I received a letter in- ?ulrlnz s to its effects, to which I replied as ollows: “I am a Presbyterian clergyman, a Doctor of Divinity, not of Medicine, but I am not afraid to say that Dufiy’s Formula and Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey are the purest and most effect- ive preparations as medicines | know of, and my experience is a Jarge one.” 1 ama temperance man, and never used, and wounld neveradvige any AN Or Wom:d to use, any intoxicant as a bever- age. My recommendation of Duffy’s Formula and Whiskey was made after a thorough knowl- edge of their great value as medicines. The statement was made deliberately and based u facts, and I do not hesitate to stand by it." many temperance men who have written me on this subject do not seem to realize that I wasa ftemperance man before many of them were born.

MUST APPEAR FOR CONTEMPT HIS TRIP TO MANILA MAY BZ DELAYED. o e Court Remarked That It Was Un- heard of for a United States Offieer to Disregard a Federal Judge. S e Colonel Robert W. Leonard of the Twenty-eighth Infantry, United States Volunteers, is in trouble. He is up against a Judge of the United States District Court, and has been cited to appear be- fore United States District Judge de Ha- ven at § o'clock this morning to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt for refusing to obey an order of court. On Thursday of this week Judge de Ha- ven Issued a writ commanding the colonel to produce in court at 1l o'clock yester- day morning the body of Charies Hook, a member of Company I of the colonel's regiment. The boy's mother, Emilia Hook, had obtained a writ of habeas corpus on her alleging that Charles was not more than 17 years old and that he was her sole support. Deputy United States Marshal Burnham served the writ on the colonel at the Presidio. “The boy is here,” said Cclonel Leon- ard, “and he is upstairs. If you want him you may go and get him.” X I have no authority to bring the boy, replied Mr. Burnham. ‘“‘This writ direc vou, the colonel commanding the regi- ment, to produce the boy in court.” “1 won't bring him,” sald the colonel, with the air of General Grant when he declared that he proposed to flght on a certain line even it it occupied the entire summer., When 11 o’'clock came yesterday neither the colonel nor the boy appeared in court. An adjournment was thereupon ordered until 2 p. m., no one in the courtroom be lieving for an instant that the colonel would dare remain away power of the Federal court. When the hour of 2 p. m. arrived every- body connected with the case was present in court_except the hoy and the colonel. Deputy Marshal Burnham was placed un- der oath and recited into the amazed and indignant ears of justice all the details of his meeting with the dauntless colonel and the conversation that had taken place on_that occasfon. On the wall to the left of the judicial seat {s bhung a portrait in oil of the late Judge Hoffman. The face of the portrait seemed to wear an unusually stern ex- pression as the eves of Judge de Haver rested upon it. In a moment afterward Judge de Haven ieaned forward in his chais and addressing United States At- torney Coombs remarked in that slow, deliberate and calm judicial way which is characteristic of the Judge of the District Court that it was an unheard of proceed ing for a United States officer to refuse to obey a summons from the United States District Court. The court then ordered a writ issued commanding Colonel Leonard to appear this morning at 0 o'clock and show cause why even he should not be punished for contempt. About an hour after the adjournment the boy was brought to the office of United States Marshal Shine by a ser- geant of Compan but the "Marshal could not receive him. He must be sur- rendered by the colonel in person. The Twenty-eighth Regiment {s booked to sall for Manfla on Monday on ona of the six traneports which will leave on that date for the Philippines. An apology more or less abfect from the military rnml of view must be made to the court f the.colonel wishes to eafl with his com- mand to slaughter the Tagallos. S Dewey Celebration Plans. A meeting of the Dewev celebration committee was held last evening, Captain E. A. Lorenzo presiding. The rain kept most of the chairmen of sub-committees flwn{ and not much progress was made in the absence of reports. The finance committee H‘Y]Or(ed that business men had been approached and were willing to con- tribute funds, but no definite amounts had been mentifoned yvet. The parade commit- tee reported that about fifty organizations had expressed a desire to.take part in the parade. Among the organizations that will parade are Golden Gate and Califor- nia Commanderies, K. T. The invitation committee reported that 20,000 invitations to the exercises in the Pavilion will be ready at the next meeting. The chairman was authorized to telegraph to Admiral Dewey and invite him to attend the cele- bration, or, if that is not feasible, to name some one to represent him. Secretary Mc- Naughton suggested and the suggestion