Lane. She was purchased in the East last December by the millionaire mine-owner whose name she takes, and as soon as she can be got ready will enter the Nome trade. Captain Weeks, one of the best-known whaling men on the coast, will command the vessel and Frank M. Bucklin of the United States transport | rren is to be the purser. The Irrawaddy was formerly a British steamer, but was wrecked on the Atlan- tic coast, got off by an American com- ! pany, repaired and placed under the American flag. She was owned by the West Indies Shipping Company, who sold her to agents of Millionaire Lane. The | vessei is in first-class shape, all except her boilers, which will be replaced before she sails for Nome in May. | Hospital Ship Missouri Inspected. The hospital ship Missouri was exam- | ined from stem to stern and from keelson to deck vesterday by a board sent out from the East. The members of the board are Generzl A. E. Bates, paymaster gen- | eral, U. S. A.; Major John M. Carson, ex- | quartermaste the transpert Thomas, | and Major H. 8. Kilbourne, M. D. Ac companying them were Captains Barne.

All the defects in the vessel were pointed out, and the chances are that the board will recomend that the hospital fittings be taken out and the vessel turned into a freight boat. . Old Time Boatman Dead. “Ben” Franklin Pinkham, one of the oldest boatmen on the bay, s dead. His reatest boast was that on_several occa- ns he rowed Admiral Farragut from Vallejo to San Francisco. For years he made his headquarters at Folsom street wharf, but when the Mail Company ran its side-wheelers to Central America and Australia Ben held out at the Mail dack. He used to tell, without blushing, that on one occasion he .and his whitehall got un- der the paddle wheel of the Orizaba. Ben caught hold of one of the buckets and was carried around three times, finally landing | in_ his boat, which had miraculously es- | caped destruction.

President Baker, Attorney Pillsbury cific Cuast Jobbers' and Manufacturers’ Association have returned from the north, the taking of testimony before the Inter- state Commerce Commission naving been parted for the East. They are well pleased with the showing that was made during the investigation. At Portland an | important admission was made by certain | witnesses who appeared for the St. Louis side of the case. The differentials have been reduced to nortkern points below those In force in ifornia. The witnesses were asked | whether the jobbers of the Middle West | had given them the advantages, in view of the lowered differentials, that they haa | 11d be possible. The answer | so that the testimony | hat has been claimed by the coast jobbers and manufacturers. The coast jobbers are quite confident | concerning the final issue. The argu- | ments will be made in Washington in June and Attorneys Pillsbury and Herrin will attend. There may be a little rebuttal testimony then put in for the Middle West, but the testimony for the Pacific Coast was closed at the hearing in Port- land. —_————— was in the negati went to justify all EXPENSIVE ARTICLES Secretary of the Treasury Chafing Over Outlay of Money by the Bureau.

The Col- ector, after obeying the mandate, repre- sented to the Secretary that it would be impossible to continue the handling of Chinese cases with only one interpreter, Dr. John E. Gardner, and that there would be a glut of coolles, merchants, na- tive sons, etc., in the detention shed at the Mail doc unless one extra inter- preter at least was restored.

