THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1898. LIEUT. HOBSON ON | ~ PATRIOTIC KISSING Hero of Many Osculatory Ex- ploits Utters a Defiance to His Critics. NEW YORK, Dec. 21.—A Denver special to the Herald says: & Lieutenant Hobson said to-day in regard to the criticisms that have & been passed upon his kissing exploits: s “My critics, I fear, are not patriotic. I have kissed a large num- & ber of women, mostly young school girls, who have thus expressed & their patriotism. It was simply a matter enthusiasm that found &£ vent that way. It was not a tribute to Hobson, the man, but to & Hobson, the nav representative. Any man—any young man, at & least—in my position, would have done just as I have done. ~ The & women and are not at all to blame in the premises. If thereis & criticism to be made the responsibility is entirely mine and I'm per- fectly willing to assume it. “The recent scenes may not appear well in the cold light of press statements, but in a patriotic throng there is always an intensity of feeling, among the women especially, and their patriotism found expression in this manner. which is entirely agreeable to me. I have nothing to apologize for and yet I regret deeply the bitterness of the criticisms that have been my ac assed or Lieutenant Hobson was the guest of the city of Denver to-day. He arrived from Kans at 4 o'clock this morning, but remained in his sleeper until 8 o'clock. when he was met by a committee of the Sons of the Revolution and escorted to the Brown Palace Hotel where b kfast was served.

RABBI DARMSTETTER’S STORY OVERHEARD TEAMSTERS BOAST OF AN EXPLOIT. Showed a Roll of Bills and Said They Had Burned - Num- ber of Boxes Con- taining Books. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. CLEVELAND, Dec. 21.— Develop- ments of a sensational nature in the Standard Oll investigation came to light to-day when Attorney General Monnett began taking depositions for the purpose of proving that the Stand- ard Oil Company, just previous to the issue of the Supreme Court writ order- ing that the books of the company be produced in court, had destroyed a large number of them. The taking of depositions to prove Attorney General Monnett’s allegations was commenced before Harry C. Mason to-day. The most {important witness produced was John Darmstetter, rabbi of a Bohemian church. Rabbi Darm- stetter testified that one evening three or four weeks ago he went into the saloon of E. H. Pollock to see Pollock, who is an official of his church. He said that at the time Pollock was wait- ing upon several Bohemian laborers, who were employes of the Standard Oil Company, and he sat down until the saloon-keeper got through with his cus- tomers. Rabbi Darmstetter said that one of the men in the saloon was quite hilarious and was asked: “Why are you feilows doing so much | treating?” Two of the men then engaged in a conversation, and, “flashing” a roll of bills, said that they had got some good stuff working overtime. One of them, who was a teamster, said that he and another teamster had loaded up a lot | of books at the Euclid-avenue office of the Standard Oil Company and taken them to the company's furnaces, where they were burned. Attorney General® Monnett secured the residence and name of one of the drivers, and when a constable went to subpena him to-day the man declared: “My job is gone if I have to testify. Another teamster of the Standard Oil Company, when informed that he would probably be called upon to testify, is reported to have said: “They can’t catch me. What we took were boxes, and I can't tell what they contained. Edward O'Hearn, a teamster in the employ of the Standard Oil Company, | was found and placed on the witness | stand. He testified that on the Satur- day before Thanksgiving day he was | ordered to go to the office of the com- pany on Euclid avenue and carry some there to " the company’s He said he got the boxes and delivered them as crdered. He did not know the names of the employes who turned the boxes over to him nor those in the warehouse. He declared he did not | know what was in the boxes and denied having made the declaration in a sa- loon that they contained books. Gifts for My Ladie.

HEROIC ELEVATOR BOY SAVES LIFE Rescues Occupants of a Burning Flat. STAYS BRAVELY AT HIS POST MAKES TEN TRIPS THROUGH CHOKING SMOKE. Evidence of Incendiarism in the| Destruction of a Large Apart- ment Building in South Chicago. Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Dec. apartment building, the largest struc- | | ture of its kind on the south side of | the city, was almost completely de- | stroyed by fire to-night, entailing a | loss that will exceed $100,000. Scores of occupants of the building | were saved from injury by the heroism | of Paul L. Fischer, the elevator boy | employed in the structure. Through | choking clouds of smoke and almost unendurable heat, the boy made ten trips with his car and carried those on the upper floors to places of safety. Then, exhausted from his efforts, he struggled out of the building and was taken care of by those he had rescued. “The first intimation of the fire,” | said E. M. Roberts, one of the tenants, “‘was the smell of smoke. I ran to the fourth floor with Mr. Wells and found a fire in the sitting room of a vacant flat. Straw and wood were burning. | Mr. Wells and myself put out the flames, after which we returned to our flat. On our way up we found flames on the fifth floor, where some wood | and hay were burnedin a vacant ‘flat | on that floor. This was put out and when we returned to our flat the flames | had reached it. I will report my ex- | perience to the police to-morrow.” Dr. E. M. Rosecranz, the owner of the building, mortgaged it some time ago to the Northwestern Life Insurance Company. DUEL WITH REVOLVERS ON A CROWDED STREET| | Fatal Combat Near the Northwestern | « Railway Depot in ! Chicago. | CHICAGO, Dec. 21.—In the midst of the ' crowds of pedestrians on Kenzie street, close to the passenger depot of the North- western Railroad, to-night two men en- gaged in a duel with revolvers. One of them was killed and the other probably | owes his life to the fact that his antag- | onist’s weapon contained an empty cart- ridge. Dennis E. Riley, a detective em- ployed by the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, was the victim of the encounter, and his slayer is Joseph A. Mayer of Pleasant Plain, Wis, The men had at one time been friends, but lately had become estranged. An old quarrel was renewed when they met on the street to-night, and finally Riley drew a revolver. Mayer then drew his weapon, and the two men stood facing ene another with leveled revolvers. Crowds of people scattered in alarm as they saw the flash of the weapons, and Mayer and Riley had full possession of the sidewalk. he pause between the two men was brief. Almost simultaneously they began working the triggers of their revolvers. apon failed to act, but Mayer's arged, and the bullet struck his adversary above the heart. Mayer then fired a second time and wounded Riley over the left eve. The detective dropped toythe sidewalk, while Mayer ad- vanced and stood over his body. He was taken into custody without trouble.

There are many thousands of wise wo- men in this country who, when they found that they were suffer- ing ~ from weak- ness or disease of their distinctly womanly organ- isms, “promptly wrote to an emi- nent and skillful physician, with a world-wide repu- tation, instead of trusting their cases to some ob- scure physician with but limited practice and ex- g perience. There are many reasons why a wise woman fol- lows this coursc. The chances are that an obscure physician of small practice will not diagnose troubles of this nature prop- erly. If he does, he will insist on the obnoxious examinations and local treat- ment from which every sensitive, modest woman shrinks. The specialist referred to is Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consultin physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgi- cal Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. Thirty years ago he discovere a wonderful medicine for discases peculiar to women, that may be used effectively in the privacy of the home, and does away with all necessity for exam- inations and local treatment. This medi- cine is known as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned in wife- hood and motherhood. It makes them strong, healthy and vigorous. It allays in- flammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain and tones and builds up the nerves. Taken during the period of prospective maternity, it banishes the usual discomforts and makes baby’s coming easy and almost pain- less. It insures the little new-comer’s health and an ample supply of nourish- ment.
