Assemblyman Works contends that it costs more to collect the taxes and keep the books on an assessment of this amount than the amount collected. Fur- thermore, the exemption will benefit a poor class of people, and he thinks that as an act of justice to these citizens the amendment should be submitted to the voters of the State. His amendment will also provide that where the amount of real property tax of any one citizen is 25 . compu y the city and county 1 whih e ol erty is located, it shall be exempt from taxation. The argument the Assembly- man advances in favor of this proposition is the same as that he gives for the adop- tion of the personal property exemption. 1d Stone Mill, There is one thing in Newpo blizzard could not stir—the Ol Store Mie The fact seems to be that this old Norse- men_ rellc grows more solid, stolld and fixed the longer it is exposed to the ole- Assail it ever so furiously, from the north, from the south, from the east or from the west, the storms of years make no {mpression on it, except, may. hap, to press its everlasting foundationg firmer in their bed.

Is MEAT BILL SATISFACTORY NO STRAIN CAUSED BY NEW POSSESSIONS IN PACIFIC. Berlin Newspapers Declare That In- spection Concessions Will Not Be Made to the TUnited States. Copyrighted, 1899, by the Associated Press. BERLIN, Jan. 14.—The United States Embassador, Andrew D. White, said to the correspondent of the Associated Press to-day for publication: “Our relations with Germany are thoroughly good and are steadily im- proving. I look to the proposed meat inspection as a step calculated to help rather than hurt us. What thinking men on each side wish to secure is a single inspection which will be valid throughout the empire and supersede the various local inspections which are often prompted by a panic arising from isolated trichinae cases, justly or un- justly attributed to foreign meats. We have been laboring to obtain this in- spection for a long time and now have strong hopes of a successful issue, There are unreasonable men on both sides of the Atlantic, but we believe the reasonable men here and in America are in the majority and they are more and more understanding the import- ance of good relations between the two countries. “Regarding the question of acquisi- tions in the Pacific and elsewhere the feeling of the two governments is ex- cellent. The German Foreign Office shows every desire that this state of things should continue and the German officials in every way work in harmony with us. In the Pacific as elsewhere there is not the slightest cause at pres- ent for the slightest ill-feeling arising out of the ambitions of either power and all questions are being steadily placed on a better footing.” The Bundesrath considered the meat inspection bill this week, and the favor- able view taken of the measure by the American Embassador is contrasted by the fact that the Agrarian press this week very severely criticised the bill. The Deutsche Tagezeitung, comment- ing upon the Cologne Gazette’s discus- sion of the bill on January 9, when that paper took the ground that the measure would be in no way detrimental, but rather advantageous to American meat, describes the measures ‘‘unheard of groveling before the United States,” and predicts that the Reichstag will not confirm such a bill. The Deutsche Agrar. Correspondenez, which, as the organ of the Federation of Husbandry, recently ' flercely at- tacked the scientific attache of the American embassy for having in the German press disposed of false state- ments set afloat by that body, goes even further than the Tagezeitung, heaping abuse upon those who are responsible for framing the bill and on the meas- ure itself, declaring it is utterly impos- sible for the Reichstag majority to in- dorse some of the essential provisions of the bill, especially the one delegating to the Bundesrath its own powers of prohibition. On the other hand, the Liberal press joyfully welcomes the moderate provi- sions of the bill. The Vossische Zeitung says: “If the Agrarians had their own way Germany ere this would have been in the throes of a tariff war with the whole world—England, Russla, Argen- tine and every agricultural and export- is to be belleved, are disposed to welcome the innovation.—London Globe. ing country.” The Tageblatt remarks that if a 'S DEATH CUT steamer Amur from Dawson. make a break for liberty.

C., Jan. 14—News of a strange tragedy, which oc- curred about the middle of December along the Yukon banks, and the details of which would supply the plot for a story like those of Bret Harte, was brought by men who reached here this morning by the On December 9, while an American named O'Brien, who was sen- tenced to imprisonment for one month for drunkenness, was engaged at work with the chain gang near the Gold Commissioner's office at Dawson, he suddenly took advantage of the negligence of his guard to It was not until night had fallen that his disappearance was discovered, and then the fugitive, having had a good start, had covered a considerable distance up the river on his way to American territory and freedom. until three hours after O'Brien’s escape, and, saving his fellow-prison- ers, none knew of his escape until the assembly call sounded at the barracks, and the pursuers-dashed over the Two constables went after him, Constables Macleth and Kelly. They had a fast dog team, and for a night the chase continued. The breaking down of the constables’ sled further aided the fleeine man, and it was not until when within but a few miles from the boundary that the pursuers came upon what had been their prisoner, but what The prisoner had been overtaken by the cold and fell asleep in a bed of jagged snow and ice, sleeping till death came to him.

