Coo When a man, from coffee drinking, gets to such a condition that he cannot eat breakfast without throwing it up it seems | time to quit, but there are thousands of weak-minded people who have not logical brains enough to understand that when en articie of food or drink produces such conditions as these it should be abso- v left off. Fitzmaurice, writes that she and her hus- band are a different kind of people. They knew enough to quit coffee when it had rapped them hard. She says: band was so badly affected that he ate no breakfast for three or four years. He would often try to drink a few sips of eoffee and invariably threw it up. When Postum Food Coffee was brought to my ettention T tried it without having any faith in it, but when I found what a de- liclous beverage it was when prepared ac- cording to directions, and from trying it | on myself found there were no bad ef- fects, 1 induced husband to take a cup without telling him it was the Food Coffee. He objected at first, saying that | he would be sure to throw it up, but when | I insisted upon his trying it, it agreed; with him. “Morning after morning I gave him Postum without telling him that it was any different from ordinary coffee. His stomach guickly recovered and he began to eat breakfast He asked me one morning, as he asked for & second cup of the Postum, ‘“What witch had taught me to make such deliclous coffee,’ and | where 1 “found some that would agree | with him? Then I told him for the first | time that he had not been drinking coffee, | but Postum, which had so strengthened | | bis stomach that he could now eat as| much breakfast as any one. | My two sisters were badiy troubled | with stomach disorder, but after leaving ! off coffee and taking Postum they both | recover their appetites and took on considerable flesh.

An action to determine the question of jurisdiction of the Civil Service Commis- sion over the deputies in the office of the | Tax Collector was argued before Judge Murasky vesterday and submitted for de- cision. The suit in question was insti- tuted by Al Lewald, who asks that a writ | {of mandate issue directing Treasurer | | Brooks to cash his demand for services | rendered as a Deputy Tax Collector. Lewald was appointed a deputy by Tax Collector Scott in April. His demand upon | the treasury was rejected by Treasurer | | Brooks, however, at the request of the | Civil Service Commissioners, who claim | the right to appoint the deputies in the | office of the Tax Collector. | _Attorneys J. C. Campbell and Thomas | Breece, who represent the petitioner, con- tend that an officer holds over until his successor is appointed, and such succes- sor, they claim, oould only b by the Tax Coilector. The Civil Se:vice provisions of the charter not only fail to vest the commission with power to ap- point deputies in the office in questign, they urge, but were unconstitutional. An- other point raised was that Lewald, hav- ing performed the services set forth 'in his | petition, was entitled to his salary. Attorney George D. Lane, on behalf of the city and county and the Civil Service Commission, said that the person who was | entitled to the salary of the office in issue was the person entitled to the office, not the person who had performed the ser- vices, if such person had been illegaliy | appointed to office. Mr. Lane also urged | that the Civil Bervice Commission did have jurisdiction over the deputies in the office of the Tax Collector, and in view of this condition, that the prayer of the petitioner should be denied. | " Judge Murasky took the case under ad- visement and will give his decision next i week. —_———,———— | CELTIC UNION PLANS GRAND IRISH FESTIVAL | “Siege of Limerick” to Be Produced at Glen Park on Admis- sion Day. | The general committee of the Irish fes- | | | ¢ | business teiephone, with unlimited service, $1 | i | { ing and arranged the programme of | events to be given on Admision day at | | Glen Park.

Judge Sloss has taken under advisement | 2 motion made by Margaret L. Gowdy, | guardian of aged Joseph O’Hare, for the | appointment of a receiver to take posses- | | sion of property and money aggregating | $72,000 in value and now in the hands of Thomas H. Jacques. Counsel represent- ground that O’Hare's gift of the property | in question to Jacques was valid and that | O’Hare was of sound mind when he made the gift. In support of the contention that O’'Hare was and is of sound mind, Jacques’ attorneys filed affidavits to that effect, signed by Frapk Vernon, Richard P. Valerga, Ida Valerga, Darrel L.

