The itching and burning I suffered in my feet and limbs for three years were terrible. At night they were worse and would keep me awake a greater part of the night. I consulted doctor after doctor, as I was travelling on the road most of my time, alzo one of our city doctors. None of the doc- tors knew what the trouble was. I got alot of the different samples of the medi- cines I had been using. I found them of 80 many different kinds that I con- cluded that I would have to go to a Cincinnati hospital before I would get relief. I had frequently been urged to try CuTicuRA REMEDIES, but I had no faithin them. My wife finally prevailed upon me to try them. DPresto! What achange! Iam now cured, and it isa permanent cure.

SUCCESSOR TO H. J. HAYDEN EaiTer WALL STREET BELIEVES THE ROAD IS STRENGTHENED. Lo L NEW YORK, Jan. 24—D, O. Mills has been elected a director of the New York Central Railroad to succeed H. J. Hay- den, resigned. In consideration of long nd valuable services, Mr. Hayden is to retained as vice-president, although the duties of that officer are now merely perfuncto: Speaking of the election of Mr. Mills as a director, President Callo- way said: “This is significant only as marking the Vanderbilt's polley to have the very best men in the New York Central board. ¥ D. O. Mills is one of the largest stock- jured in an elevator accident in the Hotel | holders in the Erie Railroad and a direc- tor in the Lake Shore. He has large financial interests with J. Pierpont Mor- gan and with the Rockefellers, and the railroad financiers of Wall street regard his entry into the New York Central as strengthening the Vanderbilt-Morgan- Rockefeller combinatson. Another matter of importance deter- mined by the New York Ceneral dircc- tors to-day was the taking over of all of the dining and lunch rooms along the lines of the system. Hereafter the pas- senger department of the New York Cen- tral will control and operate all of the | station dining rooms, as well as the din- ing cars. Senator Chauncey M. Depew attended the Vanderbilt meeting to-day, and as he was leaving the board room he was asked if there was any truth in the storles that the Chicago and Northwestern Railway Company was to lease the Union Pacific. ‘Without hesitation he replied: “There is not a word of truth in the stories. The Chicago and Northwestern will not lease the Union Pacific. President C. P. Huntington of the Southern Pacific Rallway Company sald to-day that Darius O. Mills had been a director of the company for two months and that it was likely that John W. Mackay would become a director soon. In what measure these new directors could be considered the direct or personal representatives of the interests which bought the Crocker or the Stanford stock he did not say. NON-UNION MEN ASK FOR POLICE PROTECTION OFFICERS ESCORT CLOAK-MAK- ERS FROM WORK. Strikers Accused of Threatening Bod- ily Harm to Men Who Refuse to Join Them in Securing Satisfaction. Davidson & Miller, manufacturing cloakmakers at 731 Market street, whose men are on a strike, appealed last night to the police for protection. Captain Spil- lane sent Officers Phil Fraher and Mec- Dowell to guard the premises. The members of the firm claim that the strikers are trying to intimidate their employes. Harry Secher of 543 Steven- fon street and Jacob Rosen of 116 Russ street, who are employed by Davidson & Miiler, were afraid to go to their homes last evening for fea; of being waylaid and Both men refused to “walk out” en the other employes did. Policemen Fraher and McDowell saw them both to their doors and will do so every night until the strike Is e; e ewe MISS STORI'S NEW STUNT. Actress Plays the Violin on the Street and Passes the Hat.

Mr. Hittell sald that the State had been very generous to her pioneers and had liberally rewarded their labors, as is evidenced by the large proportion who are, or who have been, rated as mullionaires. After the address the floor was cleared for the ball and for several hours the silver-headed pioneers had the satis- faction of proving that they are still as light of foot and gay of heart as the generation that call them father and grandfather. During the dreamy waltz the ploneers per- haps did not take the honors of the floor, but to the musicof the polka, the quadrille or the lancers, the men who sought gold dust with pick and shovel half a century ago were decidedly in their element, and but for the natural evidences that years leave they might be thought to be as young as when they watched dark-eyed senoritas dance the cachuca at old Monterey or Yerba Buena. Among the ploneers whose heads are white none entered more thoroughly into the spirit of the occasion than ex- Chief Lees, who appeared to have taken on new life since relieved of the task of catching crooks.