was adopted that the next meeting of the committee should be held in room 2, Flood building, next Wednesday evening. The subject of the Dewey float for the procession was informally discussed and the chairman was Instructed to have the plans ready to report as soon as possiuvie. Sbgtel Reception to Kansas Soldiers. The Twentieth Kansas will leave for the East several days earlier than was an- ticipated and next Tuesday evening at Mechanics’ Pavilion will probahly be t.e last opportunity the public will have {o do honor to this famous regiment. In connection with the short drill they will give there will be a band and promenade Goncert. General Shafter and, staff will review the troops. General Funston and General Wholly will also be invited as uests of the evening; also officers of tne "nited States battleship Iowa. Reserved seat tickets are now on sale at Sherman, Clay & Co.’s, corner Sutter and Kearny streets. RECEIVERS NOT NECESSARY. Supreme Court on Building and Loan Association Law. Some time ago the Attorney General, upon the complaint of the State Commis- sioners of the Bullding and Loan Associa- tions, began actions against the Union Building and Loan Association of Sacra- mento and jts directors. The Commission- ers concluded after examination that the corporation was conducting its business in an unsafe manner, such as to make its further proceeding hazardous to the pub- lic and to those having funds in its cus- tody. The plainufis asked that a re- ceiver be appointed by the court to take charge of the corporation’s business. This Wag done by the lower court and an ap- peal was taken. The Supreme Court, after reviewing the law relating to these corporations, con- cluded that while a recelver may be ap- ointed it does not follow that one should ave been appointed under the facts of this case. Furthermore, the State is neither a creditor nor stockholder and has no pecuniary interest in the assoclation, It is neither alieged nor found that there has been any fraud or mismanagement on the part of the directors or officers or any want of competency on their part to liqui- date the indebtedness of the institution economically and in the interest of ijts creditors and stockholders; and that ft was not necessary to have appointed a celver. Ffiie order of the higher court was that the judgment of the lower court should be modified as to the receiver, but in other respects, as to straightening out the affairs of the association, the judgment should stand. This decision is of no small importance, as it establishes the law which must be applied to many similar cases. It plainly shows that unless mis- management, incompetency or fraud is shown on the part of officers and directors of building and loan associatlons the busi- ness of liquidating ought to be handled by those in charge and not by a receiver | annainted by the court.

BY HELEN CAMPBELL. “It men lived like men indeed, thelr houses | would he temples, which we should hardly dare injure and in which it woull make us holy to be permittad to live. * *°% I would have, | then, our crainary dwelling houses built to last, | and built to be lovely, as right and full of pleasantness as may be, Within and without. | and with such differences’ s might express each man’s character and occupation and part- 1y his history In our American life, with its perpetual grasp for something better than its past has known, each man may be said to build a house to escape from rather than to record his history. The mafjority pre- fer not to look backward, and the new house enshrines no memory of the early days of its owner, which may have been in dug-out or log cabin or in one of the uncompromisingly hideous little boxes that make the suburbs of many ecities. But Ruskin, whose words open this pa- per, is as usual right in his demand that the house of man shall be something it seldom occurs to us to make it—a temple wherein ordered and harmonious growth | may be a part of the dally life. The | house should be the best and utmost ex- | pression of the home spirit; the best adaptation of means to ends; the utmost convenience and comfort for all under its roof; the greatest ease in’ necessary work; the best space for individual as well as family life. How is this to be brought about? The plan 1s left to the general builder—the contractor, whose business it s to make as much show for the money spent as brain can contrive, and to skimp and curtall in whatever is out of sight. Cheap buiflding—houses “made to sell’—is the first consideration. Houses made to last and to improve with age have not yet entered our thought of construction. At this point we see, then, certain needs defining themselves, and we may well group them under their distinet heads. We are to consider a. The individual plan, b. Genera! sanitary aspects, c. Materials and their handling. 