Miles’ “For twenty years I was subject to nervous fits and at times have suffered | greatly from nervous prostration. I had as many as fourteen of those fits In a | single night. 1 was treated by good phy- sicians in Alma, St. Louis and Ithaca, but gradually grew worse under their treat- I have taken an endless amount of ment. advertised remedies, but to mno avail Eight years ago I began taking Dr. Miles’ Nervine and 1 commenced to get better at once. The fits did not come so often nor so hard. After a few months the fits ceased altogether, but I have never quite given up the Nervine, as I feel the need of something at times to brace me up and soothe my tired nerves. This wonderful medicine has done more for me than I can ever tell, for it has saved my life, besides hundreds of dol- | lars doctor bilis. I am now 64 years old before in years. People for miles around here know how bad T was before I began taking Dr. Miles’ Nervine, and many through my recommendation have founa it a relief for nervous troubles.” L. R. SIMMONS, Alma, Mich. “My wife had suffered from attacks of epileptic fits for twenty-one years, and in that time had been under the care of sev- eral physiclans without ever receiving any lasting benefit. She has also tried any number of advertised remedies with pilepsy Cured. { Miles' Nervine, and before she had taken Night and Frequent Spells of Nervine. no better results; but when she com- menced taking Dr. Miles' Nervine she could see a change with the first bottle. She continued to improve under that treatment until the fits had entirely dis- appeared, and she has been free from them now for two and one-half years.” J. E. REID, 501 Kishwaukee St., Rockford, IIlL “When my sister, Edith Johnson, was 9 years old she was taken with inflamma- tory rheumatism and it turned into St. Vitus' dance.” She was for six weeks that she could neither walk nor talk, and was in bed for ten weeks. We doctored and doctored and she grew worse ail the time. We had to sit by her bed day and night to keep her from jerking out onto the floor. One day my father sent the doc- tors all away and began giving her Dr. two bottles she could talk and walk. We were greatly surprised to see how rapidly she mended, and we think the Nervine is the greatest medicine on earth. We also used Dr. Miles’ Nerve and Liver Pills in connection with the Nervine and found them a splendid remedy.” MRS. HARRY GLEADALL, 830 Bond Ave., Marion, Ind.

On the Barbary Coast the women have been excluded from barrooms, and last| night throngs of female characters who | until the recent exposure of the degrading conditions in these resorts of the half- world hovered about the bars, drinking and carousing with male companions of a dissipated type, were found confined in other compartments apart from the main barrooms. Much of the stigma of debauchery which has made the Barbary Co notorious has been removed, and recent orders is- sued by the Chief of Police have brought about a condition of reformation. Sup- plemental to the rules laid down by the Chief last Wednesday, and which have | been complied with, comes another, issued | late Saturday nignt, in which measures | are taken to bring the habitues of dance | halls directly under police supervision. The European methods of governing wo- menof the tenderloin and preventing crime have been partially adopted, and keepers of all such resor have been notified by officers from the California-street po- lice station that hereafter all women em- ployed around dance halls must report at such places for work at a certain time and take their departure at a specified hour, and that during the time intervening none of them shall be permitted to leave the | places and appear on the streets. By strictly enforcing this order, which will be done, the police will be enabled to locate time and to keep a close watch on her doings. Complaints of robbery in these places have been received almost nightly at the California-street station, and officers on their beats in these districts have been erplexed when they attempted to appre- gend the offenders. As a general rule, vic- tims have been either *“‘doped” or made nearly unconscious by bad liquor. Then | their pocKets have been rified of their | valuables. The women implicated lnl such transactions immediately disappear, and when the persons who have been re- lieved of their property return with the police to identify the criminals they are unable to find them. he order given Saturday night will greatly facilitate police operations and will have a great tendency to place a damper on crime of this description. INSURANCE COMPANIES MUST KEEP THE LAWS Judge Hanford So Decided, and an Appeal Is Taken to the Cir- cuit Court. ’ The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York yesterday filed an appeal to the United States Circuit Court in this city against the judgment of United States Judge Hanford of the District of Wash- ington in the case of Caroline L. Hatha- way and her minor son, wherein judgment was given agalnst the company for $2504 01 Homer M. Hathaway, husband of the plaintiff, took out a twenty-year life pol- icy for $3000, paying the first year’'s pre- mium of $113 10. Among the conditions of the policy was one declaring the policy forfeited if there was failure to pay any of the yearly premiums. The iisured never made more than the first yment and died five years later. The widow and her minor son brought suit for the amount of the policy, and Judge Hanford gave judgment in her favor for 33000 less the un- palfi premiums and interest thereon and plus the interest on the amount of the ! policy. The decision was upon thé ground that tne policy, being for twenty years, was kept alive notwithstanding the mon- payment of the premiums. by the mere Fallure of the insurance company to pro- ceed in the manner prescribed by the stat. ute to declare the forfeiture.

