The first annual exhibition of the in- dustrial arts of California under the aus- pices of the California Club closed last night at Mechanics’ Pavilion after a suc- cessful week. The beautifully furnished annex held a crowd that found difficulty in moving about at times, so densely were the people packed.

Thirteen years ago the father of the girl was killed on the corner of Twenty-eighth and Church streets by a man named Mullen. From the testimony taken yesterday before Coroner Hill it appeared that the girl had not lived as comfortably as she should and that her husband had abused her be- fore he went away. Mrs. Anne Collins, grandmother of the dead girl, told a sensational story on the witness stand. She lives at 708 Howard street with Mrs. Emma Rollins, formerly Mrs. Lambert. She swore that Mrs. Glover had asked her for the loan of $25 for the purpose of having a criminal op- eration performed upon Mrs. Lahl. Mrs. Glover flatly contradicted Mrs. Collins on this point and said she had no knowledge whatever as to the author or the mode of her daughter’'s death. The girl called her shortly after mid- ight and asked for a cup of coffee, after rinking which she expired. Mr. Glover The fp (Cranomornen, went at once for his brother, Dr. Cosmas Glover, who, after a brief examination, pronounced Mrs. Lahl dead and advised him to notify the Coroner. Glover corrohorated the story told by his wife. He had neither knowledge no Suspicion as to the guilty person. At this stage of tne proceedings Coroner Hill interjected dramatically: ““You are under oath, and it is your duty and my duty to find out who Killed !hi! girl. This girl has been murdered. With proper care and attention, even if a crimi- nal operation had been performed, she might have recovered. I repeat it, she was deliberately murdered, and this crime must be punished.” The witness persisted that he knew nothing of the affair other than what he had told. Dr. Cosmas Glover corroborated | his brother's testimony as to his havin been called in after the death of the mrF The jury bro ht in a verdict to the ef- fect that the woman had been murdered by unknown persons. Mrs. Elizabeth Bullwinkle caused a mild sensation by repeating what her son Fred had told her regarding a statement made to him by the deceased to the effect |- that Mrs. Lahl suspected Lahl of having been the man who stole a sack of coin belonging to the Wells-Furgo Express Company from a wagon standing in front of the Anglo-California Bank last March. Lahl is said to be in Los Angeles at the present tume. B R S TR Sy S S S S S B | wifehood and motherhood, death or life she would not be parted from him. He turned and sprang to | the saddle, but she caught and clung to | the stirrup rein. With bit and spur he backed his horse for that wild leap from the battlements, “whence a hun- dred feet went down.” But she still clung, half swooning, her hair sweeping the ground and her limbs dragging. | Three times her husband broke her | clasp, and three times her hands closed again with the same convulsive clutch. Then, as commending hér to God, he pressed his horse back for the fearful leap, love gave her almost superhuman strength and she climbed to the saddle with him—*“By her love she overcame.” And her head was on his breast, where she smiled like cne at Test. Then the hofetin tark despair with his front hoofs poised in air, On the last verge rears amain. Now he hangs. he rocks between, and his nostrils curdle in, Now he shivers head and heof, and the flakes of foam fall off, And his face grows flerce and thin. Then back- znppung crashing back, a dead weight flung out to wrack, Horse and riders overfell. Oh! men sigh, that was a woman to die for. There are no such women now- adays. The high heroism is a thing of the past. Let the man who thinks so go into his kitchen a while.and watch his wife, worn and weary, while he ponders this saying: It's harder to live with the average | man than to die with him. There are doubtless women, worn out, broken down, crushed by the duties of who would | gladly trade all these years of suffering | and pain for the few joyous months that followed marriage, and then like | the Duchess May, smile at the dark leap, with the arms of the man she loved close clasping her. Every wife, every mother is a hero- ine. Is there no courage in putting that little hand into yours, and forsaking fatheér and mother for your sake? Is there no heroism in assuming the re- sponsibility and risk of motherhood? It is doubly heroic when the young | woman can look around her and see what loss marrjage so often entails, loss of health, of figure, of complexion, of strength. The best recognition that can be given to the heroism of women is that which minimizes its perils and smooths the path of duty as much as is pos: ble. It's a very beautiful thing to have a monument setting forth the virtues of the wife and mother, with a weep- ing husband hanging wreaths about it. But it is a very much more beautiful thing to be a happy, healthy woman and a “Joyful mother of children.” The crown of motherhood ought not to be a crown of martyrdom. The most practical recognition of the worth of woman, her courage, her suf- fering and her needs, is to be found in that “Godsend to women,” Doctor Plerce’s Favorite Prescription. There is no extravagance in that statement. The martyrdom of motherhood is done | away by the use of this great remedy | for female troubles, debilitating drains, and the inflammation and ulceration which cause such suffering. “I would like to express my grati- tude to you for the benefit I have re- ceived from your wonderful medicine, Dr. Pierce’'s Favorite Prescription,” writes Mrs. H. C. Anderson of South Britain, New Haven Co., Conn. (Box 33). “During the first month after I found I was going to become a mother | I could not keep anything on my sto- | mach. Was so sick that I had to go to bed and stay for weeks. In fact, T went to bed the 28th of June and never got up till the first of August. T tried different doctors, but with little bene- fit. T read about many being helped by using your medicine, so I thought I would give it a trial.

