THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1900 WARNER'S REMEDIES, Opportunity =1d. e "] J H seldom knocks twice at anybody’s door. If not seized and made the most of, conditions generally go from bad to worse. Lost opportunity is bad enough when financial results only are involved, but it is infinitely more so when one’s health is in t he balance. There comes a time when one who is suifer- ing from Bright's disease of the kidneys cannot be helped. His kidneys are destroyed and no medicine or man can replace them. But there was a time, a opportunity given to stop its ravages. Kidney disease manifests itself by backache, unusual desire to urinate, tired feelings, discolored water showing sediment breath, loss of memc ory, and many other symptoms. on standing, headache, dyspepsia, bad taste in the mouth, short A person may have one or more of the above indications of kidney trouble or others, such as failure of eyesight, rheumatism, chills and fever, constipation, neuralgia, etc. The foregoing are but symptoms of the real trouble—diseased kidneys. When any of the preceding warnings are given, of kidney disease, just then is the time, the opportunity, to resort to Warner's Safe Cure, a vegetable prepara- tion, which has stood the test of twenty years in all parts of the world and cured more people of kidney, liver and urinary diseases than any preparation ever manufactured. This great remedy can be procured of your druggist. Accept no substi- tute. It has been proved in thousands of cases that there is nothing “just as good.” 0000000000000000C000000000000000000C : =+ RAILROAD NEWS = § 00000C00000000000000000000000000000 FRESH VICTIMS | HUNTINETON 15 CLAIMED BY THE | READY TO SWING DEADLY ENGINE, ~ HIS LITTLE AX One Killed, the Other| General Decapitation a Cripple.

Sl Up In the Southern Pacific bullding at Market and Montgomery streets they are all trembling with the fear of the ax. That well-edged weapon which Mr. Hunt- ington has swung with such effect in years past is ready for another descent, and the favorites of the Crockers and the Stanfords are marked for the slaughter. If the reports which these last few davs have leaked out from the “front offices” prove true, a bigger bunch of decapita- tions has been programmed than ever be- fore in the company’'s history. Report has it that scarcely an employe heretofore mfaintained in his position by the retired interests will be kept. Hunt. ington has decided to throw out every member of the anvil chorus which for years has Kkept up a lusty knocking at him, his adherents and his interests. The day of the faithful has dawned; the va- cancies left by the unfaithful are to be ENGINEER TO BE ARRESTED ol T THOMAS PATTON LITERALLY BROKEN TO PIECES. S The Southern Pacific added two more victims to its crimson list yesterday fore- noon. The first was Thomas Patton, aged 73 years, a shoemalker, residing at 12 Sa- dowa street, Ocean View. The old man was in the act of crossing the railroad track at Ocean View when the ¢ o'clock southbound train hove in sight. Whether he utterly lost his head and stood still or made an attempt to save himself is not certain, but at all events he was struck by the engine and knocked down. KEn- gineer J. J. Rockwell and Conductor G. S. Smith were in charge of train at the time and not thinking that Patton’s in- jurfes were serfous went on their way. The injured man was conveyed to the City and County Hospital, where Dr. Me- Coy made an examination and found a bad fracture of the right arm and a se- vere lacerated wound in the side of the head. Patton’s injuries were dressed and everything done for his comfort, but he passed away at § o'clock last night. The second victim was a messenger boy AMUSEMENTS. TIVOLI GPERA- HOUSE. “HOOT MON.

Bernard, who is but 18 years of age, was stealing a ride on the brake- beam of the train to Tanforan racetrack, and attempted to get from beneath the car when the train slowed down at Bos- worth-street crossing.

It was at that time that the general manager discharged six men from every section on the system and precipitated a chapter of the most disastrous and expensive accidents in the history of the road. He also permitted the roadbed to get in such unsound con- dition that a ride on a lumber wagon was a luxury compared with six hours in the best appointed Pullman on the line, and the kicks that went up from the travel- ing public finally found their way to head- quarters, with the result that more ques- tions were asked.

