WARNER'S REMEDIES. FRANKNESS is admired by every honest man or woman. The subjoined, unsolicited letter from a prominent physi- cian cannot fail but carry con- viction to any unprejudiced mind. OAH HALL SANITARIUM, Hansas City, Hans. E. J. Woodrow, Mgr. Hansas City, Hans., Aug. 28, 1900. I take pleasure in stating that I have used Warner's Safe Cure extensively for the last ten years in my practice. Among the many remedies employed, I have found nothing that has given such gratify- ing results in all cases of HIDN. AN BLADDER TROUBLE. In severe cases, in almost every in- stance, I have had to resort to. Warner’ Safe Cure before effecting a permanen cure. 1 am happy to say that it is reliable, notonly as a Kidney and bladder regulator, but it acts as a general tonic as well, the most delicate stemach heing able to tolare ate it: In many cases of FEMALE TROUBLE I have used it with marKed success. I feel {:utifled in stating there is no other nown remedy that can equal it in all Hidney or Bladder Troubles. Very sincerely yours, E. J. WOODROW, M.

BATTLESHIP WISCONSIN MAKES HE Wisconsinn returned from Seattle early yesterday morning after a great run down of fifty- eight hours. She went right up the bay and anchored in her old berth off the Union Iron Works. The battleship is in good trim after her run north. Her officers and men have nothing but praise for the way she be- haved. On the way up she ran into the big storm of September 23 and 24. She left here Saturday, September 22, and was well up the coast when she struck the gale. It was a terrifi®*blow, but the big battleship behaved splendidly. She proved herself o wonderful seaboat and as quick to obey her helm as a yacht. For hours she bucked into the big seas, g easily at ten knots with seventy- ir turns to the minute and taking ver.’ little water aboard. But the storm grew worse and soon the green seas were com- ing in over the bow and rushing aft as far as the superstructure. There was nothing forward they could hurt, how- ever, =0 she Kept on. She shipped some big ones, though, among them being one that climbed aft as far as the big turret, deluged the men on watch on the flying bridge fifty feet above the water line and more than one hundred feet aft of the bow, and then flving higher and farther it ldpped over the two immense funnels and left the superstructure deck awash. Another sea soon afterward broke nearly as high and as far aft, but the battleship shook herself free of them and kept on as if they were nothing. In the morning when the sun came out the drenched fun- nels dried in streaks and they still show the white cry waves_th: ame aboard. The W sin was five days in the dry- dock at Port Orchard. During that time excurs were run from the Sound | cities, and on Sunda |tween five and six hundred visitors | aboard. She did no fast work during her trip north nor in the Sound, but on her way to an anchorage from the drydock h cked up her heels a little hit, and | with ninety turns she easily made thir- | te |r11 kno Those who made the trip wit handsome bonus for extra speed #bove the sixteen knots called for by the con- | tract. The Wisconsin will at once prepare for her run against time in Santa Barbara channel. She will take her bunkers full of coal and will probably limber up her machivery a bit by short runs in the bay | before starting south ‘Tuesday. The Ranger, Philadelphia and lowa will ac- company her and will act as stakeboats along the course. | | - RANGER AND MARION COLLIDE. Two 0ld Men-o’-War fiump Together in Midstream. The naval reserve ship Marion and the | | | Unitea States ship Ranger were in colli- | sion yesterday morning and both were ged about the lower rigging and | 'along the rails. The Ranger was lying to | {the south of the Marion and a strong | flood tide was running. There was a stronger breeze from the southeast, how- ever, and this drove the Ranggr and the Marion against the tide until they both lay bows on to the city. The Ranger's anchor was foul and she commenced to drift down on the Marion. Before anything could be done she struck the na reserve ship on the port quarter and there in the davits. In the meantime the Ranger's engine had been started, and as she drew astern she raked the Marion ith her jibboom right down her port side, carrying away some of her head gear and her lighter rigging. The jibboom | of the Ranger was sprung and her head- gear was damaged. The Marion had also two boats crushed and a pair of heavy davits bent. RS, S NEWS OF THE OCEAN.

