Onr baby, when one month old, had & raw place on her neck which spread slowly over the whole face, the face and neck being all raw meat, sometimes dry and then wet, and something awful to look at. The way the ehild suffered, mother and child never had any rest day or night as it constantly fiched, and the blood used to flow down her cheeks. We had doctors and went to the dispensary without any result. By using part of a bottle of CUTIOURA RESOLVENT, three boxes of CoTI- CURA (ointment), and CUTICURA SOAP, the child was entirely héaled.

It is a subject which unites all classes on a common platform that has for its insignia the all- powerful love of what Is timely news. # Reflection and reason have brought a new actor into the stirring soctal drama, and into what now must be turned the second act of the powerful domestic play. Williams is relegated to second part, and the man who s responsible for his in- troduction assumes the leading role. “We do not care who this man—or, what his name—White, Williams—is,” says the select circle In which the alleged mine-owner heretofore moved. “We don’t know him. But we do know you—at least we hope we do, and we want you to ex- plain what you meant by introducing such a character into our homes.” This asking for an explanation, how- ever, seems to be merely a matter of form. Translated from the misleading language of the select Into serviceable and sterling English, it says “Mr. Spon- sor, soclally speaking, you are a dead man. Don’t come and see us any more.” augments, The friends and admirers of the fair flancee suffer with her, and yet are cruelly denied the comfort that openly expressed sympathy might bring. An in- nate sense of delicacy prevents them call- ing upon her, and written words are too cold to picture the depths of the sincere affection all those who have had the hap- piness of knowing her feel. The outside world, the cruel observing outside world, looks on at this drama that almost proved a tragedy, and pro- pounds conundrums that no one can and no one attempts to guess. Among other things it asks: ‘“‘Are there really dia- mond mines and millions galore?” *“Will the wedding ever take place?’ And iast, but hardly least, “What are they going to do to Willlams’ social sponsor?” WILLIAMS SETTLES THE SHERIFF'S CLAIM Deputy Sheriff Richard O'Connor had another unpleasant experfence early yes- terday morning in attempting for the sec- ond time to attach the personal effects belonging to Willlams at the latter's rooms, 1105 Bush street. Accompanied by Attorney Allen, from Mr. Rankin's office, the deputy presented himself, at 7:30 a. m., at the front door leading to Williams' lodgings. A manscrvant responded, and stated that Willlame was not at home. “If he was, you couldn’t come in,” added the man. ou might just as well clear out.” O'Connor gave up the attempt to serve the attachment, and reporte Sheriff Whelan the result of his trip. Williams visited Attorney Rankin, rep- resenting Studebaker Brothers, yesterday morning. He secured a copy of the com- plaint and went at once to his legal rep- resentative, Jesse W. Lillenthal. The complaint recited that goods to the value of 00 had been purchased by Williams, and $730 of this remained unpaid. “Mr. Willlams explained to me,” said Mr. Lilienthal yesterday, “that, so far as he could remember, the dispute arose to | be was entitled originally over the fact that some of th vehicles had defictlve springs.

Polls Next Saturday Between Opposing Factions. BERKELEY, Oct. 12—A special elec- tion for the residents of the university town has been called by the Board of Trustees for next. Saturday, October 15. The election is for the purpose of deciding whether or not Berkeley shall have a Police Court, It will take the form of voting upon an amendment to the city charter, providing for the establishment of a local judiciary having jurisdiction over violations of city ordinances and minor misdemeanors. The measure, however, is likely to en- counter a very serlous opposition’ The bone of contention is an article of the the Police Judge by the Board of Trus- which shall make the Police tool in their hands. The Trustees, individually, who passed the amendment, the Good Government Club, the North Berkeley Improvement Club and the residents of the East End nerally are known to be strongly in ‘avor of the provision just as it stands. The opposition is confined to certain sec- tions of the West End and the South End. —_——————— The famous old JESSE MOORE WHISKY is recommended by physiclans for family and medicinal use because it is pure. —————————— EXPEDITIOUS WORK.

The commitiee on finance is composed of F. E. Coulter, W. P. Neth- erton, A. A. Smith, John Offit, Volney Taylor, George D. Kellogg and W. L Hull. The campaign committee is com- posed of F. E.

These committees | will report to the committee of the whole, which will convene once more before the session of the Grand wouge concludes. It was decided that on Saturday next the Grand Lodge should visit the Or- phans’ Home at Vallejo. A resolution referring to the army can- teen was proposed by Rev. J. W. Webb and was adopted. It was as follows: | Whereas, A loud and heartfelt cry against | the enticing, debasing, crime-causing and dis- ease-breeding army canteens has gone up to the President of the United States from temp- erance people, churches, bishops and many of the soldiers and not a few of the command- ing officers; therefore, be it Resolved, That this Grand Lodge most earn- | estly adds its appeal to President McKinley as d | the commander-in-chief of the army, a patriot d a Christian, to use his undoubted authority abolish the canteen system. A copy of the resolution will be sent to Washington. The memorial committee reported obit- uary notices on Mrs. Hattle A. T. Tarlow, Bertrand R. Falrweather, William C. Barren, Mrs. Liva C.