It kept me from having a m This makes my second c! first one I did not take scription’ and I had The little one miscarriage. lived just about two a sick all the time. s plump and healthy d wish. She is about nld now and is gaining in flesh every day. That letter offers a practical exam- | ple of what “Favorite Prescription” has has besieged the | brief | horse | | | | ninety | | | | done for thousands of women. Almost all the letters received by Dr. Pierce dwell on the wonderful absence of pain, the cheerful spirits, the perfectly safe and comfortable feeling as the hour of trial draws near, and then the crown- ing surprise of all, that the ordeal of the birth hour is so short and almost painless. But a good many other wo- men are pleased to tell the other side of the story, how robust their health becomes, how fine the form and fair the face that follows the use of this health-giving medicine. Mrs. Mary E. Lewis of Tanner, Gil- mer Co., W. Va, writes: “I will al- ways recommend Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, ‘Favorite Prescrip- tion’ and ‘Pleasant Pellets,’ for they cured me when doctors and other medi- cines failed. For fifteen years I suf- fered untold misery. When I com- menced taking Dr. Pierce’s medicines I had given up all hope of ever getting well. I could not lie down to sleep and everything I ate would almost cramp me to death. Was very nervous and could hardly walk across the room. I only weighed ninety pounds when I commenced taking these medicines six years ago; I now weigh one hundred and forty pounds and am having bet- ter health than ever before. My friends all say they can hardly believe that I am the same person; after being sick so long I have changed to be robust and rosy cheeked. I have taken fifteen bottles of the ‘Prescription,’ fifteen of the ‘Discovery’ and fifteen of the ‘Pel- lets.’ I take great pleasure in recom- mending your medicines to the sick, for I know that if it had not been for them I would not have been living to-day. I am very thankful to God, who put the great power in your medicines that cured me.” The secret of thes changes in health and appearance is easily ex- plained. The general health of women cannot be separated from the local health of the delicate and sensitive wo- manly organs. When these are dis- eased, the whole health suffers. The nerves are affected, and the result is sleeplessness and stlessne The functions of the ‘tomach are disturbed and the body suffers from lack of nu- trition. Offensive drains sap the strength and undermine the constitu- tion, while female weakness and ulcer- ation and inflammation afflict the mind as well as affect the body. The action of “Favorite Prescription” is such that all the delicate and sen; tive womanly organs are promptly helped and surely healed. Debilitating drains are dried up. inflammation and ulceration healed, female weakness cured and the whole of the organs pe- culiarly feminine are given vigor and elasticity. As a resul* of this the baby's coming is not dreaded, and its advent entails no trial beyond the natural strength. When local health is thus established the causes of the hollow cheek, dull eye and thin form are taken away. Sick women are invited to consuilt Dr. R. V. Pierce by letter without charge. For more than thirty years as chief consulting physician of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffale, N. Y., Dr. Pierce has made the treat- ment of diseases of women his special study. Of half a millicn cases treated -eight women out of every hun- dred have been perfectly and perma- nentlv cured. It's a wonderful record, attested by grateful letters from wo- men in every part of the country. | There is positively no charge for such consultation.

Desngning men sometimes invite wo- men to * \\rlte to a woman" on the score of rm‘a‘\v‘ng ‘a woman’s sympathy” and that “a woman understands woman's The “bearded lady” is evi- dently not found in the dime museum alone. The fallacy of such statements is evident when it is considered that if any woman can cure woman's diseases it must be by medical knowledge. Tt is only of recent years women have en- tered thé medical profession. All the medical knowledge any woman can have she must have learned from some man or the writings of some man, which makes ridiculous the claim that “woman understands woman” better than the men who taught and trained her. There is as far as known no wo- man physician qualified to practice connected with any proprietary medi- cine. It is absolutely certain that there s no woman with a record equal to Dr. Pierce’s: more than thirty years of special study of women's diseases, in which more than half a milllon have been treated and ninety-eight in every hundred have been completely cured.