4. Construction and its ethics. In the limited space at command only suggestions under each head can be given, | but it is hoped that the reader will gain | from them some new thought as to the | real nature of building and what it may stand for in every human life. We have first to consider, then, The Individual Plan. It will at once be insisted that there can be no nced of this, in face of the fact that we have many books, large and small, all devoted to the plans for all sorts and conditions of men and thelr dwelling places. There are admirable ones to be mentioned, but this does not affect in the slightest the discovery made by all who buy a house that they would have built it quite differently at many points. It is but very recently that the architects' conference in one of our great cities brought from one prominent mem- ber a recommendation that they turn thefr attention to the architecture of farm houses, &nd a better future thereby awaits the farmer's wife and children, at present compelled to live in structures of a hideousness calculated to kill out the sense of beauty as thoroughly as we find it to be killed out in the mass of our people. This is one phase, and it applies to workmen'’s houses of all degrees. Another one and quite as important is that ac- cording to the different pursuits of the family should be the type of room of- fered them. A palr just beginning life together may take the average flat or small house. But presently, with chil- dren and their needs to consider, it is found that the nursery or the living room which must perhaps serve this purpose, has no sun and thus is made unfit for the growing child, whose birthright is sunshine, and the strength and healing it means for all. With the departure of the old-fashioned garret, one plavground for the child, an invaluable one, since it gave room for infinite “‘make-believe,” vanished also. Yet the child should have its own play spot sacred from interference, pref- erably as remote from the other rooms as possible, that its noise on rainy days may not interfere with others; a place for collections of all orders, for toys and books and the tools the child loves to use, and which are part of the training in use of hand and brain together, that pres- ently we are all to know is the first es- sential of education. All this is to be planned for, and it is often possible to modify or alter the formal plan of the architect and secure this space. But the least skilled draughts- man can take pencil and paper, think out the family needs as they have demon- strated themselves and see first how to make a rough plan, then how to make the available space tell to the utmost for family comfort. No matter how small the sum, it will be better to do without a formal parlor, we will say, have a living room ample and generous and put the money saved into deadened floors and the best finish. This matter of deadening floors is seldom thought about, yet for the most nervous people in Christendom it is an essential. We all know the houses where every sound is heard throughout, and no escape for tired mother, for ailing baby, for the invalid, if there be one, or the patient who wants only quiet and rest to come to strength speedily. In our sounding-board houses this form of cure is impossible, but it need not be. Plan, then, to these ends, and see if there is not an instant gain in the conception of the meaning of a house and what it is to stand for in the family life. General Sanitary Aspects. This heading means a volume. To un- derstand it fully there should be some very earnest- study. and the books best adapted to this end are named in the little bibliography accompanying this paper. The shortest, most compact and most prac- tical is a manual prepared under the di- rection of one of the ablest of American women, Mrs. Ellen H. Richards, professor of chemistry in the Boston Institute of Technology. ‘“Home Sanitation” Is its title, and it covers the ground for both city and country as to the situation of the house, its drainage and plumbing, its ven- tilation, heating and lighting, a set of questions at the end of each delightfully clear little chapter clinching all doubtful points. There are many elaborate man- uals, but this and one or two others cover all the ground and must be thoroughly learned. A dry and well drained soil, a house planned for as much sunshine as possible in every room and perfect drain- age are the requisites for even the sim- plest dwelling. In the city the size of the lot determines much. In the country it can always be re? abered that it is by RO means necess: to face the street and that turning the house door to the side may admit the sun to much better advantage. Storerooms are better on the north side for coolness, and the spare room, less used probably than any other, can much better dispense with the sun than those in constant use. A little thought over the general plan will settle many questions of this nature. Materials and Their Handling. This is a matter supposed usually to be quite beyond the comprehension of women. Yet every woman can in a short time learn the difference between good land bad mortar, between seasoned and un- Mrs. Helen Campbell. Mrs. Margaret T, Mrs. Louise E.

