Nearly 3000 men and women sat down at long tables in the various rooms at the big pals There were all kinds of peo- ple there, dressed in all kinds of clothes White men elbowed with colored men and | white women with colored women. There were four Japanese. and three Chinese nt, but the Chinese were merel ators and sat in the second gallery. ald they had come to see Mr. pect from that of the Metropolitan | Opera-house at the $10 dinner of the Democratic Club. There were no floor embellishments, but just great long av- enues of tables covered with plain white piates. The only ornaments were bunches of cclery and granite ware coifee pots. There was no concerted attempt tc seat the 3000 diners simultaneously. All were | told to go in and sit down. About 7 o'clock nearly every seat of the| men’s table was occupled and the| dinper began. Over 60 waiters | started out Into the main hall with soup a few minutes before 7 o’clock. The menu included soup, fish, roast beef, turkey, ice cream, coffee and cigar: Three thousand bottles of wine were gra- tuitously served by a wine company. At 9 o'clock the committee and speak- ers ascended the platform. Mr. Bryan recelved a vociferous ovation, the diners in many instances standing on chairs and tables and the women waving napkins wildly. James R.

Copyrighted, 1899, by the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, April 1 ‘With the reas- sembling of the Reichstag the imperial Chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, has re- turned from Baden-Baden, where he spent a fortnight for his health. His return is ironically greeted by the Agrarian press as showing that he Is a mere figurehead and that Baron Von | the Government. The most important matter, aside from the Samoan interpellation, was the introduction in the Diet of the mid- land canal bill. The Agrarian oppc tion to this most important Prus: measure of the session has incre: in spite of the fact that the Emperor has strongly identified himself with it. The support it is receiving from indus- trial circles and the strong pressure ex- erted in the other quarters in behalf of the measure makes it probable that the bill will become law. In the negotiations for a reciprocity treaty betw Germany and the United States the former claims that under the mdst favored nation clause the United States must in any case ] grant the same concessions as recently | granted to Switzerland and France. The United States disputes this, con- tending that the most favored nation | | clause does not apply to special con- cessions actually made as in the case of the French treaty. Regarding the | Swiss treaty it is contended in behalf | of the United States that it was con- cluded under a misapprehension upon the part of the American Government, and that it is probable the whole treat will be denounced by the United States as Inconsistent with all America’s pre- vious commercial treati There can be no question of Ame this respect. It is said that a | procity treaty will be negotiated, many granting equiv. | At the Kfel navy ment has been experimenting with a vessel fitted with a motor which is the invention of a Hungarian named Pe- triano. The advantages claimed for the motor are the use of crude oil as fuel and a reversible action, ilitating storing and allowing the vessel to be driven ahead or astern. It is claimed that the motor saves 50 per cent in fuel, that it does not require frequent cleaning and that Herr Krupp offered ican feeling in re a large sum for the world’s patent up- | on conditions which the inventor re- fused. There is much comment in diplo- matic cireles over the speclal favor shown by Emperor William this week to the Russian actress Savinia, who is giving a serles of performances at one of the royal theaters with the St. Pe- tersburg Imperial Theater Company. His Majesty has presented splendid gifts to the leading artists and has shown most extraordinary attention. It is believed this is intended as a bid for Russian favor. The Emperor has presented a gold chain and set of jewels worth 18,000 marks, as a prize to be contested for at the Cassel singing tournament at ths end of May, not only by the leading German singing societies, but by a number of similar societies from the United States and elsewhere.

THEY RIDICULE IT. | Many People Ridicule the Idea of an | Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia And Stomach Troubles. Ridicule, However, Is Not Argu- ment, and Facts Are Stub- born Things. | Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases so obstinate to cure that peo- | ple are apt to look with suspicion on any | remedy claiming to be a radical, perma- nent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such pride themselves on thelr acuteness in never being humbugged, es- peclally in medicines. This fear of being humbugged can be carried too far; so far, in fact, that many people suffer for years with weak diges- tion rather than risk a little time and money in falthfully testing the claims made of a preparation so reliable and uni- versally used as Stuart's Dyepepsia Tab- lets. stly different in one important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines for the reason that they are-not a secret pat- ent patent medicine; no secret is made | of thefr ingredients,' but analysis shows them to contaln the natural digestive ferments, pure uscc‘?tlc pepsin, the diges- | tive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hydras- tis and nux. They are not cathartle, neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they cure indigestion on the common-sense plan of digesting the food | eaten thoroughly before it has time to ferment, sour and cause the mischief. This is the only secret of thefr success. Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stofmach troub- les because they act entirely on the bow- els, whereas the whole trouble is really in _the stomach.

