Mot ood *5,000 REWARD Owing to the fact that someskeptical peoplehave from time to time ques- tioned the genuinessof the testimonial letters we are constantly publishing, we have deposited with the National City Bank, of Lynn, Mass., $5,000 which will be paid to any person who will show that the following testimonials are not genuine, or were pub- lished before obtaining the writers’ special per- mission. — LYDIA E. PNkEAM MEDICINE Co. hori How shall a mother who is weak and sick with some female trouble bear healthy children ? 4 How anxious women ought to be to give their children the blessing of a good constitution ! Many women long for a child to bless their home, but be- cause of some debility or displacement of the female organs, they are barren. “Preparation for healthy maternity is accomplished by Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound more suc- i by any other medicine, because it gives tone to the parts, curing all displacements and in- sterility in women is very rare. If any woman is sterile, let her write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, ¢ advice is given free to all expectant or would- Mrs. A. D.

From the time I was sixteen years old till I was penty-three 1 was troubled with weakness of the kidneys and terrible os when my monthly periods came on. I made up my mind to try your p’ e Vegetable Compound, and was soon relieved. The doctor said I never would be able to go my full time and have a living child, as I was con- stitutionally weak. I haa lost a baby at seven months and half. The next time I continued to take your Compound : and I said then, if I went my full time and my baby lived to be three months old, I shouid send a letter to you. My baby is now seven months old. and Is as healthy and hearty as any one could wish. I cannot e?re.u my gratitute to you. I was so bad that ¥ did not dare to go away from home to stay any length of time. Praise God for Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- ound ; and mey others who are suffering 0as I did and find relief.

For the new | steam heater is a distinct success, not to mention “The Two Orphans nd the only apparent danger now is that one's liquid emotion may gv up in steam. When the snow it snowed last night (and who ever heard of an orphan fit-out without a snowstorm?) nary a shiver struck the per- spiring audience. It had troubles of ils own and would willingly have taken a turn under the fallir surreptitiously_mopp brow and took | off its coat. No, there's no chance of a shiver up at the Central this week and i it se who are lookiug for one must gv | forth and find elsewhere. Two new names appear on the pro- gramme this week, those of Fay Courte- nay, who looked and played in a charming |and clever fashion the blind orphan | Louise, and Maud Miller, the daughter of Joaquin Miller, who made her first ap- pearance at the theater as Marianne, the outcast, and created a quite favorable im- pression by her work. Howard Hall is well suited in the peri- wigged hero’s part, the Chevalier de Vau- drey, and was received in the usual en- thusiastic fashion py the audience. Clar- ence Arper does well as the Count de Linieres; Stanley Ross as the Marquis de Prestes; while Ernest Howell and Miron Leffingwell as the outlaws both do clever wor! ork.

It is neither farce, burlesque, | extravaganza, parody, pantomime, fish, | flesh, fowl nor good red herring. It is like ‘the earth in pre-Adamite times— without form and void. It has neither | rhyme, wit, humor, satire, sense nor non | sense. Compared 'to “A’ Breezy Tim: | a Broadhurst faree is a masterpiece. The | force of a comparison can no further go.

Tivoli. “Cinderella,” on again this week at the Tivoll, is a glitter of wit, songs, costumes and settings, and of all the firefly dance | | by the electric girls is the crowning fea- | ture. Here is a dance—an electric baliet— that Buropean or Eastern bills have not vet announced. It is a San Francisco— Tivoli—production and its merit is' as| great as is its brilliancy. Four pretty | girls draped in scintillating robes of fire appear in the dance. Hidden in the folds of the costume of each are fifty-six S-can- dle power electric lights, while eight candle and one 16-candle power lights dec- orate the head dress of each dancer. In all 260 lights, 3000 feet of wire and twelve | circuits are utilized in producing the ef- fect. This is the reward of six months’ constant experiment and the result well repays the time and energy expended. | From other places have come those whose claims to fame have been builded on the splendor of the scenes amid which they danced, but at the Tivoli, in “Cinderella,’™ new ideas have been set to more brilliant scenes.

