BABY'S FACE [iASS OF SORES They Almost Closed Her Eyes. Physicians of No Benefit. Healed by CUTICURA. When my Hitle sister was four months old her cheeks became red and inflamed. Small pimplos broke out over her face and it was one mass of scabs, which almost closed her eyes and reached into the corners of her mouth. For several Weeks a physician attended her, but as she de- rived little or 1o benefit from his treatment We searched for other means. We bought cakeof CuTicuma BoaP and a box of COTICURA (olnt- ment). Her face healed aud she grew healthy agnin. You can use this Jetter 2 a testimonial. March 19,98, ROSA BURGER, Solomon, Kan.

SKILLED LABOR NOW N DEMAND CN TRANSPORTS ' Workmen Control the Situation. e < Id o pa | TROUBLE ON OVERTIME PAY s e AT ANY TIME NOW. e SR | Uncle Sam Has Seventeen Troopships | That He Wants to Get Away by 1 First Week in October | If Possible. SRR | Skilled labor is in demand on the water | front. The fleet of transports now in port has created an immense amount of work, and in consequence machinists, boiler- makers, carpenters and painters are working night and day, Sundays and holl- days. This state of affairs has ralsed some very fine points in the various unions. Directly a steamer has the red, white and blue stripes painted on her funnel, the men look upon her as a Government transport, and in consequence claim eight hours as a day's work. This state of af- fairs has given rise to a number of con- ferences between masters and men, and the latter have invariably shown a de- to be reasonable. hings have now come to a stage, how- ever, that Will result in some material changes this week, or else there will be a ral strike. The boilermakers have hitherto been working nine hours on ship work and getting paid for ten hours. Now they demand an eight-hour day with ten hours’ Under the old rules, for eleven hours’ night work they got twenty- two hour ¥, but now they insist upon 373 Lrur v 3| awenty hours' pay for .ue same < and clasped ny amount of work.

Her smoke- stack has been painted yellow and the red, white and blue bands of the trans- port service painted on it. In consequence the machinists, boiler-makers, paint- ers and carpenters claim that she is a Government boat and refuse to work more than eight hours a day.

A thousand spectators witnessed the thrilling sight. Earlston went up a distance of 1000 feet with the balloon. When he left the ground he had hold with his ‘tecth of a rope attached to the bar of the para. chute. He at once set to work to give an exhibition of his skill and performed a number of tricks in midair. At the height of about 1000 feet he cut loose. The parachute opened promptly and he began to journey downward, holding on to the parachute bar. As he came down, not any faster than usual, the bar of the parachute struck against one of the new Mission street road’s trolley wires. That threw the aeronaut. Down went Earlston, striking on his head. A crowd of people ran to him. He had good nerve and managed to get upon his feet and walked a step or two. Then he was carried to the theater. After a while he was put on a car and went to the City and County Hospital by himself. It was found he had a slight . - D0 -+ & G- . L R o e e e o o ) fracture of the skull and was also cut about the head. Earlston insisted on walking from the hospital to a street- car and went home to his lodging seem- ingly not seriously the worse for his fall. sarlston is well known among aero- nauts and has been touring the Pacific Coast towns recently, giving exhibitions. He weighs fully 170 pounds and has had previous falls from ballons, being lame as the result of a previous accident.