A Few Useful Hints. sable that .he study should d on by two or three in a cir- rds and sentences must first be read slowly and e.refully. Tr: as much use of the pron tion given as possible. Make the foreign intonation clearly and naturally. 2. The intonation of the French is quite different from the English. It has a pecu- liar accent at the end of every word and phrase. It is a part of the language, a part of the culture of voice: it has a cer- tain sweetness in it, and we do not say it discouragingly, but as a matter of éx- perience, that very few Americans ever can achieve the full. perfect pronuncia- tlon. Therefore, our advice to Students | nce as correctly as you can and make yourself unders as well as possible, improving by degrees, according to the amount of knowledge you have of the language, 3. Although' these lessons and sentences may seem to be somewhat irregular and & | disconnected, we have made them <o in- tentionally, our aim being to keep up the interest of our students. At the same time we give only such sentences and | phrases as will be required by those who expect to put them to a practical use. will be observed, however, that each le son has a certain alm and purpose, and also that we try as much as possible {0 refesh the minds of students by repeating combinations and words of which the learner has already a knowledge, thus obviating the necessity of a copious vo- cabular; French Adjectives Fine; beau; bow.

(b) If the noun is feminine the adjective has an e, as une plus grande main; a larger hand, or a more large hand; oon plooh grand mang. (c) While it is neceskary to place the adverb “‘plus” fore the adjective to ex- press superfority, the adverb “moins, mwo-ang, less, must precede the adjective if inferiority is to be expressed, as: A less blg man; un moins gros—homme —— gro-zaum. A less big woman; femme; groce — (d) In placing ussi,’ fore an adjective, equali as: John is as biz as Peter; Jean est—aussi grand que Pierre.

When we see the image upon the ground-glass screen of the camera—an exact reproduction in both form and color of the appearance of the object—it does not seem so far beyond probability that the very differences in properties of the light that produce the color sensations and that work such wonders in the photo- graphic film should of themselves register Upon the film the colors as truly as the form. It is only to find a suitable sub- stance, a photcgraphic eye. so to call it, that is not color-biind. But this Is not so simple as it sounds. Such a substance has never yet been found, allhou{h the searchers for it have been and still are many. Photography in colors, so far as it has been accomplished at all, has been accomplished by methods more or less in- 4ireet rhe Three-Color Process. The first real success was obtained by completely breaking away from the older jdeas and using a method in which the final colored photograph is obtained by a very roundabout process. This met in all its modifications owes its successful operation to certain physiological pecu- Harities of color sensation.

Benl produced in red values and in no others. Similar photographs taken without mov- ! ing the camera—merely changing the screen for one of green or of violet—give other plates in which the picture is re- | corded in green or in violet vaiucs. The images will be similar in the three plates and_similarly jlaced, but will differ in one in the different parts in accordance with the preportion of the simple compo- nents which make up the light at those parts. Now, if positives are made from the three negatives and each color screen combined with the positive corresponding —or the positives might be colored with suitable red. green and violet dyes—we have the elements of a color photograph. The three colored positives may mounted in three lanterns and white light projected through them. When the three primary images are In exact register on the screen of the stereopticon the picture appears in its natural colors. The Joly Process. There is one modification of the three- color process as outlined above in which the three primary plates are combined in one. This is accomplished in the follow- ing way: A screen is ruled with fine lines, or 300 or more to the inch, the ruling being in the colors chosen as pri; es—~ in this case orange, yellow-green and blue-violet. The lines are colored in reg- ular rotation, the first orange. the second the third blue-violet, the ain, and so on. The three primary color screens of the ordinary three-color process are thus, in a sense, combined in one. A single exposure is made in the usual way through this line screen and a positive obtained, giving the three component color tones separately, but divided into small portions in accord- ance with the rulin A second screen of ruling exactly similar to that of the first s placed in contact with the positive, and the picture viewed by transmitted light appears in its natural colors. The colors in the viewing screen are red, green and blue-violet.
