THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1900. ADVERTISEMENTS. Mother's StoryofBaby's Gure Of a Most Distressing Humor by the Cuticura Remedies. When our baby was a week old, eczema appeared on the top of her - head and spread alf over her scalp, face, and forehead, forming one mass of sores. You can realize how much she must have suffered, when she seratched at times ¢ill the blood ran intermingled with water. Our family doctor’s treatment proved ineffectual, as the disorder, instead of abating, developed more. ~We then stopped all medical treatment, and com- menced with Cvrictra Remepies. We used the Curicvra ResoLvest, Com- cura Ointment, and Cutictra Soar, all ~traces of the eczema disappeared, the skin and scalp were left perfectly clear and smooth, and she was entirely cured. Mgs. E. BUTLER, My oldest boy, age nine years, was troubled with sores on different parts of the body, especially on the leg, about twenty-four in all. They were about the size of & five-cent piece, and would fester very much and eject a pus. They were very painful. After my above experience with the cure of my little girl with COTICTRA REMED: I did not bother with the doctor in this case, but gave him the CUTICURA treatment which completely: cured him in four weeks.

Mrs. Annie Schereck, a young married woman living apart from her hushand, and Catherine Conley, a seamstress, oc- cupy a room at 938 Howard street, and Tuesday night they disturbed the other roomers ip the house by splitting wood in the kitchen with which to build the fire for supper. After supper Mrs. Schereck began to play an accompani- ment on the organ while Catherine sang “I'd Leave My Happy Home for You," and the noise was so terrific that the tandlord, Henry Breuer, telephoned to the Southern police station that there was a riot in his house. Policemen Flynn and Beach were de- tuiled to quell the disturbance, and when they got there all they heard werc the tones of the organ and Catherine’s long- drawn-out *for you-ou-ou.” Breuer in- sisted on the two young women being ar- rested for disturbing the peace, bul they locked their door and defied the officers. captured by The women were finally Judge Cabaniss’ court. Both expressed their ndignaticn at being arrested. Catherine sald she was taking lessons iu music and she saw no harm in -mgng in her room at 9 o'clock at night. reuer aid that his mother was sick and Cath- erine’'s singing would kill her unless she was compelled to leave the house. The Judge did not think that the charge would stand, but he advised the de- fendants to leave the house and he con- tinued the case for two days to enabic them to _do so. Catherine remonsirated, but the Judge told her that if Mrs. Breua: were not sick It was apparent her sing- fng would make her sick and if she was sick it would make her sicker, so she had better leave. —————— SCHOOL TEACHERS PROTEST. Those Placed in Unassigned List Say Action Is Unjust. The Board of Education is likely to ex- perience a great deal of trouble in its policy of abolishing some of the evening schools and putting the teachers thereot on the unassigned list without reference to senlority of service. Several of the teachers made individual appeals to the School Directors yesterday and it 1is thought that some action will be taken at the next meeting of the board to rec- llf’g what {s considered as an injustice. he last board adopted rules in this connection in which it was provided that the chronological order of employment should be observed. This was regarded as good law by Judge Seawell, who, in a decfsion, ‘held ‘that {t was not only just but legal, The board in abolishing the Lincoln, Washington and Horace Mann Evening schools placed elght teachers on the unassigned list, whereas if the rule had been followed they would have been either placed on the substitute list or as- signed to places in other schools.

It was somewhat different last night when a large number of visitors thronged street and alley. The “wlhite devils"” were burdened with packages of Chinese nuts, candy, preserves and every description of Celestial confec- tion. Merchants dressed in holiday silk and satin received thelr friends, dispensing the usual annual gift which makes th: children of the white folk sick at stomach and head. Every store was lighted and the lanterns of green and yellow coloring, the bizarre banners floating from the porches of the houses and the twanging of string instruments were procf enough that the annual festivities were on. The morning and afternoon seemed devoted to an airing of the native-born Chinese. In strings and bunches, the first, second and third born—some- times a fourth—paraded the streets to the great pleasure of the white vis- itors. Dressed In fanciful, gorgeous costumes, they were allowed to visit their friends and taste of their hos- pitality. All sizes and conditions of “infant productions’” were out, sup- plying a substitute in the way of noise for the enjoined firecrackers.

Last night Police -Officers Butler and Murphy made a report to Police Sergeant Anderson at' the California street station which may cause an investigation to be made into a ghastly practice now exist- ing in Chinatown. While the subject mat. ter of .their report has often been dis- cussed, yet no officfal action has ever been taken, and the report made by the two patrolmen last night will bring the de- tails for the first time under the scrutiny of the police. It has been a practice among Chinese to prevent the death of any person in their dwelling houses, and to avold this the Chlnese undertaker's places are pro- vided with apartments into which ‘sick heathens are cast to breathe their last. As soon as a Chinaman becomes serfous- ly Il he is fmmediately placed in one of the undertaker's bunks. He Is given no further attention gnd the cover of a wooden coffin is sodn nailed upon him. Early yesterday morning Policemen Butler and Murphy saw a coug carrying a sick Chinese in a chair to the undertaker shop of the Man Fook Coffin Campanr on Clay street above Dupont. They followed ‘them and upon entering the place found the subject for a coffin sitting and conversing with his companions. The officers returned last evening and dis- covered that the man was dead. Inquiry was made into the case and it was found that the sick Chinaman had been given a cup of some liquid, after which he gave no more trouble to the undertakers ex- ceft when they lald him In a box. he sight of a Chinese yack!n‘ a sick countryman on his back to the door of an undertdking -hog‘ is frequent during the early morning hours. 08t of the unfortunates die soon afterward as they are given no attention and the suspicion exists that they are often murdered that they may be disposed of quickly. For the purpose of ascertalning the treatment ac- corded the dying Chinese the police offi- cers have flled a report and some sensa- :lonal{ developments are likely to be the esult. MAHONY’S RESIGNATION. ' Mayor Produces the Letter From the Commissioner of Public Works. The publication in yesterday’'s Call of the story that Commissioner Jeremiah Mahony had placed his resignation from the Board of Public Works in the hands of the Mayor was confirmed yesterday afternoon by the Mayor, who realized that further concealment was useless. In his letter reslfnlng the office, Mr. Mahony says that in 8o doing he s not unappre- clative of the honor conferred on l?lrn. He gives as a reason that the demands of his private business will not permit him to perform the officlal duties, and he 18 convinced that it would require the undivided time of any person to do so. The resignation wiil take effect to-day, but the Mayor has not as yet named Ma- hony's successor. Dr. Parker's Cough Cure. One dose will stop & cough. Never fails. Try it.