The ex- pectation is that this factory will eventually obviate the mecessity of tmporting Portland cement from Ger- many. There is a large deposit of the cement in the crude state at the site se- lected for the works, supposed to be prac- dcally inexhaustible. This is so situated that it can be handled by gravitation from start to the time that it is finally deposit- ed in the bins ready for shipment, so says Nathan L. Bell, who has organized the company. All the money needed has been raised and there is no stock for sale, A representative is in the East negotiating for the needed machinery. The picture shows the general arrangement of the buildings in the plant. These structures will be made of steel and corrugated iron, no wood being em- ployed. The furnace building will be 200 teet long and will contain seven furnaces. Each building will have one side remov- able. so that a duplict.te plant can b. set up beside the original outfit readiy. The buildings and ‘machinery will cost about e company s capitalized at $500,000. Jeorge Stone is the president, Nathan L. Bell secretary and these with Joseph F. Kilby, Samuel McMurtrie and Morris Kind constitute the board of diregtors. There is only one Portland cement plant existing in California, a small one at Col- ton. There are now 50,000 barrels of Port- land cement imported each month to San Francisco from Germany and the quan- tity is steadily increasing. The monthly consumption of the Pacific coast is about 70,000 barrels. The freight rates keep the Colton product out of this market. As there is a duty of thirty-two cents per barrel upon the German cement the people In the Pacific Portland Cement Company foresee that they will have the field.™ Electricity will be used for power and petroleum for fuel, both being _cheap. Sixty men will be employed when the plant is in operation. e s CEMENT WORKS FOR SUISUN. Half a Million Dollars Will Be Ex- " pended on a Plant. SUISUN, June 14.—A company which will be known as the Eureka Portland Ce- ment Company has been organized ané incorporated for the purpose of buildin, a mammoth cement works near Suisun. The company is composed of prominent San Francisco men and is capitalized for $1,000,000, all of which has been subscribed. The directors of the company are L. Ros- enfeld, H. Rosenfeld, W. H. Talbot, H. W. Goodall and A. T. Fletcher. During the past year the projectors of the enterprise have had an expert, R. P. Doolan, examining the lime depos- its of this and adjoining counties, and finally it has been decided that the lime. § deposit on the farm of A. A. Dickle is . \ BUILDINGS WHICH WILL BE USED IN THE NEAR FUTURE IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PORTLAND CE- MENT, A NEW INDUSTRY FOR THIS PORTION OF THE STATE. BUILDERS AND OWNERS OF REALTY WILL WATCH THE NEW ENTERPRISE WITH INTEREST. Sl B s bR the best that can be found for the manu- facture of the desired cement. A thor= ough examination has been made of the property and it has recently been pur- chased of Dickie. No site has yet been selected for the works, but théy will- be located some- where in the vicinity of Suisun. About thirty acres of land will be required for the plant, and it alone will cost over $250,000. Other improvements will also be made, and it is estimated that the total outlay will exceed $500,000. The works will be operated night and day and will em- ploy about 200 men in manufacturing ce- ment. The plant at first will be of suf- ficlent size to manufacture 250,000 barrels of cement annually, and will probably be much enlarged in subsequent years. The works will be operated by electric power furnished by the Bay Counties Power Company, as will also the drills and machinery 'at the quarry on the Dickie place. The quarry, the works and the town of Suisun will be connected by an electric road for the purpose of haul- ing the rock from the quarry to the works and the finished product from the works to town_for shipment, both by rail and water. In the furnaces at the works oil will be used for burning the lime, and large quantities of this kind of fuel will be consumed. This is the largest enterprise which has ever been projected in this vicinity, and much interest is being taken in it. The company is now engaged in selecting a site for the plant and in other prelim- nary work preparatory to commencing work on the factory.

The Epworth League officials predict that the decorations in honor of the in- ternational convention will be far supe- rior to anything ever seen before in San Francisco. The Maltese cross, which is the emblem of the organization, will play an important part in all electrical and other displays. The streets will be trimmed with ever- green and attractive pictorial designs along Market street from the ferries to Ninth street and as much outside of these limits as may be practicable. The electrical decorations are planned to be particularly fine. Between the larg- er illuminated devices which will be placed on the newspaper and other build- ings by private individuals there will be a series of arches, beneath which will ap- pear the Maltese cross. The Ferry building will be lighted up the same as _for the President's visit, with the addition of the word “Wel- come” on the Oakland side. The Call building and the City Hall, by special re- quest of the Epworth League officials, will also appear as during President Mc- Kinley’s visit. Business firms all along Market street have promised to furnish appropriate decorations and some of the largest rcantile houses assure the com- motteesn%f displays which will surpass anything ever before attempted for an affair of this kind. The finance commit- tee of the convention proposes to expend about $5000 for street decoration. Mechanics’ Pavillon and Metropolitan Hall, together with the churches where services are to be held, will also be dress- ed in gala attire. What the interior dec- orations will be is undecided as yet, but it is stated that they will be very elabor- ate. Flowers and native plants will be used extensively and banners and bunt- ing will also play a prominent part in the adornment of the meeting places. It is expected that in addition to the decoration fund appropriated by the offi- clals there will also a large private subscription. Commercial men are tak- ing hold of the project with a great deal of interest and the owners of private houses will be requested to decorate so far as may be practicable. Troubles of the Married.