STOCKTON MAN WANTS DAMAGE FROM RAILROAD W. H. Shannon Claims the Southern Pacific Has Infringed Upon Patented Guard Rail. W. H. Shannon of Stockton has begun | suit for damages against the Southern | Pacific Railroad Company for alleged in- | fringement on a patent which Shannon | clalms to have been granted him five or | six years ago. The device is intended for | use where railroads cross each other at right angles. cefved, Before the idea was con- | he crossings were bolted down to a bedplate, with which they were so thor- oughly incorporated that whenever any | one of the four corners was badly worn the whole crossing had to be torn up. ! The invention consists mainly of rectan- | gular pleces, acting as guard rails at each | corner of the crossing. and they are so adjusted that in making repairs a great deal of time, labor and expense is sayed. ceording to Mr. Shannon all thé ree- angular crossings on the Southern Pa- cific, Santa Fe and other roads are pat. terned after his device, consequently he | intends to collect damages for alleged in- fringement. Photographs have been taken jnf every crossing in the Southern Pacific system, and these will be used as evi- | dence when the case comes to trial. The action against the railroad will involve many thousands of dollars. e e PRESIDENT HAYS WILL BE THE GUEST OF HONOR Chamber of Commerce to Tender a Reception to the Distinguished Railway Official. President C. M. Hays of the Southern Pacific Company will be the guest of honor at a reception this afternoon by the | Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco. The distinguished railroad official will be formally greeted by the members of the | chamber and kindred organizations, The | reception will be held at 3 o'clock and President Hays will be escorted to the rooms of the organization by George W. McNear Jr. and Wakefield Baker. Preceding the reeeption the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce will be held and the annual reports will be presented. Willlam M. Bunker, who late- | Iy returned from abroad, will deliver a re- port on “The certainties of our trade with Asiatic Siberia.” There is every likeli- | hood of a large attendance at the meeting. — e Supervisors Acted Unwisely. The Supreme Court yesterday handed down a decision reversing the judgment of the Jdower court in the case of J. W. Stumpf vs. the Board of Supervisors of San Luis Oblspo County. It appears that the board neglected to examine a petition presented to it to find out whether or not certain petitioners were freeholders of the district, and declared that the Templeton Sanitary District was not a legally or- ganized district. Stumpf brought suit as a taxpayer and the lower court held that the order made by the Supervisors was valid. The Supreme Court holds that the order was invalid. | It i Federal Grand Jury Selected.

NORTHERN LINE ~ BREAKS COMBINE Competition for Soldier Pat- ronage Too Keen for Oregon Road. Cuts Loose From the Southern Pacific and Santa Feé Companies and Now Doss Business In- dependently. e Yesterday was a field day at the Pre- sidio for the representatives of the rail- road companies, as 162 volunteers were | discharged. Previous to the discharge of these men the railroad companies had combined, and a representative from the Southern Pacific, the fanta Fe and the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company handled the business. The soldiers upon the price of a ticket were given orders for tickets that entitled them to transportation over any of the lines. | The business centage plan, sfactory to the Oregon line people, was divided on the per- for | Yesterday they broke away from the other people and sold tickets independent of the combine. A merry war was thus inaug- urated, as the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe representatives telephoned to the main offices for reinforcements. The soldiers relished the competition, although the war did not result in any change of rates. Paymasters Kelleher, ‘Wilkins paid off the men, many of them receiving a considerable sum, as the re- sult of from a year to eighteen months’ service in the Philippines. Lieutenant A. M.

Morris in Trouble for| by Claiming a Fox Terrier—Other Police Court Cases. Edward J. Morris, formerly a hackman, appeared before Judge Conlan yesterday on a charge of grand larceny. He was | accused of stealing Dr. Mark Newman's fox terrier Sunday afternoon. Detective T. B. Gibson had occasion to call at Dr. Newman's house, 253 when the door was opened to admit him the dog ran out. Morris happened to be passing at the time and he picked up the dog and walked away with it. Dr. Ne | man followed him and asked him to give yup the dog, but he refused, claiming it was one ne had lost. The doctor called Gibson and ordered him to place Morris under arrest. Then ‘Morris wanted to cut it all out,”” as he expressed it, but the doctor would not have it. The ®age was continued till Thursday and Morrls was released on $100 bonds, accepted by the Judge. Dr. Newman. J. W. Moore was arrested early vester- | day morning on a charge of an attempt to commit burglary. The complaining wit- ness was Lawrence Moran, The case was assigned to Judge s court, and when it was called yes- ierday morning Moran appeared in a state of inebriation. The Judge ordered him into custody on a charge of “drunk” and continued Moore's case till to-day. Frank Reickenberg, the soldier who -ommitted various offenses in_this cit and Oakland. appeared before Judge Ca- baniss yesterday on a charge of forgery preferred against him by Nils Jessen, grocer, Sutter and Larkin streets. Evi- dence 'was given that Reickenberg had been wounded on the head in a battle with Indians some years ago and his skull had been gepressed. which made him irrespon- sible.’ In the Oakland hospital an opera- tion was performed on his head recently, which relieved the depression on _the skull, and he is now all right. The Judge dis- missed the case. —_————— Court Notes. Marquis Hammer filed suft yesterday against the Market Street Railway Com- pany to recover 32000 damages for in-| juries received.by Abraham Hammer, a minor. in a street car accident on Eighth | street ‘on September 22 last. Judgment in favor of the defendant has been found by a jury in Judge Hunt's court in the action Instituted by Charles Tuehrig, husband of Dora Fuehrig, the midwife, against the Market Street Rail- way Company for damages sustained in an accident on College Hill some months ago. The jury found that the plaintiff was guilty of contributory negligence and found its verdict accordingly. A verdict for $600 in favor of Annie Me- Manus and against Stephen Otis of the firm of Otis & Co. was found by a jufy in Judge Hunt's court yesterday. "The plain- tiff alleged that she had borrowed $1225 2 from_ the defendant and depostted with the defendant shares in Comstock mines valued at §2730 30 as security. Finally the dofendant, she alleges, sold the stock de: posited for a larger sum than she bor- rowed and converted the difference. Suit was filed and judgment has been rendered as stated. i In the Divorce Court. The action by which Lorinda L. Wood seeks a decree of divorce from Charles H. Wood, sometimes known as Holden, on the ground of infidelity, has been trans- ferred from Santa Clara County to this city for trial. In addition to a decree of divorce Mrs. Wood asks that an Instru- ment executed by her husband conveying a lodging-house at 409 Turk street to Ves- ta T, flilams, who i{s named as co-re- sgondent, be set aside on the ground that the same was executed without consider- ation. Decrees of divorce were granted yester- day to Frederick F. Rehn from Fiorence Rehn, for desertion, and John Goodman from Frankie Goodman, for desertion. Suits for divorce have been filed by Hen- ry_Schult a%vmst Mary Schult, for infi- delity, and W. C. Jones against Minnie Jones, for desertion. \ Choice Stationery. | Everything in the line of office and cor- respondence stationery, fountain pens, Koh-i-noor pencils, legal blanks, blank books, typewriters’ materials, diaries and daily journals for 1901 at the lowest pos- sible prices.

