OME MONTHS AGO OUR BABY’'S HEAD GOT SORE. We took him to the doctor, who pronounced it poison and gave us some medicine which did no good. His head got so bad be would cry all night, and my wife could sleep none, and began to look ghostly. His head got #o sore that we put a night cap on him, and folded a white cloth four thicknesses inside of it, and just throngh the night a kind of matter would ooze out from his head, soaked through the cloth and cap and on to the pillow. The top and back of his head was almost a solid sore, and looked so badly that words would not describe it. Almost in despair I told my wife I had seen CuTiCURA REMEDIES advertised and recommended very highly and I was going to try them. I bought the CuTictRA RESOLVENT, CUTICURA Boar,and CuTicura Ointment. We gave him half of the Resolvent, used part of the cake of Soap, and before we had used the second box of CuTiCURA Ointment he commenced to get better, and is now as well and hearty as anybody’s boy. He is as merry as a lark, sleeps soundly all night, and his hair looks glossy, thick, and soft. whilemy wife looks likea different woman, 1 look at him and think I owe it to you and to suffering mankind to write and tell you of this almost wonderful cyre.

There was a rush to load them that kept everybody on the jump, while the boss stevedores were in a| fever of excitement for fear the rain | would come down and stop the work. The | owners of the wheat were also on the | tenter hooks, as a shower meant the loss | of several hundred dollars to them. The State authorities were also Interested, | but they took the matter very philosophi- | cally, as the money was not to come out of thelr pockets. At midnight of March 4 every merchant in the State has to make a sworn state- | ment of the merchandise he has on hand and on which he is llable for duty. On, wheat the export rate is about 25 cents | per ton, and it was to save this tax that | the grain merchants were so anxious to get the stuff afloat, as once in the hold of | & foreign-bound vessel it is not ltable to be taxed. Within the past forty-elght hours the French bark Marie, the British bark Me- | rioneth and the British ship Cleomene | have safled, while in the stream loaded | lie the Peleus, Lyderhorn, Pass of Killia- crankie, Kelburn, Cromdale and Celtic | Monarch. These \essels carry from 25,000 ( | to 30,000 tons of wheat, the duty on which | | would be between $5000 and $6000 were it | | only ashore instead of afloat. | "It was up around Port Costa that the | | rush was greatest, however, and it is safe | to say that not a stevedore or longshore- | man in that neighborhood saw the inside of a church yesterday. At McNear's there was the Caithness-shire, Canrobert, Paul Isenberg and Samoena. At oir's there was the Combermere, Gen- | eral Gordon and Godiva. At Eppinger's | was the Clan Graham, and at_the Nevada | | dock was the Heathfield. If all these | vessels were loaded last night they took | aboard between 25,000 and 30,000 tons, and ‘anmhur 35000 or $6000 was saved to the i TSSO T T TSI T T T O T T AT T A D O @ owners and lost to the Government. The | entire fleet will probably get away during | the week and there will then be fewer | British and foreign ships In the bay than | there have been in years. In fact, all the ifor('iguvrs left in port will be the Bala- gore, Calthness-shire, General Roberts, Lynton and Reliance. These vessels are all under charter and will be loaded with wheat just as soon as their inward cargo | has been discharged. il R SWARMS OF DEPUTIES. Eighty of Them Will Start Out From the Assessor’s Office To-Day. This morning eighty deputies will start out from Assessor Dodge's office to see what assessable property the people will admit having in their possession. It will { not be left to the people altogether, how- ever, for there will be a number of depu- ties whose business it will be to look | around for movable property, such as | grain in the warehouses and cars upon the Southern Pacific tracks. It does not take | lonig to roil a train of cars out of the i | { f ‘ county, and the Assessor means to see | that th re tallied as completely as pos- sible before they start away. Everything a man owns at 12 o'clock to- day he may be taxed for unless the law makes an exception. United States bonds are not taxed and they will go up a point, | for much money will be invested in them | before 12 to-day. Then the purchasers | will swear they hold only untaxable | bonds and that they did not purchase the bords to avoid taxation; and then when the sment has been made against them yiey will sell the bonds