This causes the Tageblatt to say: “It would be an enjoyable symp- tom if the Government began to show a little more backbone toward the Agra- rians.” Official statistics of German exports to the United States show that they amounted during the last quarter in the northern half of Germany, exclud- ing the Zittlau consulate, to $12,603,161, compared with $9,024,947 in 1897. In the southern half of Germany the exports to the United States amounted to $8,- 815,189, being an increase of $626,539. The total increase for the past quarter amounted to about $5,000,000, mainly due to sugar exports, which came to a standstill during the last quarter of 1898. The total exports for 1898, how- ever, show a decrease when compared with those of 1897. This also is mainly traceable to sugar, which from the Brunswick consulate alone the exports diminished over $2,500,000. The semi-official Berlin Post sum- marizing Germany’s export trade for 1898, says referring to the United States that excepting in the one item of sugar Germany's exports were not nearly so poor as it was at first feared they would be. A strong movement in favor of a pro- tective tariff has been set on foot by the horticulturists of Germany. A meet- ing of over 1000 of them has addressed a strongly worded petition to the im- perial government, reciting their rea- sons for demanding protection. The Minister of the Interior, ~ Count von Posadowski-Wehner, * has summoned the president of “the organization to furnish him with additional informa- tion on the subject and there is reason to believe the Government intends to frame a tariff measure which will meet the horticulturists’ views. A sensational high treason trial has been fixed for next month before the Supreme Court of Leipsig.

How Sound Is Carried. From a high ridge in Berkshire there is occasionally to be heard the sound of the firing of guns of Aldershot, thirty miles to the eastward. These guns are chiefly noticed in the summer time, when there is very rarely an east wind to help the sound.

Speclal Cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 189, by James Gor- don Bennett. PARIS, Jan. 14.—Rumors of a coup d'etat are in the air, and Premier Du- puy’s declaration in the Chamber on Thursday that the army would not fol- low the Savior, whose coming Paul de Cassaignac prophesied, has not suf- ficed to dispel them. The reports have taken different form from those prevalent a month ago. Then the fate of the republic was said to be in the hands of certain generals | who were somewhat roughly used over the Dreyfus case. Now Brussels is The perialist reaction. They seem. to think that Prince Victor has a much better chance of overthrowing the republic than the Duke of Orleans. Prince Victor has been biding his time and opportunity, while Philippe d'Orleans has burned his powder use- lessly in a manifesto which fell very flat some months ago. The Napoleonic pretender has a good card in his younger brother, Louis, who will soon taken for distant thunder, and thus cau: alarm at a time when hay harvest is in | progress. There is, however, a saying in | the district that the “guns are worse than | thunder,” and this because they forecast, | not a passing or local storm, but rather the approach ~ of generally unsettled | weather. It is easy to prove that it is | a continuity of a uniform moisture-laden | air stretching across that part of the country that is the cause of the phenome- non. The testimony of seamen and other trained observers goes to show that ho- mogeneous moist air or mist is the readi- est vehicle of sound; that dry air seldom or never conveys sound so readily, while an atmosphere of varying density ren- ders all sound capricious. From a sheltered, quiet lawn the Alder- shot guns had mnot been noticed all through the late summer until far on in one afternoon in the middle of August, when their sound rolled out with great distinctness, the weather, to all appear- ance, remaining unchanged and the ba- rometer standing firm and high. In the night, however, thunder was heard for some two hours, the first time for many | weeks, and in.the morning the guns were heard again more distinctly than before. In this case sound has been the clearest, and indeed the only telltale of a humid layer of the atmosphere brooding over ulxe countryside.—The Contemporary Re- view. —_————— On a Hot Sabbath. This story is told of a prominent preacher: On a hot Sabbath as he was preaching he took from his pocket what he thought was his handkerchief, shook it out and wiped his face, intently talk- ing all the time. To his surprise a broad smile was on every face in his audience, ‘when he discovered that what he had put in his pocket for a handkerchief that drawers, the legs of which were quite vis- ible as he wiped the perspiration from his face.—Homiletic Review.