Explanation: Point off the number into | periods of two figures each, beginning at | the right. Find the largest possible num- | ber which when squared will divide the | first period. 3 squared is 9 and Is too large. |2 squared is 4 and will divide the first | period, which is 5. Place the 2 as divisor at the left and in the quotient space at the right. Divide, subtract and bring down as in long division, only two figures (a period) are brought down instead of |one. Now we change the quotient each time. The new quotient is found by doubling the answer thus far secured. 2 double gives 4. 4 into 15 (omitting the 2) will go 3 times. Place the 3 in the answer space and also after the 4 in the divisor. Now multiply. 3 times 43 equals 129. Sub- tract and bring down as before.

BUEHLER. ry, Bring, Fetch—To carry means “'to take along in going”'; to bring means “to | take along in coming’”’; to fetch means “to | go, get and bring”; a What shall I bring you from Paris rry, please | fetch a chair from the hail”; “Farmers carry their potatoes to market.” Character, Reputation—Character f{s what a man is: reputation is the prevail- ing opinion of his character; as, every o admires the character of Washington A distinguished general may his | reputation through a single blunder. gl:flm. Assert, Allere, Maintain, De. clare, Afirm, State—To claim means prop. erly “‘to demand as one’s own or one's | due,” It is often loosely used, especially |in the United States, for ‘‘assert,” lege,” ‘“‘maintain,” “‘declare” To assert is “‘to say or declare in the fac of implied denial or doubt.”” To ailege is “‘assert without proof.” To maintain is to “uphold by argument.” To declare is to “say publicly, cleariv or emphatically.” To affirm is to ‘‘assert on one's reputation for knowledge or truthfulness.” To state, which is often loosely uted in the sense of | “Say,” ‘assert,” ‘allege,” “declare” or “affirm,” means properly to express form- ally and in detail. Complement, ~ Compliment—A comple- ment is a “full guantity or number” or “that which is needed to complete”: a compliment is “‘an expression of praise”; as, “The ship has its complement of stores’; “Present my compliments to your fathe Continual, Continuous—Continual is used of frequently repeated acts; as, “Contin- | ual dropping wears away a stone’ | tinuous, of uninterrupted action: as “The continuous_flowing of a river. Custom, Habit—Custom denotes the fre- quent repetition of the same act, and may be used by a number of persons taken to- gether. Habit is the effect of custom 1 | a person. Custom is voluntary; habit is | | involuntary, eften uncontrollable, some- | times unconscious. The following sen- tences are correct: “Dancing round a May-pole Is a custom many hundreds of years old”; A loose life brings a man in- {o_habits of dissipation. Deadly, Deathly—Deathly, in the sense of ‘resembling death,” as ‘“She was deathly pale,” is preierable to deadiy, since deadly also means “inflicting “The bite of some insects is deadly.” Biffirent From, Different To—Different from is preferable to Jifferent to and dif- ferent than. ., _ Drive, Ride—We go driving in carriages, riding in saddles. We drive be..nd horses; we ride on them. Dumb, Stupid—Dumb properly means “mute,” “silent.” Its misuse for stupid ‘s partly due, especially in Pennsylvania, to its resemblance to the German dumm. Emigration, Immigration—Emigration moving out from a country: immigration, the moving into it. Foreigners who come to live {n America are emigrants from their fatherland, immigrants to America.