again. De- posity/ in the United States Sub-Treasury will take 2 sudden jump, for these de- are not taxablé, and then after the e sworn the money was not th the Sub-Treasury for the purpose of avolding taxation they will go nd draw it out again. The banks have already made their statements to the Bank Commission, and upon these state- ments their assessments will be largely based. Their statements to the commis- sion were made last Saturday, and it is to their interest to make as large a showing as possible before their inspectors; there- | fore their statement to the Assessor will be about right. It is the private individ- ual, however, that the Assessor will have the hardest time to- reach. Men with three or four hundred thousand dollars out on notes will' not have to pay a cent | of taxation upon their loans, because they cannot be located, and miliions of dollars in stocks and taxable bunds will be over- looked for the same reason. The personal property tax is the bane of every civil financial system. It is well known that in cities the personal property is fully if not more than equal to the real rty, yet the percentage of collection s seldom more than 12 per cent as com- sared with the realty tax. In this city he percentage, it is said, amounts to 29 P t per cent, making San Francisco the sece | ond in the collection record in this coun- Deputies have been out for ten days or | more delivering blanks to be filled in by property owners. This has been done for the dual purpose of making it more cer- tain that the property is properly listed and also to hurry the making of the re- turns. Under the charter the tax levy will_have to be fixed by the last Monday in June, or before the fiscal year opens, instead of in September, as formerly. SUSPECTED ROBBER ASSAULTS A LAWYER Henry Hamilton, who is employed in the law office of Rodgers, Paterson and Slack, was assaulted by an unknown man In front of the Hotel Langham, at Ellis and Mason streets, at an early hour yesterday morning and badly beaten with brass knuckles. Hamilton was visiting Pete Dorcey’s saloon on Mason street, near Eddy, when he noticed an old man in the | place much the worse for liquor. The | stranger had considerable money with | him and suspecting that a hard-looking character who was standing alongside of the man intended to rob him, Hamilton volunteered to accompany him to the car. After taking hold of the old man's arm Hamilton led him along Powell street to Ellis. Suddenly turning around the young lawyer noticed the evil-looking stranger whom he had seen in the saloon following them. On observing that he was discov- ered the man rushed up to Hamilton and struck him with brass knuckles. Hamil- ton was rendered insensible by the blow, and when he came to some time after- ward the stranger and the old man | were gone. Convinced that his assallant was bent on robbing the old man Hamil- ton hurried to police hea,m‘uanera and in- formed Lieutenant Birdsall of what had happened. Two police officers were at once sent to the scene of the assault, but after searching various saloons and lodg- ing houses in the immediate vicinity they were unable tc obtain a trace of the old ‘| man or the suspected robber. Hamilton describes his assallant as be- ing of a rather swarthy complexion and was {')oorly dressed. Detectives Crockett and Dillon, who were detailed on the case by Captain Bohen, yesterday afternoon learned that the man who assaulted Ham- {iton was a member of the California Vel- unteers. Since his return from Manila he ELEGRAPH HILL will probably have to answer for another fatality. A rotten fence gave way early yes- terday and a man somewhat under the influence of liquor was hurled down the slope to the street seventy feet below. When picked up the unfortunate fellow was unconscious, and the people who gathered around him thought he was dead. Some wanted to send him to the Morgue, but it was finaily decided to send HEHBINDERS BESUME IORK N CHINTON Jue Hok Fatally Shot in a Shop on Washington Street. ———me Another attempted murder causedexcite- ment in Chinatown late last night.

S————— REV. B. FAY MILLS ‘ON TYRANNY OF ‘THE DEAD Metropolitan Temple was packed to the doors yesterday afternoon when the Rev. B. Fay Mills began his lecture on “The Tyranny of the Dead.”” Rev. Mr. Mills said in part: “The dead exert an influence over the living that is immeasurable in its results and evil in its consequences. I mean the theorles of wrong and injustice that have outlived their usefulness. It is in prac- tice, too, that many obsolete customs and activitles still show their influence.

