CRAB FISHERMAN DROWNED BEFORE HIS WIFE'S EYES e e Knocked Overboard by the Boom and Sank Before Help Came. e Auxiliary Cruise Badger Turned Over to Army Transjort Ser- vice—Movements of Quar- antined Vessels. Pl The circumstances surrounding the drowning of an Italian fisherman yester- day morning were tragic in the extreme. The unfortunate fellow was engaged in “‘crabbing” off the end of the sea wall and his wife and child watched their bread- winner at work with his nets from section 1 of the sea wall. Just as the flsherman cast a net into the water a squall struck the boat, the sail filled and, throwing the boom over, it caught the man in the small of the back and knocked him overboard. The gust of wind carried the boat away quite a distance, and when the fisherman came to the surface he seemed unable to do anything save keep afloat and yell for help. The distracted wife lald her child down among the grain sacks and, arous- ing the people on the schooner Josie, got them to go to the drowning man’s sistance. A small boat was quickly ned and a gasoline crabboat that was coming in also started to the rescue. Just as they were preparing to grasp the un- fortunate fellow he threw up his arms and went down like a stone. walted around for half an_ hour, but he did not come up again. His then taken to ermen’s wharf, while the wife was attended to by some standers who took her and the child her home on Union street. The fisherman's cardo and his boat was called the Con- cordla. He had been crab fishing along the sea wall and around Black Point for vears and never met with an accident before. Yesterday instead of using the oars he was sailing from net to net and in an unguarded moment the accident happened. 'FROM SEA AND SHORE ‘WO mor vessels were added to the uarantined fleet yesterda; They vere the schooner Helen N. Kimball, days from Haua, and the bark Ed- 19 days from Makaweli. The Moana was released yesterday afternoon and docked at Pacific street. The Doric’s passengers came over yesterday morning | and the chances are the vessel will be | released to-day, while the transport Sher- | idan will b released to-morrow. The | agents for the Doric are very anxious to | have the vessel released, as she has [ gn board thirts-five boxes of sold valued | [ | { to at over $1,000,000. Shipyards Are Busy. Another fine four-masted schooner for the Philippine t will be launched from Hay & Wright's yards at Alameda next Saturd This mak the third, and as soon as she is afloat the keel of a fourth will be laid. The first s the Philippine, is now on her | trom Manila; the E Ped | the third, Luzon, will go_to Manila as | soon as she is equipped. The one yet to | be built h been named, but she will | probably be called Mindora and will take | 1,000,000 feet of lumber to the Philippines | for Uncle Sam. Hay & Wright are also building substantial deckhouses on the Al: Packers’ Association’s amer Wigw ¢ also putting_deckhouses on the Francis Cutting for Hume Bross putting s deck on the Dora for the Alaska Co mercial Company, while they have the steamer Celia on the marine ways giving her a thorough overhauling.

Donohue has been thoroughly over d and made into one of the handsomes bay. Over $10,000 has been e: putiing in new and installing an electric light plant, while the hull machinery have been thoroughly hauled. When the Donohue is ready for service she will take the place of the Tiburon for a week while that vessel is being overhauled. After that the Dono- hue will be used as an excursion boat. The tugs Fearless and Alert brought the Badger down from Mare Island yesterday afternoon. She has been transferred from the navy to the army transport service and will carry soldiers and supplies to Nome for a few months. After that the chances are t she will be turned into a hospital ship, replacing the Missouri, which will be turned into a freight boat. The steamer China sailed for the Orient vesterday with a large cargo and quite a number of passenge ended in over- Rearranging Police Districts. The Federation of Mission Improvement Clubs has been for some time urging the advisability of rearranging the bounda- | ries of the various police districts and President A. 8. Lillie has addressed a communication on the subject to the Board of Police Commissioners, in which he states that such action would prove a benefit to the department and afford bet- ter protection to the citizens. He urges that the police stations should be placed as near as possible in the center of their respective districts, as at present they are as a rule not conveniently located. ADVERTISEMENTS. THE FEAR OF HUMBUG. Prevents Many People From Trying a Good Medicine. Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases so obstinate to cure that peo- ple are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to be a radical, perma- nent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being humbugged, es- pecially in medicines. Tnis fear of being humbugged can be carrled too far; so far, in fact, that many people suffer for years with weak diges- tion rather than risk a little time and money in faithfully testing the claims made of a preparation so reliable and uni- versally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- lets. Now Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different In one important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines for the reason that they are not ajsecret pat- ent medicine. No secret is made of their ingredients, but analysis shows them to contain the natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nux. They are not cathartic, neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they cure indigestion on the common sense plan of digesting the food eaten thor- oughly before it has time to ferment, sour and cause the mischief. This is the only secret of thelr success. Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach troubles be- cause they act entirely on the bowels, whereas the whole trouble is really in the stomach. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food. That is all there is to it. Food not digested or half digested s gollon. as it creates gas, acidity, acl 3 ead- es, pitation of e heart, loss of flesh and appetite and many other troubles which are often called Yy some other The boats | name was Jack Ma- | EAL. ESTAT HERE has been comparatively lit- tle doing in real estate circles dur- ing the past week, although the general tone of the market 1s healthy and entirely satisfactory to brokers and owners of property. The de- mand for good investment properties con- tinues brisk, but holders have as a rule fixed prices rather above what prospective purchasers are willing to pay. Differences ! R ent condition of the market Thomas Ma- gee & Son's Real Estate Circular in its issue of April 1 says: ‘‘Business property, and business prop- erty only, is in demand. Retail property Is preferred, although there is inquiry also for wholesale property. Buyers for this | latter class of property want it below | Market street. Retail property which is not now but will within ten years be in- cluded in_ the retall circle of city trade can now be sold at fair prices. There is also a special demand on the part of.a few warehouse and factory people lor‘ land which they wish to improve by Brannan and Townsend streets facing on | or near the rallroad tracks. Houses and | i lots of the value of $4000 to $6000 are in fair | demand. No dwelling land anywhere but on the best portion of Pacific Heights is | increasing in value. No third or fourth | class business property is increasing in price, though it is renting better than it did two or three years ago. Rents gen- | erally: are better than they were then; and they would need to be; there were more. vacancies then perhaps than at al- most any other dull spell in the history of the city. The total number of sales in | March was 319, of the aggregate value of $1,031,992."" On the same subject thes Buyer and Seller, published by Baldwin & Howell, has the following: No material change has taken place in | the real estate market during the past thirty days. A good demand still exists | for first class retail business property and | for the best residence sites. Investors have not been frightened by the bubonic | scarecrow because they realized that it is mixture of indiscretion, politics and per- sonalities. Property owners know to err is human, but they are not so saturated with forgiveness that they will forever pardon the mistakes of officials or ignore | the assaults upon the city by home or for- eign journals.