Al Neil Had an Easy Thing Stop- ping a Portland Dub at the Merchants’ Club. The Merchants’ Athletic Club gave its monthly boxing entertainment last even- ing and the house was packed with sports and politicians. Maurice Lee and Steve Vicine opened the evening’s fun with an exhibition of wrestling which was very clever. Then followed the boxers. Mike Mollls, a _lad who knows very lit- tle about fsticuffs, but is a game young. ster, made a chopping block of Frank Ely for a couple of rounds, but he tired per- ceptibly, and in the fifth round Ely took courage and closed in upon his opponent. Mollis was too weak to stand the attack, and after receiving a few smashes in the face he squatted on the carpet and remained down until counted out. The event of the evening was a fizzle. Young Fitzsimmons, the alleged welter- weight champlon of the %Ionhweet roved himself a dub of the lowest grade. e was boomed by “Dub” Evans as be. ing “a coming man,” possibly because he may have bested Evans, and that would not be any feather in his cap. Hbwever, the Young Fitzsimmons stood half a round in front of Al Neil, who hammered bim all over the ring, and was about to give “Fitz"” the sleepy punch when the police stopped the very much one-sided game.

SCHOOL BOARD DROPS HIM FACTS CAME OUT AT YESTER- | DAY’S MEETING. Plans for a Noe Valley Schoolhouse | Adopted, but Action on the Construction Delayed. A sensation developed at yesterday' meeting of the School Board, when, with- out warning, a resolution was presented dropping H. F. Soper from the roll of teachers ‘‘for non-compliance with the rules.” The resolution was adopted with- out discussion, a statement of the facts leading up to the resolution having been privately made to the members of the board in secret session as a committee of the whole. The story, as told by one of the members of the board, is substan- tially as follows: Soper, who was a teacher in the Ham- ilton Evening School, had left town, after having swindled a number of war- rant brokers to the tune of several hun- dred dollars. He had gone to these per- sons and made out orders for his August and September salaries, selling same at a small discount and pocketing the cash. He sold his order for his August salary to Solomon Kampe and agaln to James F. Snelling. The tactics were followed on a more sive scale with his September salary $0, which was in turn sold to Solomon | Kampe, August Weihe, James F. Snell- | ing and the San Francisco Collateral | Loan Bank, each receiving an order on | the Treasurer for the amount. Kampe happened to present both orders several days ago in advance of the other holders and the money paid to him without a suspicion that fraud' had been com- mitted. Latter the remaining orders | turned up at the office of the clerk of the | Board of Education, and the swindle was exposed. Inquiry for Soper revealed the fact that he was missing. . It was sub-| sequently reported that he had left on | an Asiatic boat in the capacity of a | walter. | The question of appealing from the re- | cent decision of the Superior Court, rein- | stating B. C. Kilpatrick as principal of | the Business Evening I, furnished opportunity to Director rate the Judge who rend “It was simply rotten!” shouted Gal- lagher, “‘and the Judge was biased by po- litical ‘reasons. It was the most shame- | less decision ever rendered in a California | court. ~We should appeal!” "The board coincided with Gallagher and decided to file an appeal with the Supreme Court. Another important matter was the se- lection of plans for a fine new school building at Twenty-third and Douglass The suc ul competing archi- tect was T. J. Welsh. His plans pro- vide for ‘a twelve class room build- | ing two stories high, with speci rooms for principal, teachers and schol- ars. The bullding IS se arranged that all of the class-rooms have & posure and plenty of light. cost of the structure is $30,000. Members of the board stated after the meeting that there was a strong probabil- ity that the new school building would not | be constructed this year, owing to lack of funds. The is not, however, been finally settie ‘was transferred m School and elected principal of v school at Forty-third street and Point Lobos avenue. Mrs. S. W. McPherson, teacher of mathematics in Polytechnic High School, was chosen head of the mathe- matical department of the same school C. H. Crowell of the Mission High School was transferred to the High School Class | of the Horace Mann Evening School. Miss Rose Ryan of the secondary sub- stitute list, was elected a regular High School teacher and assigned to the place vacated by C. H. Crowell. The board discussed at some length the recommendation of the committee on evening schools that Myrtle C tra substitute teacher of bool the Spring Valley School, be teacher of class, X Ramus, an extra substitute teacher of bookkeeping in the Hamilton Evening | School, be assigned as teacher of Said | class. | Director Head entered a_ violent pro- test, which was seconded by Carew, against appointing any more teachers when the board is confronted with a_de- ficit in the school fund. Head read a statement showing that the board has already expended during the present school year $204,267, and that at the pres- ent rate of expenditures there will be a deficit at the close of the year of $200,000. He stated that the board now has left out of its appropriation a sum that will only permit of the expenditure of 35,000 per month for the remainder of the year, Whereas the present salaries and e penses aggregate $93,500 per month. By a vote of six to five the board decided not to appoint the two teachers. The four conspirators charged with defrauding the city through false and fraudulent bills presented to the School Board for lumber, surrendered them- selves at the City Prison yesterday morn- ing. They had previously prepared them- selves with bondsmen, and_ were promptly released each on §1000 bonds. Director T. A. Burns had as his sure- ties F. B.
