PETTIGREW, Bpearfish, South Dakota. I.am a temperance lecturer, and at breakfast Mrs. Higby handed me a lovely cup of coffee with the remark: “Did you ever realize that it is not at | all consistent for temperance people to continually advise others to avoid poi- sonous stimulants and yet day by day drink such articles themselves? This | “’Is particularly true of coffee, which is | one of the most powerful narcotics in | existence, although its effects are not | shown as actively as whisky.” | I was rather surprised at her remark, | but after thinking it over a moment I tealized that it was apropos. I had no- ticed many a case of nervous prostra- tion-that was directly traceable to cof- | fee, for the individuals at once began to improve When they left off coffee, and I had found it so in my own expe- | rience. I had made several attempts to break away from the habit and had failed, much to my disgust, and, oftentimes, when addressing an audience on the evils of liquor drinking, I had in my own heart felt that I was very much like an old toper, the only difference being that I wanted coffee and he wanted liquor. i Mrs. Higby went on to say: “We have abandoned coffee entirely in our family, and are using the Postum Cer- eal Food Coffee made down at Battle | Creck, Mich., and 1 think when you drink this cup you will agree with me that it is in a more de- licious beverage inary coffee, for it has a smoother, more fascinating taste, much like the very highest grades | of mild Java.” I drank the cup slowly and realized that her remarks were true, and I want to say to you that 1 gained nv more valuable knowledge at that convention | in Wyoming than that which I learned at the breakfast table where I had my | first cup of Postum. I have since used | - It regularly, very greatly to my physi- | cal and mental advantage, and have found no difficuity whatever in doing away with coffee. No one can tell| how glad I am to be free from its bane- | ful effects. I can now make a tem- perance address with a clear con- science, and, perhaps, I might add, a clearer complexion than formerly. Nina D. Pettigrew, Spearfish, S. D, | department | jurea. | das | County in the interest of Mr. McManus, Hunter, in 54th Cal., says: *‘“‘An indict- ment found and é)resented by twelve grand jurors is valid, although the grand jury, owing to the absence or death of one or more of its members may consist of less than nineteen at the time of find- ing the indictment.” Judge Ellsworth will hear the petition to-morrow morning. He Was Shocked. OAKLAND, Nov. 4—Manuel Alvis is one “of those lucky men who can be shocked with electricity without sustain- ing any serious injury. This morning he advertently completed the circuit at the tuary drawbridge, and for a short time was unable to disconnect himself from the current that runs the electric rail- ad.

OAKLAND, Nov. 4—A serious accident at the curve leading from Webster street across the track of the Southern Pacific on First street was narrowly averted last night. Through the failure of a signal to work or the misunderstanding of it by the iin hands, the broad gauge train on rst street, bound for Alameda, only missed by a few feet crashing into the v w gauge train, which was rounding the curve on its way to the mole. The 1£-possession of the engineer on the nar- row gauge train alone prevented the ca- lamity. After receiving the signal to go he saw the approaching broad | ge train and at once reduced his| speed, bringing up just a little distance | from where the other train was crossing right ahead of him —— e St. Mary’s College Whitewashed. . Nov. 4.—The football team of St. Mary's College, Oakland, lined up against the college team of the Universit of California this afternoon. The matcl was played the college campus be- fore a fair number of spectators. From | the kick-off it was clear that the Oakland men stood very little chance against the to-day for hg crime of embezziing the city’s funds. His counsel, Edgar Piexotto, concluded his argument on the motion 1or a new trial vesterday, and Judge Cook promptly denied the motion..

The Friday Fortnightlys held their first dance last evening and formally opened the season of "98-99. The same delightful informallty that has been a feature ot the former meetings of this club prevailed last evening, making this dance in every | way a most charming affair. Like all the | former dances of the Fortnightlys, Lunt's Hall on Polk street was the scene of ac- tlon and an artistic array of potted palms and ferns lent to the hall a festive ap- pearance. Mrs. Monroe Sallsbury and Mrs. Gordon Bianding, patronesses of the dancing | class, received the guests, assisted by Mrs. Charles Page and Mrs. Kip. Seven- ty-five couples t0ok part in the german, | and there was a large number of chap- erons in the visitors’ seats. In fact, so | numerous have the demands for visitors' | tickets become that the management has been obliged to considerably restrict the number issued. The cotilion, anmexvtrre‘;m‘el;; ‘plreuy o‘?e. introducing several pretty and new fig- ures, was led by E. H. Sheldon, assisted by Miss Olive Holbrook, one of 'this sea- son's debutantes. In the first set were Miss Susie Blanding, Miss Elmore, Miss Grace Spreckels, Miss Lillie Spreckels, Miss Mary . Miss Romie Wallace, Miss Margaret Salisbiry, Miss Kate Sal- ish R Migs Muriel Atherton and Miss tie Murph A ward M. Greenway celebrated his birthday last evening by gl\'lnt a_dinner in the Red Room at the Bohemian Club, Covers were laid for thirty and a most elaborate menu was discussed. ‘A remarkable feature of the entertain- ment was the lateness of the dinner hour, Palf-past elght. A general adoption of the late dinner—and when Mr. Greenway. Jeads all follow—necessarily means a lit- tle social revolution. Dinners followed by dances will be almost impossible affairs and as far as the theater party after din ners, that will be entirely out of the ques- tion. Excellent music and_ gorgeous decora- tions lent their aid to the many charming features of the entertainment. —_—— Widber to Be Sentenced. Augustus C, Widber will be sentenced cock, bow; W. G.