She can a good cellar and good foundation, and how a cellar floor should be made, with the virtue of cement and the value smooth cellar walls. These are all pha: of home tation, and honest materials honestly put together are an equal part of it. Crack- ing walls, settling and uneven floors, base- boards shrinking away and doors sagging are due either to lack of knowledge or of lack of honesty on the builder's part. Wo are a hasty people and klin-dry our wood, with no_thought of the consequence. And we are wedded to wood when all about is another material more beautiful, more durable and in many places less costly. Common “rubble,” the loose stone of the neighborhood, put together with good mortar and a course of brick here and there, over windows, doors, etc., as fin- ish, will make a house beautiful to look at, beloved of all climbing vines and pic- turesque under all conditions. Or there may be a story of rubble and brick and the upper portion finished in wood. But architects—the thinking —urge more and more the adoption of stone and brick and give models within even very narrow means Construction and Its Ethics. Practically this is in great part included in the heading “Materials.” But there is another point seldom thought of in the matter of flimsy or substantial structure, and that is the educational effect of hon- est workmanship, whether in house or its finish and furnishing. The day for gin- gerbread work in house finish, the cheap and most unbeautiful production of the jlgsaw, is fast passing. Sanitation is teaching us that smooth surfaces are not only more healthful, since they give no lodgment to bacteria, but are also more beautiful. Veneers, save where wood 1s of 50 costly an order that it must be so used or not at all, are also out of date. But we still_put cheap finish whenever we can, covéring half-mixed mortar in walls with gay papers and making all out of sight construction of the poorest quality of wood. - Our public buildings share often the same fate, because the sort of con- science that would not admit poor con- struction is not vet part of our teaching. These things are to be a necessity, when we are a little wiser, in all education, and when that good day comes even our poli- ticlans will have been so drilled in what constitutes honest building that we shall have a new order of homes and of public buildings. II-THE HOME ENVIRONMENT. Here again we have the possibilities of a volume In our title, but being held rig- idly to the limits of a column or two can only outline certain points that bear upon all homes, whether rich or poor, In city or country. Four phases present them= selves: a. A new thought about buflding. b. Possibilities of a back yard. c. Building for priva d. A new phase of factory work for the home, This question of the home environment is like all the rest that bear upon ways of living made easy or difficult by the depth of the purse. But for the rich or those of moderate purses there must be first of all some sense of beauty and fit- ness or the story of their lack will be plain to read in every line of the build- ing and its surroundings. The country home should seem to have grown natur- ally in the spot where we find it, even if set close among its neighbors. The city house is limited in expression by the narrow space upon which it stands, yet even this, as we shall presently see, is capable of different treatment, and is al- ready receiving it. But for every town and village that has come to the sense of beauty sufficiently to desire the best arrangement and planning a harmonious whole, it is still possible to reconstruct at least a part of the space occupied. The time is nearing when the smallest settlement will be subject to building laws laid down by competent authorities, and every house will be planned with re- lation to its effect to the whole. Now and from the beginning it has all been chance work, and the thought of a gen- eral unity of plan and effect absolutely unknown. Public buildings have been at the mercy of mere contractors, and each town has been a mere jumble of inco- herencies. A change in this respect means a change in the whole handling of every phase of building; the growth of the civic sense and of that sense of a common obligation to make the most and best of every opportunity for larger, hap- pler living. To this end a group of friends who purpose building could easily take counsel together, pool their resources, em- ploy a thinking architect and start in with a definite conception of what plan of planting and building would produce the best results. The very fact of hav- ing begun with this united purpose would ssion to the whole. done, a town, even with the best natural advantages, fails to show them to real advantage. The wealthler people are planted in the best places, and when it is presently dis- covered that parks and boulevards and free access to a lake or river, for in- stance, are required as public needs, every desirable foot of ground has already been appropriated and everybody wonders why nobody thought about it in the be- ginning. Some thought and plan, then, is what all must take with them who make a country home. Suppose, however, that one must live in a block. Even then we are by no means so helpless as we have believed. The great apartment houses have shown us how much comfort can be increased by the lessening of labor, a common heating apparatus and plumb- ing system doing away at once with some of the heaviest labor of the private home, the care of fire and all the dirt and trou- ble of coal and ashes. A well-known Brooklyn builder, Alfred White, who put up the first model tenement houses, has since built a block of small houses, the first one in this country, about an open court with fountains, trees and shrubs. No millionaire’s house has more perfect finish, and building an entire block at once the expense for each house was so reduced as to enable the landlord to rent them for less than the same sum charged for individual houses. On a small city lot there seems no chance for change. Not long ago one of our best and most progressive architects, Russell Sturgis, told us in a popular magazine how to build on a city lot so that there might be an actual front yard planted in such fashion, all given in detail, drawing by drawing, that the street seemed quite put away.

CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 20.—overnor Francisco Canton of the State of Yucatan has arrived here from New York wity, where he purchased a large amount of supplies to be used in the campaign now being waged against the Maya Indians in Yucatan. He and President Diaz have had several conferences regarding the Ino dian uprising and it is understood that Governor Canton will take personal charge of the campaign upon his return to Yucatan next week.
