THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 28, 1901. 13 ISMAR Convinced a Skeptic. Revelations So Truthful as to Al- most Surpass Belief. A few days ago a very prominent Sam Francisco gentieman waiked into_the re- ception room of Ismar, the noted Egyp- tian Palmist and Clairvoyant, at 1148 Mar- ket street, opposite Sixth. After waiting his turn, he passed into the consultation room. He stated he was skeptical and had no faith in palmistry or clairvoyance, and had come to be convinced either one way or the other. Ismar began that easy flow of language of hers, and half an hour afterward “the cymic 'left her _room wreathed In smiles. He afterward said: “That woman is certainly a wonder. The way she sailed into my business affairs and told me of my past life—a thousand times better than I could myself in that Jength of time—is more than remarkable. She told me of changes I have been con- templating and advised me to make them. She told me of family affairs that were simply astonishing. She also diagnosed my physical condition and correctly named the cause of my ailment. I ghail follow her advice and try to get well. She certainly is all she claims to be, and I unhesitatingly recommend her to all that wish to seek her aid and advice.” evidence of those who have called on this wonderful woman is of such a nature as to convince the most skeptical that the . present and future can be read. Is- mar can be consulted daily from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. at her office, 1148 Market street, opposite Sixth. two doors below Wein- stock & L !

Captain Nearny Secures New Cutter for Use of Naval Militia. There has been much delay in the mat- ter of attending to the closing up of the details of Camp Gage, for the major gen- eral has been obliged to issue an order directing that the rolls and reports of the annual musters and inspections held at the camp be forwarded at once to head- quarters; also that all proper outstand- ing accounts against the camp fund be transmitted without further delay. There is also an order for the immediate trans- mission of reports of practice marches during the camp week, together with au note books, engineering notes, sketches, maps and information relative to the marches. The commanders are all anxious to enter upon the discharge of duties, but from these orders, it 1s apparent that they | are slow in making the returns of what was accomplished. Captain Cheda 6 Company D, Fifth Regiment, has been re-elected command- ing officer of the company. George E. Caldwell has been commis- sioned 2 second lieutenant of the same regiment and will be assigned to a duty yet to be determined. The commanding officer of the Fifth In- fantry has issued orders relative to tar- get practice. There is a desire to discon- tinue the custom of monthly target prac- tice at 200 yards and to require the men to shoot at 200, 300 and 500 yards, as laid down by the regwiations, as it is belleved that practice at the three ances only on the occasion of the State shoots, twice a year, is not enough to perfect the men in”shooting at the greater distances. It is believed that shooting every month at 200 yards is not conducive to first-class marksmanship. Charles H. Holmes, first lieutenant ot Company E of the Fifth, has been elected captain of the company, W. Claypool, sec- ond leutenant, has been advanced to| first lieutenant and Charles Kohler has been elected second lieutenant. | J. Whitney, formerly sergeant major of | the old Second Artillery, has enlisted as a private in Battery D’ of the artillery | battalion, Captain Cunningham. | An effort is being made to have the com- | panies of the Sixth Infantry engage in a | competitive drill for the purpgse of cre- | ating an enthusiasm, which at this time | is said to be wanting. It is the idea of | F. A. Spence of Company B, who is the| promoter of the scheme, to have at first suca drills in each of the three battalions and then have the best in each compete for a trophy: The National Guard companies of Stock- | ton have for some time been without a rifie range, because the one that was at| Goodwater Grove was destroyed by fire. An effort is belng made to establish a new range in the immediate vicinity of the one destroyed and to secure a locality | where a bM-yard range can be estab-| | lished. In the first battalion of artillery seven men have been discharged from the serv- | ice, seven on account of removal and one | for the good of the service. On recommendation of the battery com- manders, and good cause being shown therefor, the following-named “‘non-coms’ have been reduced to the ranks: Corporal Harry W. Fawke, Battery C, and Corpo- | ral John A. Devany, Battery D. At his own request Quartermaster Ser- geant Willls F. Unfred, Battery C. was | relieved from duty as quartermaster ser- geant of Battery C. Corporal Ward D. Grant was promoted sergeant and detail- ed to fill the vacancf‘. The organizatioh will have battalion drill to-morrow_night. Captain Nearny of the Naval Militia has obtained from the United States Navy De- | partment a 36-foot steam cutter for the use of the militia. It is a new vessel and will be delivered in a few days. The car-| rying capacity of the cutter is 53 men and 250 pounds of provisions and water. As soon as the cutter shall have been turned over to the commander the militla will commence a series of boat drills. Captain Phelps, U. S. N., has made a| careful inspection of the Marion and has | forwarded his report to the Navy De- partment at Washington. It is under- stood that he reports finding the vessel in better condition at this time than she has been at any time since she was turned over to the militia. ADVERTISEMENTS. AFTER MANY YEARS Of suffering from kidney disease, Miss Minnie Ryan, of St. Louis, Mo,, found a complete cure result from the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It is such cures as this which es- tablish the sound- ness of Dr. Pierce’s theory: *Diseases which originate in the stomach must be cured through | Every other organ depends on the stomach for its | vitality and vigor. | For by the stom- | ach and its asso- | ciated organs of digestion and nu- | tntion the food | which is eaten is | converted into nu- triment, which, in the form of blood, is the sustaining power of the body and each organ of it When the stomach is dis- eased the food sup- ply of the body is cut down, the or- | gans are starved, and the weakness of starvation shows itself in lungs, heart, liver, kidneys or some other o; . Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery cures discases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, and so cures disease of other organs which have originated through deficient nutri- tion or impure blood. *] had been suffering with kidney trouble twenty vears” writes Miss Minnie Ryan, of 1537 Louisiana Avenue, St. Louis, Mo., *and I | 2ol dockorell BiitS 5 MMBEE oF fhe Bast physi- cians, Two years ago I commenced taking your “Golden Medical Discoviry’ and ‘ Favorite Pre- scription’ and took also several vials of Doctor Picgee's Pellets.