THE PRIEST AND THE POLITIGIAN By ALICE RIX In Next Sunday's Galil. RUPERT MANUEL’S WILL. Bequeaths His Entire Estate to Mrs. Bertha Head, The will of Rupert Manuel, who died on the 20th ult. In the County Jail while awalting trial on a charge of forgery, was filed for probate yesterday. An estate— the exact value of which is unknown, but it will not exceed $10000—is bequeathed Mrs, Bertha Head. wife of School Director | Edwin L. Head, The will, which is olographic and in wording unique, follows In the name of the Great Architect of theUni- verse: I, Rupert Manuel, of the city and county | of San Francisco, State of Callfornia, of sound and disposing mind, not under any durees, but free as air, do publish this my last will, re- voking all former wills by me made, viz.: I earnestly wish that my body should be cre- mated after my dissolution, giving no chance for medical faculties to dissect my remains for the advancement of science or otherwise. 1 give freely and bequeath all my personal property, money in bank and real estate, to Mre, Bertha Head, wife of Bdwin L. Head, o School Director, in whose house, No. 1206 Ma- sonic avenue, in' the city and county aforesaid, I now have a home, and I appoint -the afore- said Edwin L, Head, my executor of this will and no bond or bonds shall be required of him. This will is olographic, being all in my own handwriting written. Dated San Franciseo, September 19, 189 The Garbage Ordinance. Guiseppe Figoni and W. D. Leavenson, who were arrested for dumping garbage in San Mateo County in violation of the ordinance providing for the burning of all garbage in the garbage crematory, were released yesterday by Judge Cook on ball pending the hearing of writs of habeas corpus in their behalf Monday next. The arrest of Figonl and Leavenson was caused for the purpose of establishing the legality of the ordinance. This will make a'total of 303,028 pounds of bone, which, at the present low figure ot $350 a pound, equals $710,591. At the present time whale ofl is worth about $6 a barrel, so that the catch of that article is worth in the open market $25,818. The catch, however, has been a Vvery poor one, as few of the whalers took the trouble to save the oll once they had secured the whalebone. In consequence the price of ofl is sure to advance as soon as the last of the fleet has been heard from. In round figures the value of the catch, which has arrived up to date, is not far short of a million dollars. There are still to be heard from the Be- luga with 31 whales, Mary D. Hume 10, Jeanette 2, Balaena 24, William Baylies ¢ and Alaska one whale. As each whale will a\‘ermfe at least $6000 these vessels will bring in another half-million, which tends to show that there is some truth in the old salt’s statement that “whaling is bet- ter than Klondiking.” The Narwhal sailed from San Francisco on March 9, 1807, and wintered in Lang- ton Bay, 300 miles to the eastward of the Mackenzie River. Just before —s=alling John Leary, a boatsteerer, was brought aboard drunk. Instead of getting better he developed delirium tremens, and when the Narwhal was six days from port he éumped overboard at night and was rowned. During the summer in the Arc- tic a Kanaka sailor got lost in the fog and a month later his shipmates found his remains. He had starved to death. Two other members of the Narwhal's crew died from natural causes, so that vessel hiad quite a casualty list. The Karluk only left here on March 15, 1898, so her crew have only been on & short cruise. Captain McGregor reports that the Balaena and Thrasher were to sail from Unalaska for S8an Francisco on October 26. The crew of the Karluk took seven whales, but the whalebone from the majority of them was sent down last Au- gust. The Grampus is the vessel that has had a long siege of it in the Arctic. She left here on March 21, 1895, and nearly all the men who went north on her came back with Captain Cumlslg. ¥ On March 9, 189, Charles Morton went out hunting for deer. He %n lost in a foy n_January zf and dfed of starvation. ADVERTISEMENTS. DOCTOR SWEANY H E RESTORES LOST VIGOR AND vitality to weak men.