Sweeny, one of the frst settlers in what IS now known as Sunset Valley, after a lingering illness of several months. The deceased had been a gufferer from palsy for a number of years, and had not attended to business of any conse- quence of late. The collecting of his rents and the management of his affairs he entrusted to his brother-in-law, William E. Lane of 603 California street, to whom he was much devoted. Unlike the great majority of wealthy plo- neers, Mr. Sweeny did not wait until after his death to distribute his means to philanthropic purposes or the rcaring of monuments to his memory. He left one that will be a reminder of his generosity as long as Golden Gate Park exists. This monument is known as “Sweeny’s Observatory.” It is situated on the summit of Strawberry Hill, overlooking the broad Pacific Ocean, the hills of Marin County and the skirting southwest slopes of the peninsula ' which he lived and died an honored member of society. TIn addition to this monument, the forest of pine trees that stands on the lands of the late Adolph Sutro on the wcst slope of the Twin Peaks were planted by him years ago, and at a time when this place was regarded an outside settlement and too remote to be considered a portion of San Francisco. His gift of the observatory to the people of this city and coast cost him about $20,000. The deceased was In his seventy-first year. He first saw the light of day in ihe State of New York, which he left in 1851 on board of a sailing vessel destined for Chagres. Walking across the Isthmus of Panama, he sailed on a ship for San Franciscb, where he landed after forty-nine days on March 4, 1852, with but $15. After looking around San Francisco he went to Sacra- mento. On the night of his arrival the levee broke and the city was flooded. For six days young Sweeny lived on bread and cheese. He next went to the Diamond Springs mine, having by this time the sum of $150 in his pocket. Fifty cents went for a pick and the same amount for a pan, and the last 50 cents for something to eat. After a year he returned to San Francisco. Since the death of his wife ne resided at his home, 1401 Seventh avenue. Being without immediate heirs his estate, which is estimated at over $100,000, will bs dlvided between the relativee of his wife and some distant relatives In the East. © 00000 0600000060000 00000 000000000 THE PARK OBSERVATORY Hon.

Estee’s proposed lecture at Metropolitan Temple last evening on “Problems of Free Government—Trusts, 3 fit of the Lincoln Monument League was not delivered, the reason being the small- ness of the audience. But an entertain- ment varied in detall was promptly sub- stituted and thereby patriotism was stim- ulated. Mr. Estee spoke In a conversa- tional way, giving anecdotes of Lincoln and urging all those present to be mis- sionaries to Help the league to erect a Lincoln monument in this city. - Judge M.

Brief remarks were made by Lieutenant Governor Neff, Judge Cooney, Chief Justice Beatty, State School Super- intendent Kirk and General N. P. Chip- man as & prelude to the speech by Mr. e. Judge Cooney announced that tenant Governor Neff had when pass- the box office deposited $20 in aid ot which fact was halled with %Jl. n the Ccaus applause. | Nir Estee then told about Lincoln’s par- | don of the sentry who slept on his post in | the Wilderness and of the man who shout- ed “‘Loude when Mr. Lincoln was lec- turing, only to be told by that humonst | that he was not losing near as much as | he fancied if he did not hear.

What | was needed was to have it increased so | that a fine monument might be erected in memory of the great emancipator at the lower end of the park panhandle at Van Ness avenue when the park should be extended. There it might stand to re- mind the coming generations that this was the land of Lincoln and of Washing- ton; that this was the land of the free; that one stroke of the pen made free four million slaves.

After the address the audience sang “America,” being led by Cornetist Orr. Then there were cheers for the memory of Lincoln and brief remarks by Mrs. F. S.