BAKERSFIELD, April 15.—Merry war is on between the Southern Pactfic and the Valley road. It arose over the excursion to Fresno, where the Bakersfield and Ral- sin City men will play baseball to-mor- row. When the excursion first was broached its promoters went to the Southern Pacific to arrange for a reduced rate. They were told it would be a fare and a half, or $420. The Valley road of- ficlals were then seen. They made a rate | of one fare, $3. Then the Southern Pacifi made a rate of $2 ing that passengers trains. The Valley road chopped to must go on regula; send Agent Kane along to extend all the courtesies to the excursionists. This made the Southern Pacific people mad. They declared the Valley road vio- lated the ethics of railroading. They then made a rate of $1% and hung a blaz- ing banner across the street on which was inscribed: “Grand Fresno Excursion—Baseball— Bakersfield Athletics vs. Fresno—Posi- tively lowest rates Southern Pacific Com- pany, Sunday, April 16. Choice of trains; ample equipment.” An attempt was made to swing the ban- ner across the street from the Southern Hotel, but before this was done Valley road influence caused it to come down. Then they made an attempt to swing it from the Arlington Hotel. The same In- fluence prohibited it from going up there. Finally the banner was moved down on Nineteenth street and swung from the City Hall to a vacant house. There it flutters to-night. Circulars of each company flew uhout! forth the of- | the streets all day, settin fers of the rival lines. Crowds of men gathered here and there and talked ex- citedly. When it was announced the Valley road would have a brass band go along, ame the word th Southern Pacific would do likew people are with the Valley road, standing the Southern Pacific's lower rate, and many declare they would pay full fare rather than go by the Southern Pacific. A large crowd will make the trip. Late this afternoon it was reported that the Southern Pacific agent offered to sell seventy-five tickets for $1 25 each. The people say the Valley road made a cheap “churslnn possible, and now they will not go back on the new compan: Football Teams Matched.

Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, April 15.—The case of the people vs. James Cuff, now on trial in the Superior Court of Modoc County, brings into prominence a dastardly at- tempt to take the lives of a lover and his sweetheart by a rival suitor. Three vears ago James Cuff and A. M. Mil- ler were rivals for.the hand of Miss Lusk. Cuff was wealthy and was de- termined to win the young lady by fair means or foul. Miss Lusk favored his rival. When Cuff saw his case was hopeless he attempted to take the life of the girl he professed to love. One night he slipped up to her house, tore off a window screen and threw a handkerchief saturated with chloro- form upon the face of his sleeping sweetheart. The handkerchief found in the room belonged to Cuff and the tracks at the bedroom window cor- responded to those of Cuff. A. M. Miller, the favored suitor, also was the object of the rejected lover's vengeance. Miller kept bachelor apart- ments. Strychnine was introduced into his sugarbowl—a full half ounce. He put two teaspoonsful into his coffee and a few minutes after partaking of the beverage was in convulsions. By superhuman efforts his life saved. Circumstantial evidence pointed to Cuff as the poisoner. He was arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to twenty years in the State penitentiary. The case w ppealed to the Supreme Court and a new trial was ordered, on i chemi- cal analy: of the crystals remaining in the strychnine phial and of the con- tents of the sugar bowl had not been made. To provide against a repetition of this irregularity on the second trial District Attorney Bonner sent to Red- ding for Dr. Ferdinand Stabel, an au- thority on poisons and their effects. Dr. Stabel made a chemical analysis of the contents of the phial and the sugar bowl and pronounced the foreign ele- ment strychnine. On the first trial it was brought out that Cuff had pur- chased the poison in Alturas. Stabel was on the stand three day He returned to Redding on Fri- day. The case is being tried before Judge Harrington. Dr. IN GLASS JARS Sanitary Innovation at Los Angeles. Special Dispatch to The Call LOS ANGELES, April 15.—The order issued by the Los Angeles Board of Health, forbidding dairymen to deliver milk in glass jars to residences, went into effect to-day. “Our object,” Powers in ans the measure, furnish th said Health Officer vering criticisms upon to compel people to r own receptacles for milk. This involves largely a question of mi- crobes. Glass jars cannot be sterilized. This was the ground on which a i lar order was made recently in land. People are less cleanly about the milk they use than almost anything else. Many people are on the subject. Other Glass jars can be thoroughly sterilized with hot water, with hot air, which is used in New York, or by other pro- cesses, but it is not always done. “Orie housekeeper may cleanse ‘a jar thoroughly, another may only rinse it, while another may use the bottle for various purposes, or let it stand un- covered on the back porch before re- turning it. The dairymen should see that all bottles are lded before us- ing. Someétimes they do; generally they don’t. Then bottles are distributed again and again, the same one prob- ably never going twice to one house. This ¢ tes a wholesale opportunity for car; ng infection. “People would not think of using a tincup or dish of any kind that was passed from house to house, vet it would be no worse than to use these milk jars that have been goodness knows where. “It is a question similar to that of the use of towels public schools,” | continued Dr. Powers. “A State law requires schools to be supplied with towels. Possibly 100, 200 or 300 childrer may use one towel, and it would hard to find 100 children without a ¥ one among them. It is a poor law ar ds to a filthy and unsanitary prac- “Of course, it is the same with a towel in any public place. No one wants to use a towel that has been used by a sick person; but how is he | going to know who used it before him? The sooner people learn the danger of | the promiscuous use of such things the | sooner disease will decrease.” The needle of approval) points to those men’s all-wool suits for eight dollars.