Nobody will trust you for beer. Also, the brewers say there is none, and the brewers should know, because they have made the combination that has put up the price of that humble quencher—steam beer. Nevertheless, beer is up, and while there may be no increase in the price of a glass of pellucid amber there is the dread promise that the schooners that come over the bar will be of so much lighter drau%m hereafter that the fleet must be materially increased to meet the neceds of commerce. There is a great and parching drought. The brewers have raised the price of beer to $650 for barrels, §325 for half-barrels, $225 for third-barrels and $125 for sixth- barrels—a general raise of 331-3 per cent. And the gentleman in a white coat and apron who removes your aridity at 5 cents per remove has advanced the bottoms of his glasses to meet the rise. H® will not charge you more for your glass of beer. Not ever. But he will put less beer in your glass, and you can neither enjoin him nor_say that he keeps an unfair TOTHE ORIENT San Pedro Road to Con- nect With an Ocean Line. SALT LAKE, Utah, July 27.—The Her- ald to-morrow will say: The San Pedro road is not to stop at the San Pedro har- bor. By the time the last spike has been driven a fleet of ocean steamers will be fiying the flag of the Hawailan Islands Navigation Company as an adjunct to the road. These steamers will ply between San Pedro harbor, Honolulu, Yokohama, China and the Philippines, and a control- ling interest in the stock of the company will be owned by the same men who con- trol the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad. R. C. Kerens of St. Louls, who reached Salt Lake from California yesterday, said that the company is now being formed. “Many details yet remain to be perfect- ed,” said Kerens, “but the steamship Jine is a certainty. There are to be ten large steamers for passenger and freight traf- fic and they will be second to none in the Oriental trade. The steamers will work in conjunction with the road and be prac- tically a part of the same corporation. ‘We have several of the steamers already. They are in the transport service at pres- ent, but by the time we need them for our service the carrying of soldiers to and from the Philippines will be about completed.” A Tribute to the Monument. The visitor to the national capital who has seen the Washington monument only once has just begun to see it. A plain, unadorned obelisk, it would appear the simplest object in the world, but, in fact, it is as changeable as the clouds. Never is it twice the same. Every chdnge in the point of view reveals the monument in a new phase, It is a chameleon to the weather. Go close to it, and its walls seem to rise abruptly to a height that is overpowering. _ Sail down the Potomac, and the thinly gleaming white shaft seems to be waving a graceful farewell. Often it is gray and solemn, a part of the every- day world of work and duty. Sometimes in ‘the varying lights it loses its perspect- ive and is a flat outline against the sky; again, each line will stand forth with the crisp clearness of an intensified photo- raph. In the early morning it is beauti- ul in the first rays of the rising sun; on a moonlighted night it is like a thing from another world, cold, gleaming, unreal. Many times in the course of a season the sharp point is lost in clouds, and the shaft rises like a pillar supporting the firmament. The setting sun paints the monument with its most brlllfimt hues, and its last rays are reflected from the gleaming tip. At night, under the star- light, the shaft is solemn like a sentinel. In storm it stands as a type of all that is steadfast. In the clearness of a bright bright summer day it seems tremulous in the pulsing air. Always the same, yet al- ays different, it is like a thing with life, perso! loved. It has relatively little for the !yaulnz stran- ger, but man, confldencg or the old ac- quaintance.—New York Evening Post. —_——— = Greater London.

