d.” If he has no respeat for your judgment show him that you have. Any dealer can obtain this great standard remedy for vou if you insist upon it. It affords him a fair profit.

There are people everywhere who are in ill-health. Medicine has not helped them. They are out of heart and dis- couraged. Dr. Pierce invites such to write to him, freely and fully.