While it is true, as already | stated, real estate values may not have been immediately affected by the bubonic controversy commerce has received a stunning blow which has wrought an in- jury that may be more far reaching than We realize at present.”” i Concerning the condition of the local money market Magee’s Circular says: ‘“Money remains at 6 per cent, the banks paying the mortgage tax, with little de- | mand. The total number of city real es- tate mortgages recorded in March was | 400, of the value of $1,330,749. There were | 323 mortgages released, amounting in all | to $1,091,037. The price of money tends downward. During the past month 151 mortgages were taken by private persons, amounting to $336,224; they released $457,- 292, The Hibernia Bank lent $398375 and released $281,085. The German Bank lent | $216,350 and released $163.660. The Savings Union lent $53,550 in March and releasedi $67,050.

This purchase they have finally made by the acquisition of the old rolling mills’ site at the Potrero, at a reported price of $550,000. Those mills began clos- | ing out their business about two years ago. There are thirty-two acres of land in the Risdon purchase, and a deep water front of over 1500 feet. The Union Iron Works will now have a competitor in the building of vessels here, and thus prices will be lowered. A very large addition to the hands employed by the Risdon Works will now result. Cities are bullt permanent and prosperous foundations only, when home manufactories increase and prosper.s Had the Union Iron Works not been doing well, and the Risdon also, the latter would not have made this large purchase and enlargement. The roll- ing mills would not have gone out of ex- istence had the stockholders enlarged and improved its plant, to keep it up with modern Eastern establishments. An enormous increase in the capital would have been required to do this, and as as- sessments under poor management in- stead of dividends had long been the rule, the Increased capital was not forthcoming and the establishment was closed. The Risdon will make a good phenix, from the long cold ashes of the rolling mills.” Shalnwald, Buckbee & Co. have sold for A. W.

RESORTS PREPARING For Big Business This Summer. Conditions were never more favorable for a large summer travel in California than at present, and anticipating that result, both the summer resorts and trans- portation companies are making big prep- arations. The resorts are enlarging and improving their facilities for entertain- ment, and the railroads are improving conveniences for travel and establishing lower xcursion rate: The tendenc, to reduction of rates, not only in travel but in the cost of outings, is marked in all directions. As alds to outings, the value of which can hardly be estimated, the Southern Pa- cific has published an elaborate series of pretty folders and pamphlets which de- scribe and illustrate almost every place of note in the State and fully expldin the ways and means of a visit. They can be had upon application to any Southern Pacific agent, or if asked for by mail by enclosing a stamp for each publication. Among the more valuable are “‘Resorts and Attractions on the Coast Lin “Shasta Resort “Lake Tahoe,” “Yo- semite,” “Geys “Summer Outings, D large, handsome folder map of California.

The visitors at the Mark Hopkins Insti- tute of Art on Friday had an unexpected pleasure in seeing two pictures which have just been brought from the East by Collis P. Huntington and presented to the art association. One of them is a still life by William Harnett, a marvelous piece of work in its attention to detail and yet with an atmospheric effect that makes each object seem absolutely real. The other is a rich summer landscape by Julian Rix, one of the latest and best pieces of work by this well known painter. The Harnett is from Mr. Huntington's New York gallery, while the Rix was pur- chased by him especially for .the art insti- tute. That the public appreciated the op- portunity of being given the first chance to see these admirable works was evl- denced by the crowds that surrounded them all day.