REDDING, July 27.—An edge of the Eastern heat wave seems to have struck Shasta County. M.

CHICAGO, July 27.—Twenty delegates to the convention of the Baptist Young People’s Union of America were over- come by heat to-day and were cared for and revived in the County Hospital. LINCOLN, Neb., July 27.—Nebraska to- night had the most general fall of rain since the drought and heated spell began. The maximum temperature in Lincoln to- day was 100. Another Enterprise. “I've got a scheme,” said the grafter, “that’ll werk like a cleck. I'm going to put an ad in the paper asking women to send their photographs and a $5 biil and Tl tell them how to become beautiful.” “But how can you make them beautl- ful?” asked the chump. “Don’t have to. I'll send back the pho- tographs with-ietters something like this: ‘Dear Miss—After seeing your photograph we are surprised that you desite to be- come more beautiful than you already are. It sometimes seems that the very ones upon whom God bestows his great- est favors are the least thankful. One so divinely endowed with such loveliness as you possess should be contented. Al- though we have added to the beauty of such women as Lflg Langtry, Maxine El- liott and Lillian Russell, our honor as gentlemen and our reputation as an old- established firm compel us to inform you that you already possess beauty far be- yond the possibilities of our system.’” “But the $5?" asked the chump. “Oh, I guess a woman wouldn’t make much of a howl over the 85" answered the grafter.—Indianapolis Sun. —_——— Illegal use of the Mail. ‘Who taketh the name of the United States Government in vain is quite liable to get into trouble.

It would be hard to find in all history a parallel to the incident that occurred when the departure of the American troops from Peking was announced. Thousands of representative Chinese as- sembled and adopted a petition earnestly entreating the American Government to permit its troops to remain at Peking in the interest of law, order and humanity. The Americans entered Peking by as- sault and as invaders. They occupied a large section of the city as enemies and conquerors. And such has been their con- duct that the conquered beg them not to depart. escutcheon of our nation. No greater tribute could be paid to the military power.—Newark Advertiser.

The writer maintains that t! nionists are not bound to the Conservatives by any unbreakable ties, and the feebleness of the Ministry, he says, is now beco grotesque. erever men meet there is a general consensus of opinion which re- gards as contemptible the weakneas of itxm govemmem which the Unionists keep n_office. The writer sums up by sayl that a Cabinet with Lord Rosebel?r at its head, Asquith as leader in the House of Com- mons, Lord Beresford as head of the miralty, Lord Kitchener in the War Of- fice, Richard B.

GEO. H. THOMAS POST ANNIVERSARY BANQUET Veterans Honor the Birthday of the Hero of Chickamauga and Nashville. The anniversary banquet of Georgs H. Thomas Post, Grand Army of the Repub- lic, at the Occidental Hotel last evening was a patriotic and inspiring event. One hundred and seventy veterans assembled to henor the birthday of the great Union soldier, who saved the day at Chicka- mauga and_subsequently won the great victory at Nashville. Post Commander A. D. Cutler presided at the banquet. Among the talkers were George Stone, department commander; Eugene F. Loud and Charles Sumner. The | company ~was entertained by Richard ‘Whelan, story teller; Walter. Campbeu, | singer, and the artists comprising Mayer's orchestra. | Major Hooper of the Occldental rang the | ranz dinner bell on time. The veterans march- ed from the parlors to the banquet room. When the colors were brought in the or- chestra played the “Star-spangled Ban- | ner’” and the company arose and joined in | singing the words of the music. In many | respects the banquet was the most inter- | esting ever given under the auspices otl the post. —_————— McCarty’s Statistician. The twenty-first issue of the Statistician and Economist, a work of great local value, but of more than that as a refer- ence book, has just been issued. The pres- ent volume, for 1%01-02, is larger and much more complete than any of its predeces- sors, and it has the advantage that cur- rent events are carried right down to date. The book is filled with general statistical matter covering all lands of the globe, but about one-half of the entire book is given over to the United States. A most liberal space, moreover, is devoted to Cali- fornia. The arrangement of the whole mass of statistics is the best possible, the index being the most complete ever at- tempted. The book is issued by L. P. McCarty and is sold at $350 in cloth and $4 50 in leather. —— Street Railroad Censured. A Corener’s jury after hearing the tes- timony yesterday in the inquest on the body of Christian Bunger, a grocer, resid- ing at 1500 Point Lobes avenue, returned a verdict censuring the street rallroad com- pany for his death. They found that Bunger fell off the rear platform of a Secramento street car on July 25 and sus- tained a_fracture of the skull, from the effects of which he died. The concluding portion of the verdict is: “And this jury belleves that said Christian Bunger was not sufficlently warned of the approach of the car to the curve where the dccidant occurred.” —_——— Dance of the Druids.