Says Catholic Church Will Be Potent Factor in Its Development. —— % A large audience was present last night at Metropolitan Temple to hear Dr. Ben- jamin F. de Costa lecture on ‘“America,” under the auspices of the Catholic Truth Society. The lecture was highly interest- ing, being an exhaustive study of the present conditions existing in this coun- try. Dr. de Costa treated of social and re- liglous questions, such as trusts, expan- sion, the negro problem, the drink evil and’ divorce, all of which he held would be solved by the creation of a new Amer- ica. Dr. de Costa said: ‘We are able to forecast the fytuge of America by its past. Judging the people of this country by their origin Chere need be little fear that the result will not command the admiration of the world. There is the possibility of the crea- tion of a new man out of the heterogeneous | mass composing its population. The Ameriean is not unlike his English brother in the desire for the acquisition of new lands. Hawali was seized by this Government without the slightest authority from God or man, but by the con- nivance of unprincipled adventurers and mis- slonaries’ sons. We have taken the Philip- pines—for better or for worse, for richer or poorer—and we will never get rid of them. The unification of America will be accom- plished in various ways. One is by the cessa- tion of immigration. That will only happen when the industrial conditions in Europe are such that they will keep the natives home. Then only will overcrowding cease here. We spend §10 in drink to $1 for education. We can- not afford to contirue spending $1,000,060,000 for strong drink. Other evils that must be com- bated are monopolies, trusts, legislatures sold for cold cash, strikes, mob law, the labor re- former denying a man the right to work when he finds work at satisfactory. wages, and finally divorces. The situation is not hopeless, but we are rap- 1dly hastening toward the danger point. I be- lieve that the constitutional and political ma- chinery will stand the strain at the crucial point, ‘and that a splendid future awaits the people of America. Who will save the nation at the danger point? I answer, a divine power, the Christian education.of the people, and de- velopment of their agricultural resources. We are offered the opportunity of opening up men- tal, moral and physical riches and we will fail if ‘we undervalue the situation. The Catholic church will spread its influence in the creation of a new era in America by helping to create | good citizens, a mighty and much needed factor in the upbuilding of a great nation.

SEATTLE, June 14—The Yukon is open from end to end, according .to news brought down by the steamship Dolphin, which arrived this morning. brought down $40,000 in gold dust. The presence of $2,500,000 of gold dust in the banks at Dawson has caused a renewal of speculation as to what the total output of the Klondike will be this year. Com- parisons have been made with the receipts in previous years to the corresponding date and calculations made. It is held by many that one-half of the total output is now in the panks and they figure that the grand total will oe in the neighbor- hood of $15,000,000. Many persons, how- ever, are ready to place the amount at a greater figure, and these hold that be- tween $20,000,000 and $25,000,000 would be nearer the correct estimate. —_—e—————— CAMERA CLUB ENTERTAINMENT.—The California Camera Club will hold its monthly entertainment and exhibition at the Academy of Sciences building next Tuesday evening.

He Is Saved the Further Dis- grace of Being Placed on Furlough. WASHINGTON, June 14.—The loss of ten numbers in his grade and reduction of Lis pay to furlough pay for two years and The ship | to be publicly reprimanded is the sentence | imposed by the court-martial upon Cap- | tain Robert E. Impey, at present sta- | tioned at the Mare Island Navy Yard. | The captain was charged with scandalous | conduct in havipg represented to a den- | tist that his bill must be reduced because | it required the approval of the treasury | officers, whereas this was purely a per- sonal matter. Secretary Long has addressed a letter to Captain Impey advising him of his approval of so much of the sen- tence as directed a reprimand and |a reduction in rank, but stating | that the part of the.sentence recom- | mending that Captain Impey should be i placed on furlough for two years was re- mitted, “not because of any clemency which you are regarded as meriting, but for the reason that the department does not cersider that the interests of the navy will be advanced by permitting you to | remain in idleness for two years when the vices of all officers are required on ac- i uty.” In administering the reprimand included | in the sentence Secretary Long says: “The offense of which you have been | found guilty is one which affects your | honor as an officer, and it is not thought | that anything which the department may say in the nature of a reprimand can add to the mortification which you should suf- fer by the publication of the general court-martial order reciting the echarge and specification and findings and_ sen- tence of the court in your case, with the action thereon.” The letter closes with an order that Cap- tain Impey shall be released from arrest and restored to duty. | OFFICIALS NO LONGER | FEAR MOB VIOLENCE | Excitement Over the Murder of Planter Edwards Is Almost Wholly Allayed. SHREVEPORT, La., June 14.—The fu- | neral of John Gray Foster, the young | planter who was killed on his plantation by Prince Edwards, a negro, on Wednes- day last, occurred this afternoon and was largely attended. A majority of the bu | ness houses of Shreveport were closed, in order that their employes might attend the funeral.