Owing to the fact that the Rlo de Janeiro has been taken for atransport, ordinarily there would have been no regu- Jar mail for the Orient until the 29th inst. The Postmaster, therefore, appiled to the transport authorities, and the mail will go on the Grant. As the Cjty of Peking is to be taken as a transport and the America Maru has been delayed owing to fire breaking out | in her coal bunkers, the Postmaster will arrange to send mail out on both the Sherman and Sheridan. The Honolulu mail was put aboard the hospital ship Relief last Saturday. but as she did not sall it will be taken off and put aboard the Australia. It might have been sent out on the Belgian King, which sailed Saturday night, but nothing would have been gained, as the transport is a slow ‘When she does go she will carry | boat and the Australia will reach Hono- | lult as soon as she in spite of her four days’ start. he transport Aztec nearly sailed Satur- day night without cooks. The men went ashore for a last drink and got left. fiickily the vessel had to anchor in the stream on account of the fog and the chief steward, discovering that the men were not aboard, went ashore and rounded them up. The Sherman docked yesterday at Fol- som street, taking the place of the Belgian King, and the Sheridan, at Harrison street, taking the place of the Aztec. One of the Chinese who came down from the canneries on the ship Invincible made his escape Saturday night and there is likely to be trouble in consequence. Two of the coolies had somebody else’s apers, and the immigration officer re- used them a landing. One, however, got into a ghore boat and is now safely hid in Chifiatown. A vigorous search is be- ing made for him, and if caught he will be deported. Three French barks are having a trial of speed to San Francisco. They are the Sainte Anne, Cambronne and Genevive Molinos. They all left Swansea 117 days ago, and one or the other should reach ort in a week or so. The Sainte Anne Ps a brand new vessel on her maiden voy- age, and she is looked upon here as a winner. She was spoken on June 17 in Jatitude 5 north, longitude 29 west, while three days later the Genevive Molinos was only in latitude 1 north, longitude 25 west. 'he Cambronne has not been spoken since leaving Swansea. The Oakland excursionists who went to “A_Night In Venice” on the tug Union had a disagreeable time of it on the re- turn trip. They got lost in the fog after entering Oakland Creek, and the tug got stuck on a_mudbank. The tide was go- ing out and the Union could not be got off CAbout four hours later the launch Brisk came along and the people on the tug lost no time In halling her. They were taken off and, tired out and dis- usted, were landed about 4 a. m., at roadway wharf. CARRERA IN TROUBLE. Cashierof the Union Pacific Salt Com- pany Short in His Accounts. ‘When Edward G. Carrera, cashier of the Union Paciflc Salt Company, closed his handsome residence at 3363 Washington street and departed on what was supposed to be his summer vacation about two weeks ago, his friends were unaware that he was under a clotd, and they did not know that Mrs. Carrera, instead of leav- ing the city with her husband, went to the home of her father, Hugo Herzer, where she now is. Neither did they know hat before taking his departure from the a deeded his fine residence to tional Bank, to protect that stitution from possible loss through his peculiar financial operations. It appears that Carrera, in addition to being the cashier of the salt company, also acted as the confidential clerk of the president of the corporation, John Barton. Mr., Barton trusted arrera implicitly and when he expected to be absent from his place of business for a day was in the habit of signing a number of blank checks and leaving them with his clerk to fill out and use in the payment of bills. Carrera filled out these checks so indus- triously that President Barton's balance in the First Natlonal Bank was quickly hausted. It was not until. aggregating fts a goodly sum had accumulated, that one of the notices sent out ¥ ank officlals informing him of the conditions of his account, escaped tne vigilance of Carrera and caught Barton's eye. Upon_ receiving this notice Barton called on President Wilson of the bank and at the latter's suggestion sent for Carrera and demanded an explanation. The result was the deeding by Carrera of his property to the bank and his sudden departure for parts unknown. Carrera's alleged peculations are sald to amount to at least $5000 and may reach double that amount. His residence is valued at $17,000 and is mortgaged for $6,500. Mr. Barton has placed the entire matter in the hands of the bank officials and de- clines to be interviewed on the subject. Mr. Herzer and Mrs. Carrera say they do not know where Carrera is, nor why he went awa o e ee——— Company M Banqueted. Company M of the First California Vol- unteers was royally entertained at the Page-street Armory Saturday night by the ex-members:of Batteries G and H of the Second Artillery, N. G. C. The large armory was handsomely decorated for the occasion and the ex-members outdid themselves in giving their comrades a right royal reception. Sr. B. F. Fleming presided and the ad- dress of the evening was delivered by J. | A. Mitchell, who spoke of the love and adoration which the people of San Fran- cisco had for the boys who went to the front to defend the flag and the country it represented. Major T. F.
