We look in amazement at the burdens some women carry upon their heads. Vet how light they are compared with the burdens some women carry upon their hearts. There are childless women whose hearts ache ceaselessly because of the childless bome. That burden of childlessness has been liftegf from the heart of many a woman by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Pavorite Prescription. Many of the obstacles to maternity are remov- eble. Such obstacles are entirely re- moved by "Favorite Prescription.” It contains no alcohol nor narcotic.

Eoulieas M’NAB GUILTY OF CONTEMPT REFUSED TO TELL OF PRE-ELEC- TIOw COMPACTS. e Lees Testified That the Lieutenant Was a Disgruntled Officer, In- capable of Properly Hand- ling the Department. & AT Fred L. Esola, who desires to be Chlet of Police of this city, learned a grest deal about himself last night during the inves- tigation of the charges filed against him with the Commissiorers. The second day’s session of the sensational hearing lasted | until midnight, with but halt the story told. The proceedings were punctuated with many exciting incidents. Gavin McNab was called upon to testify to the fa- mous meetings held between A. M. Lawrence, Mayor Phelan, F. L. Esola and himself, where it is alleged the bargain was made to elevate Esola to the position of Chief. He declined to answer the lawyer's question, denying the right of jurisdiction of the commis- sion. He was adjudged guilty of con- tempt, and Chairman Thomas sentenced him to imprisonment in his own office during business hours. This in a measure turned the investigation into a farce, but it assumed a more serious alir as the night progressed. Both Esola and Lawrence brazenly ad- mitted that the former had secured his position on_ the police force through the influence of Dan Burns, and that Law- rence had “worked” Burns for the job. The most damaging testimony against the ambitious lleutenant was given by ex- Chief Lees and was strengthened by Esola’s own demeanor on the witness- stand. Ben Chambers was recalled when the commission resumed the Investigation. He stated that the Examiner had attack- ed McComb immediately after Esola was discharged from his position as guard at San Quentin and continued its abuse un- til McComb resigned. His reason for keeping Esola in his position as long as he had was to keep Lawrence from at- | tacking the administration of the prison. | This was simply his opinion and was not | based upon anything that Lawrence had | said to him. “Do you know that Esola was retained at the prison through the influence of asked Commissioner New- shrsfrsrstrsesfrstestregs sheesbsfaspeodrsgaspeefa oo st e afrfa e sia ool | Lawrence?"” hall. “That was my opinion, for I could see no other reason for keeping him there,” was the reply. Ex-Police Commissioner William Al- vord testified that he had never heard of Esola having any detective or executive ability and that he is not the kind of man he would select for Chief. He repu- diated a statement in the Examiner to the effect that he indorsed Esola’s can- didacy. Then came Gavin McNab. The audience expected much from the well- known politician and it was not disap- | pointed. “I was introduced to Mr. Esola once,” | | he said. “I know Andrew M. Lawrence | and 1 have met Mayor Phelan. i | "He said that while he was a Democrat | he was not affillated with any of the party | organizations and explained his differ- ences with the Rainey-Lawrence branch of it. While the Democratic convention of | 1599 was in session he visited the Exam- | iner office with Mayor Phelan and met | | | Lawrence there. The questions were then asked if the Chief of Police matter was discussed; if Lawrence did not demand that Esola be appointed in the event of Phelan’s elec- tion; and if Lawrence had not sald that if such an agreement was not entered into Phelan could not expect the support of the Examiner. Mr. McNab declined to answer the questions, claiming that the Commissioners had no power to compel him to do so. Finally, when urged, he replied to the latter in the negative, but ositively refused to answer the others. | e was adjudged guilty of contempt, wita the result as stated. Many of Esola’s shortcomings were re- | lated by his ex-Chief, I. W. Lees, who | sald that he was a disgruntled officer, un- | willilng to work and had never becoms | proficient in any of his duties. He also sald that during his brief stay in China- town he had drawn the department intd endless trouble through his inexcusable blunders. As a witness called by his prosecutors, Esola was a decided success. He stated without a blush that he was the real | thing in police officers and claimed to be | everything that Chief Lees said he was | not. ~ After going through the story of his early life he reached the point where he had bloomed out as the messenger boy for Lawrence during the Hearst Senato- rial fight at Sacramento. From that he went on to tell how he became a guard | at San Quentin through Lawrence's influ- | ence. He denied that Chris Buckley had | anything to do with his appointment, and contended that he had resigned from his osition as a guard and that he had not Eeen discharged, as the record shows. He admitted that there is an entry on the prison books showing that he was dis- charged for violation of prison rules, but asserted that he did not know it was there until he read of it in the papers. Getting_down to the Meader affidavit, he said he knew both Mr. and Mrs. Meader before their marriage; that he was present at the ceremony, and that he gave his name to the Justice of the Peace as Fred Harrington. His reason for do- ing it, he said, was that it was a runaway match, and he did not want his folks to know that he was mixed up In it. He also | admitted that while he was working at Mayrisch’'s cigar factory, he was known by the name of Harrington. He explained this by saying that he was captured there by one of the girls, whose name was Josie arrington, that in a measure she claimed him as her particular property, and from that on he was known by the name of Harrington. “I was appointed on the police force November 4, 1892,"" he continued, ‘‘through the influence of Dan Burns. Andrew Law- rence had requested Mr. Burns to interest himself in my behalf.” Esola acknowledged having taken many trips to the springs and one to the East with Mr. Lawrence, and always drew full pay, unless the Commissioners objected, which they did but once. In an effort to show that Esola had no educational qualifications for the position of Chief, Attorney McGowan wanted him to write a simple composition on any sub- ject, but he was saved by the objections of the Commissioners, who agreed to look over his reports and form from them thelr conclusions as to the point raised. ‘A. M. Lawrence testified that he had sought Burns' assistance in getting Esola on the police force. Some unim- portant testimony was given by ex-Ldeu- tenant Wililam Price, Sergeant H. J. Wright, Harry N. Morsé and Notary Pub. lic Craig, and the commission adjourned to resume the investigation at 4 o'clock this afternoon. ESKRIDGE IN COMMAND.

Smith. In “The Idol's Eye” he i1s at his worst. The humor of the book, or what passes for humor, is of a type unworthy even of reprobation. There is not a thing that is sald in the entire plece | that can raise a legitimate laugh, and if Crockery the performance Is amusing It is due more he business than to the lines, more to the actors than to the author: ‘ Bargains.

Alf Wheelan is occasionally ludicrous as the Scot, but he overreaches his intent to be funny by the most extravagant ex- aggeration, and depends too much on the variety of disgusting noises he makes to win a laugh. The comic opportunities of the Scotch character are so great that it is a pity he should throw them away. The chlefclnlm of Don Pablo Tobasco (which | art is assumed by Willlam Schuster) to e considered comic s his which supply one of the most important | comedy elements of the opera, and there | you have a very fair idea of the kind of stuff Mr. Smith has to offer. There is much to commend in the stag- ing of the plece, and its costuming as well, and, finally, there Is one feature of the performance that has a value of its own and is worth all the rest of the show g‘u: together. This Is the singing of Miss rances Graham, a contralto of unusuval gifts, who makes her first appearance 'n this production.