TI've often wondered how you could ever see have a general's rank in the Russian army. Paul de Cassaignac is not the only one predicting another Napoleonic throne within a month or so. Others say not till the “affaire” is settled. Major Count Esterhazy has sent to M. Mazeau, President of the Court of Jassation,-a synopsis of the evidence which he says he would have given at the Dreyfus revision inquiry if a safe conduct had been granted him. He ad- mits his relations during 1894-95 at the request of Colonel Sandherr, chief of the Information Bureau, with a foreign agent, by which the count claims he supplied the colonel with important in- formation, “‘enabling him to combat the intrigues of an individual well known, but whose position was made unsafe to act openly against him.” Esterhazy adds that he was warned a month ahead of Matthew Dreyfus’ intention and denounced it at the in- stigation of Colonel Picquart. Subse- quent to this he had the closest rela- tions with his superiors and acted throughout on their instructions until January 7, 1898, when, he claims, the ‘War Ministry suddenly assumed a hos- tile attitude toward him. Fresh proceedings, the Count asserts, were instituted at the ‘~~tieation of his cousin, with the view of getting him out of the way and preventing him from testifying before the Court of Cassation. In conclusjon Esterhazy says: “Alone, exiled, abandoned by those who should have defended me, I have | resisted the most tempting offers and have refused to say or write a word against my chiefs. I hope the pain will be spared me of having to appeal to the tribunal of public opinion from the de- cision of the Court of Cassation.” The_sgvage‘naélizlor. “Men,” sald the Dear Girl, “have as much idle curiosity as women."” “More,” said the Savage Bachelo: her with the gas turned so low.—Chi- cago News. - 3 “Women's curlosity is always actiye.”"— | Cincinnati Enquirér, the danger point. | royalists appear to favor an im- | ‘Were Detected in the Act of Smuggling in the Drug. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Jan. 14.= Opium smuggling and measures to pre= vent it constituted the principal topic of discussion at the monthly meeting of the Board of Prison Directors to-day. Besides the consideration of a number of cases the vigilance of the guards de~ tected throughout the month, it was agreed to ask the Legislature to pass & law making the offense of bringing the drug upon the grounds a felony. Collaterally the board took up ths case of Guards Cramer and Brooks, who were discharged last month for alleged complicity in the contraband trade. A convict gave the officials the tip which led to the discovery and the facts came out on the examination of J. J. McCanthy for the same offense, McCanthy is serving a ten years’ sen- tence from Los Angeles County for bur- glary and is alleged to be the man for whom Cramer and Brooks were ob= taining the drug. He denies this, how- ever, and maintains that he knows neither. According to the statements of the officials before the board it appears that C. H. Miller, a two-year man, serving a sentence for forgery com- mitted in San Joaquin, supplied the bulk of the information. Miller claims he was approached by McCanthy and requested to carry letters to Brooks. At first he declined, but after consult- ing Captain of the Guard Birlem en- tered into the scheme. The letters were written in cipher. Miller took the leters to Birlem, who, after making a translation, returned them and directed him to deliver them to Brooks. There were some ten letters, all relating tothe purchasing of opium and several con- taining money. A close watch was kept on these men. Shortly following the receipt of a letter containing the necessary funds to purchase the “dope” Cramer was seen to walk down the wall to Brooks’ post and hand him a package. Cramer returned from San Francisco that morning. About an hour later Brooks lowered a water bucket from the wall at a prearranged time with Miller, who was there osten- sibly to fill it. In the bucket ‘which was lowered a two-pound package of opium’ | was found. Miller slipped it into his pocket, filled the bucket for Brooks.and then hastened to Victor Gilardin, keeper of the lower gate and reported the facts. ‘Warden Hale dismissed Brooks and Cramer,upon this showing without call- ing for an explanation.-McCanthy, the convict, stated:to the board.that Miller was an - enemy of his and that this charge had.-been concocted for revenge. The directors regarded the matter in another light, however, and deprived McCanthy of ‘all ‘his’credits. The constant use of opium-by the convicts, which the officials apparently cannot prevent, has; led: Warden Hale to draft a bill-making it a felony to bring that drug or any other narcotic upon the grounds. :‘He submitted the matter to the board. ‘The draft did not quite meet the views of the di- rectors, so Devlin and Fitzgerald were appointed a committee to draw up a bill which shall meet the requirements. At the same time the warden was au- thorized to go to Sacramento and urge its passage before the Legislature. Leon Crosmond, who 'is serving two years for burglary.from Yuba County, was ordered released on parole, as was Claude Armstrong.

The mystery of life and death has puz- =zled many a wise man. The alchemists of old searched in vain for some combination of drugs that would prolong life indefinite- iy Common sense, chemis- try and medical science have combined in % this age to | ;s_l}ow man the way to a long and healthy | life. | Common sense teaches that a man should | not over-work or over-worry; that he should take ample time for his meals, for Testing and for recreation and sleep; that he shoul not neglect the little ills of life, because they are the precursors of serious and fatal maladies. . Chemistry has enabled men to make combinations of drugs that were im- ossible in the days of the alchemists. edical science has taught when, how and why these combinations of drugs should be used. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis~ covery is the most valuable of-all health- restoring medicines, and the most effective. Its first work is upon the fountain-head of life—the stomach. A man who has a weak and impaired stomach and who does not groperly digest his food will soon find that is blood has become weak and impover- ished, and that his whole body is improp- erly and insufficiently nourished. This, medicine makes the stomach strong, facil- itates the flow of digestive juices, restores the lost appetite, makes assimilation per- fect, invigorates the liver and purifies and enriches the blood. Itis the great blood- maker, flesh-builder and nerve tonic. It makes men strong in body, active in mind and cool in judgment. It does not make flabby fat, but solid, muscular flesh, nerve force and vital en- ergy. All medicine dealers sell it.