They DESK STUDIES FOR GIRLS: MONEY AFFAIRS, Copyright, 1900, by Seymour Eaton. V. PERSONAL ACCOUNTS AND, MONEY AFFAIRS. (Concluded:) Something More About Checks. If you wish to draw money from yvour own account the most approved form of check is written “Pay to the order of| cash.” This differs from a check drawn “Pay to the order of bearer.” The paying | teller expects you yourself or some one well known to him as your representative | when you write “Qash.” If you write | “Pay to the order of (your own name)” | you will be required to indorse your own check before you can get it cashed, The check 1s simply a written demand upon the bank for some of your own money, and when you write “Pay to the order of cash” it is simply a formal request ior some of your own cash. If, however, you are giving the check to a tradesman in payment of a bill you should, of course, write his name instead of the word “‘cash.” You are asking the bank to pay him the money as he (the tradesman) may “order’ it paild. 1f you wish to stop the payment of a check which you have issued you should notify the bank at once, giving full par- ticulars of the check. You might, for in- stance, give your check in payment of a | bill which you afterward find out to be wrong or fraudulent. It is better for all parties concerned, including the bank. if you exercise proper caution in lssuing checks. If you have received a check from some one in payment of a bill and you deposit | it and it is returned through your bank | marked “No funds,” it signifies that the person whose signature is attached to the | check has no funds in the bank upon which the check is drawn. Your bank will charge the amount to your account. The best thing to do in such a case is to | hold the check as evidence of the debt | and write to the person from whom you received the check, stating the facts and asking for the cash in some other form. Banks have a custom, after paying and charging checks, of canceling them by | punching or by making some cut through their face. These canceled checks are reo- turned to the makers at the end of each month. | Checks Should Be Numbered. Checks should be numbered, so :hat each can be accounted for. The numbers are for your convenience, and not for the convenience of the bank. It is Important that your check book be correctly kept, | 50 that you can tell at any time how much | money ¥ou have in the bank. At the end of each month your small bank boog should be left at the bank, so that the bookkeeper may balance it. It may hap- pen that your bank book will show a larger halance than your check book. You will understand by this, if both have been correctly Kept, that there are checks out- standing which have not yet been rre- sented at your bank for payment. You can find out which these are by checking over the paild checks that have been re- turned to you with your bank book. The unpaid checks may be presented at any | time, so that your actual balance Is that shown by your ¢heck book, Checks should be presented for payment as soon after date as possible. Certified Checks. 1f you wish to use your check to pay a note due at some other bank, or in buyng | real estate or stocks or bonds, you may find it_necessary to get the check certi- | fled. This is done by an officer of ‘he bank, who writes or stamps across th ‘ face of the check the words “Certified or “Good when properly indorsed,” and | signs his name. The amount will imme- | diately be deducted from your m‘count.i |'the person and the bank, by guaranteeing your check, becomes’ responsible for its pay- ment.' Banks will usually certify any check drawn upon them if the depositor has the amount called for to his credit. It you should*get a check certified and then not use it, deposit it in your bank, otherwise your account will be short tha amount for which it is drawn. In Canada all checks are presented to the ‘“ledger keeper” for certification before being pre- sented to the paying teller. Bank Drafts. Your bank check is really your sight draft on your bank. Of course it differs from an ‘ordinary commercfal draft not only in its wording but in its purpose. A check Is used for paying money to a cred- itor, while a draft Is used as a means of collecting money from a debtor. The bank is obliged to pay your check if it has funds of vours sufficient to meet it, while whom - your draft is drawn may or may not honer it at his leasure. Banks keep money on deposit n cre or more other banks located In some of the commercial centers. Nearly all large banks keep money on deposit with one or more of the New York City banks. They call these banks their New York “correspondents.” bank draft is simply the bBank's check, drawing on its deposit with some other bank. Banks sell these checks to thelr customers. Mer- chants make large use of theSe drafts, or Bier's checks, as they are sometimes called, in makirng remittances from one part of the country to another. A draft en a foreign bank is commonly called a “bill of exchange.” % Hints for Depositors. Do not walt until you get to the bank upon to count your money, or tc indorse your checks and arrange your deposits. This should be done before ycu come to the bank, or, at least, before you present yourself at the receiving teller's window. e sure that you have the figures correct. Place the bills all one way, right side up. Separate your gold and silver and sort the silver by denominations. Do not de- posit your dimes, nickels and pennies un- til you have a certain amount of them, say % of each; then put them in a pack- age, with the amount and your hame marked on it. Power of Attorney. To give some one else the power to sign or indorse checks. notes or other impor- tant papers is called giving such an one “power of attorney’ —that is, the power or authority te be vour atterney. Such authority when given should be in writ- ng and have a Wi explicitly what the to do. he Postoffice a printed blank for u to transfer to oth: 1 money orders. Powers of this sort should be filed with the postoffice, or with the bank interested, or shculd be made mat- ters of public record at the office of the register of deeds. Safe Deposit Vaults. Many of the banks, trust companies and insurance companies make a special fea- ture of renting small safe deposit boxes or drawers in thelr vaults to any and every person who chooses to pay the rent asked. which depends largely on the amount of space needed, and is usually 310 for the smallest sized box. It is very convenient for one who has not a safe of his own to have a secure place in which to keep valuable papers. In many of the larger eafe deposit vaults there are desks and stationery for customers so that one may at any time and very conveniently and privately examine one's papers and make entries or indorsements, or add new vouchers, or make changes, as tha occasion may require.

Through D draw DC par- allel to AB, and through B draw BC parallel to AD. ABCD is the rectangle required. 3. Construct a rectangle, given a dlag- onal and a side. Make a right-angled triangle ABC, having AC equal to the given diagonal, AB equal to the given side and angle ABC a right angle. Through A draw AD parallel to BC, and through C draw CD parallel to AB. ABCD fis the rectangle required. 4 Construct a rhombus given the side and one of the angles. Construct as if for an isosceles triangle ABC, having the angle B equal to the given angle, and BA, BC each equal to the given side. Through A draw AD parallel to AB. ABCD is the required rhombus. 5. Construct a kite, given the direct diagonal and the sides. P R Let AB be the straight line and P the flven point. At P draw QPR perpendicu- ar to AB. Take any point, g, in QPR. | Then the circle with cénter 8 and radius SP will touch AR at P. 7. Draw a circle of given radius r. to touch two f’ven straight lines which are not parallel. Let AB, AC be the two lines. Draw the bisectors of the angles between them. Since the radius is given the center must lie on a line parallel to AC at a distance, , from it. Two such lines, LL’ and MM’. can be drawn. Draw them. The four points where LL’ and MM’ meet the bi- sectors will be the centers of circles satis- fying the conditions. 8.