Ever sfnce the days when Adam set forth from Eden man has loved the ex- citement and the joy of adventure and daring travel. Hence in every age of the world there have been those who have taken their lives in their hands, and, Journeying forth into parts of the world remote from the scenes of their youth, have braved perils and even death in the hope of being able to go’ where man had never been before and see things which man had never seen before. It has been from the enthusiasm of ad- venturous spirits such as these that the extension of ‘geographical knowledse which most strikingly affects the Imagina- tién of the world in general has had its origin, Columbus was among these spirits. So, too, were Cabots and Sir Francis Drake. So, too, were Prince Fer- dinand of Portugal and Vasco da Gama. | Bo, too, were Sir Walter Raleigh, Henry Hudson and Captain Cook. And so have | been many others who have won fame as these men won it—by dint of their ardor for discovering and exploring parts unknown. In the fleld of geographical exploration the century opened with the exploits of Alexander von Humboldt, in whom the ardor of the discoverer and explorer con- joined with an intense scientific ardor and a high power of felicitous literary expres- sion to produce perhaps the greatest and most remarkable contributor to geograph- ical knowledge the world has ever known. Humboldt's travels and observations—in the West Indies. graphical effort. But Humboldt's work for geography was not most character- istically seen in what he did for the mere extension of its domain, in the numberless items of positiye information which he contributed to its store. His most note- worthy achievement in the two fact (1) that he was perhaps the first of all the great geographers to deal with geo graphy as an exact science, and (2) that he made the scientific side of geographi- cal study popular with the masses of the people. “Captain Ccok was the only man to Humboldt's time whose work for geography was at all compar- able with his. But even Cook's work, great as it was, was slight compared with Humboldt. An “ignis fatuw plorers for many of geographical ex- I vears was the hope of discovering a ‘‘northwest pas: e from the Atlantic to the waters of Asia. In the first third of the century there were many expeditions that had for their ob- | | ject this—as w2 now know it to be—im- practicable achievement.

Sir John and Sir James, and their friend Parry. Though all the “northwest expeditions commanded by these famous navigators were failures, so far as their main object was concerned, nevertheless they all were extremely useful in making known and definite the geographical fea- tures of the northern part of this conti- nent. It should be borne in mind that it was Sir James Ross who, In 1831, won the great distinction of locating the north magnetic pole. On the 1st of June of that year he fixed the flag of his nation at a spot in Boothia Felix where he found the “dip” of the magnetic needle of the sur- Veyor's compass to be so great that the needle stood on end and pointed vertically downward. ¥ But the principal interest of the world in Northwest discovery attaches to the ill-fated expedition which in 1845 set out from England to effect the passage to Asla by way of Arctic waters under the command of the veteran explorer Sir John Franklin. After the ships of this expedition had entered Davis Straits they never were seen again. There were three years of anxious waiting. Then known that they had met with some fatal mishap. Expedition after expedition was sent out to obtain if possible some trace of the heroic navigator, his men or his ships, but it was not until 1565 that any positive information as to the fate of the And this in- s as meager § learned that every rished. and that was all. And vet Frankiin and his fellow heroes had olved the problem they had set out t solve. They had passed from Atlant waters to Pacific waters. But the prob- lem, though soived, was usele The achievement could never be practically re- peated. A second great field of geographical ex- pioration and discovery in the nineteenth century has been the Antarctic Ocean. Especially was this so in the twenty-five years that extended from 1520 to 1845. The principal hero of Antarctic discovery so r has been Sir James Ross, of magnet pole fame, but the regions of the Antarc tic seas are still in great part unknown 1t is supposed that a vast mass of land a-continent, one larger, indeed, than the continent of Australia—surrounds the south pole, but this is in reality only surmise.

San Francisco, Mare Island and Vallejo will be the landing points of a new pas- senger and freight steamboat line that will soon begin operation. A syndicate composed of New York and San Francisco capitalists has taken hold of the project and articles of incorporation have just been obtained in New Jersey. The cor- poration will be known as the California Rapid Navigation Company, with a capi- tal stock of $100,000. The new company has had a representa- tive in this city for some time and he has securcd the necessary docking facili- ties in this city as well as in Vallejo. The company’s charter permits it to operate a system of passenger and freight boats not | only on the San Francisco Bay and ad- jacent waters but also to any part of the > P %adition to the passenger service the company is to make a feature of the freight department. There is a great deal of traffic between this city and San Pablo Bay points, and it is proposed to take all the profitable freight that goes between the two places.