Dr. Allen Griffiths lectured last evening at the Academy of Sclences Hall, under the auspices of the Universal Brother- hood. His subject was ‘‘Reincarnation.” He argued that ‘“the thinker—the soul in many—was not a first creation on the birth of the body it occuples, but is eter- nal, not only as to the future but as to the past.” —_—— Ladles’ vesting top shoes worth $3 50 for $150 a pair at the sale of shoes, 717 Mar- ket street.

The ambu- lance was called and by the time it ar- rived the man was groanring, but had not recovered consciousness. ‘When the injured man reached the hos- pital Dr. Bacigalupl made an examina- tion and found that in sliding down the hill the man had been lacerated in many places. He struck on the point of his chin when he reached the street, and in consequence his lower jaw was dislo- cated, the end of his. tongue was almost cut off, there were two long lacerations of the scalp and a possible fracture of the skull and a rupture of the drum of the ear, After the wounds had been dressed the dislocation reduced and the broken jaw set the man recovered consciousness, and in answer to questions said his name was Bartlett S. Morrisey, and that he resided at 1313 Scott street. He had not the faint- est idea as to how the accident happened. He remembered something cracking and then he went sailing through space. After that was oblivion. As there was no means of taking care of him at the Harbor Hos- pital Dr. Bacigalupi sent Morrisey out to the City and County Hospital, where he will be well looked after.

Instead there was a marked ab- sence of mirth and good fellowship, due no doubt to the failure of certaln mem- bers of the Police Department, who for- merly were wont to bask in the smiles of the old Chief, to lend their presence to the occasion. ‘With the exception of a few retired of- ficers and Captains Spillane, Seymour and Norman and several policemen, the de- partment was not represented at the gath- ering. Considerable adverse criticism was heard yesterday about the failure of Cap- tains Wittman and Bohen and other offi- cers, who fairly adulated Lees when he was at the head of the depaftment, to attend the presentation of the testimonial. Bohen offers the excuse that he was not feeling well and was forced to go home. ‘Wittman arrogantly refuses to discuss his absence from the “‘joyous™ occasion, ex- cept to intimate that lnasmuch as the Police Commissioners refused to lend their consent to the presentation, he thought it was his duty to remain away. - The proposition to give Lees a testimo- nial was first advanced by ex-Sergeant Bethel, who was retired at the same time that the old Chief’s' name was placed on the pension list. A committee, consisting principally of retired officers, was then ap- pointed to select a suitable design. As the result, a magnificent testimonial to the worth and estezem of the man who had served the city for over forty-eight years in the capacity of patrolman, detective, Captain of Detectives and afterward Chict of Police was arranged, at a cost of $3a). Tt-was expected that the members of the department would contribute the amount, but in this the committee reckoned with- out its host. The Police Commissioncrs ‘were appealed to, but they positively re- fused to command the men to “pungle up.” Disgusted with the order of events, the committee, in desperation, decided not to make the presentation in the assembly room of the Central Station, as was first intended, but at the home of former Chief s. e Invitations were sent to every man in the department who was on friendly terms with Eeefl‘ and in view of a large crowd being present elaborate arrangements ‘were made to receive them. At the hour fixed for the presentation only a very few of the old associates of the ex-Chief were present. After com- menting on_their absence the committee finally decided to proceed with the pre- sentation, Joe Dunn, the attorney, in a speech filled with kind words for the man ‘who guided the helm of the Police De- partment for so many years presented him with the magnificent tribute to his worth. Lees replied in a happy vein, thanking those present for their kind remembrance of him and wishipg them success under the present head of the department. ‘Bumpers of wine were then drunk to the health and prosperity the old Chief, after which the little cofwd dispersed. In speaking of the affair one of the com- mittee, commenting on the absence of the old assoclates of Lees, said: “It is a shame and an outrage that so many of the old members of the force wha to-day would not be drawing lucra- tive salaries if it had not been for Lees, refused to lend their presence to an oc- casfon that otherwise would have filled the old man’s heart with gladness.” 1t is understood that the committee that had charge of the affair will pay. the ex- pense of preparing the testimonial. e Dr. Parker's Cough Cure.
