It leaves no after effects, and I have frequently prescribed it to be given secretly by the drunkard's wife, moth- er or daughter.” Franklyn Waters, who has moved thousands by his stirring temperance lectures, says: ‘No amount of eloquence can equal the wonderful accomplishments of Golden Specific. It Is the greatest temperance worker the world has ever seen. 1 have known it to cure drunkards who were always too drunk to even attend a tem- perance lecture. Every woman should do her best to make Golden Specific & household word.” Mrs, Irene Florence, box 138, Franklin, War- ren County, Ohlo, says: “I had for years patiently borne the disgrace, suffering, misery and privations due to my hus- band's drinking habits. Hearing of your mar- velous remedy for the cure of drunkenness, which I could give my husband secretly, I de- cided to try it.

Breaks Into a Clothing Store and Arrays Himself Becomingly. LT A lone burglar early Thursday morning broke into the Mechanics’ clothing store at 775 Market street and stole a suit of clothes, some underwear and a miscellan- cous assortment of cheap jewelry. An entrance was effected by prying open the rear door on the Stevenson-street side with a jimmy. The burglar, after gather- ing his booty, went Into a small room in the back of the place and discarding his old clothes put on the suit which he had selected from the stock. As it was one of thie most expensive suits in the place the proprietor is inclined to believe that tne burglar knew something of the value of the clothes. A citizeh who was passing on Stevenson street at the time sa;s he saw the crook enter the place. He was poorly clad when he entered, but when he emerged some time afterward,- he claims, he looked like a winner on a horse race. The citizen describes the burglar as be- ing about 30 years of age and with a sev- eral weeks’ growth of beard. He wore a dark slouch hat which was pulled duwn over his face. The suit of clothes which was left the store by the burglar has been turned | over to Captain Seymour, who is making every effort to locate its owner. Early Friday morning burglars entered | the New York saloon on Jackson street, | near Sarscme, and looted the cash regis- | ter of about $30.

Results of the AUTOMOBILE ENDURANGE GONTEST Under the Auspices of the “‘Automobile Club of America™ From New York to Buffalo, September, 1901, ‘We quote the following from the “Cycle and Automobile Trade Journal” of Octo- ber 1, 1901: “The ‘White’ Steam White Sewing Machine Company, Cleve- land, Ohic, entered four of their steam vehicles in the run, one in class A and three in class 3. Thess machines made a better combined record than that of any other make of either steam or gasoline vehicles. Two of them undoubtedly se- curad first-cl. certificates, with an av- erage of nearly fourteen miles per nour for the entire run; another averaged in the neighborhcod of tweive miles per hour, and may also secure a first-class certificate. The two first named had the best average speeds next to Bisiop's, rankii g second anc third, respectively. “At many of the controls the ‘White' wagons would follow this powerful Pan- hard in cme, two, three, four order, and the mest exceilent performance of the machines was the talk of the run. ““The ‘flash steam’ erator used in this vehicle has showr itself to be highly efficient and trustworthy. Not a single mishap of any kind happened to the gen- erator or engine on any of these car- riages. “The good work of the ‘White’ carriage was especially noticeable. During the rainy days, when the roads were in the worst condition, they used less than a gallon of water per mile. Every one of the four made the complete journey through to Buffalo, and could have turned around and made the trip back again to New York over the same schedule. “The steam generator, which is the dis- tinctive feature of the ‘White' carriag consists of helical coils of seamless tul ing, placed one above the other and su rounded by a casing of insulating mate- nd at the bottom the heat is applied by means of a burner.” A._L. Clough, in the for September 18, 1901, say: “‘One point of novelty in this test was | the first public appearance in America of the ‘flash boiler.” It certainly earned for itself the respect of all by the very cred- itable performance which it made, which was perhaps the most interesting feature of the test. The future of the flash boiler will be watched with great interest.” Hugh D. Meier, in the same paper: “The majority of the machines in this contest were stock machines, and most of them were only recently out of the fac- tory. Many of them, particularly the light steam carrlages, should never have start- ed on this run. No matter whether these light vehicles covered the distance in good time or not, they were decidedly out of place. Had they been in charge of men not thoroughly familiar with all their de- tails none of ithem would have reached Albany. One of these light rigs received a new engine en route. Boiler priming | was a source of trouble to most of them, | and no doubt the strong wind at times | interfered with the fire. From these trou- bles the steam carriages with flash boil- ers were exempt; their burners bein, properly inclosed they were not affected y wind® or weather.” (Note—The “Whites”” were the carriages referred to as having flash boilers.) “The schedule for the third day's run showed that the ‘Whites' started fifth, forty-seventh, forty-ninth and fiftieth, the last machine starting sixteen minutes after the first. The distance was elghty- two miles. The ‘Whites’ finished second, third, fourth and fifth. The work of the four ‘White’ carriages caused more talk than anything else on the run. THeir striking snow-white finish compelled at- tention from the very start, and as the run_wore on they proved themselves as good as their looks. Before the run was half over their performance gave ‘steam- orseless Age” that_put_the gasoline vehicles on their mettle. If they gave trouble that fact was remarkably well concealed, and in justice it must be said that there is not the slightest evidence of such a thing.” Dr. l§ H. Bangs of San Jose made the run from San Jose to the top of Mount Hamlilton in two hours fourteen minutes in a “White"” steam carriage—less than one-half the time the same trip was ever made in. The “White”” steam carriage is as simple to operate as an electric motor, with none of the disadvantages of exces- sive weight and expensive power and re- pairs. We have no water glass to watch; impossible to burn out the steam gen- erator; no pump or fire regulation by the operator—it being only necessary to turn on and off the steam, steer the machine and use your brake in operating fit. It is honestly built of the very best ma- terjals and workmanship, all of which are fully guaranteed. We have, we believe, the best automobile ever offered to the market, which has been proved time and again in practical tests. We feel safe in asserting that there are more repairs necessary in one automobile of any other make to keep it in proper working order than on ten “Whites.” The ‘“White’ steam carriage uses less gasoline and water than any other car- riage, has less expense for tire mainten- ance and other repairs, and, on the whole, can be operated with far less ex- pense to the owner, as well as with far greater satisfaction, than any other auto- mobile ever built. Is this what you are looking for? If you have had unsatisfactory experi- ence with cheap automobiles you have no one to blame but yourself, for in automo- biles “the best is surely thé cheapest.” Our reputation for manufacturers of only the highest class of machinery, which has been maintained for a half- century, is a guarantee of perfect satis- faction. ¥ Arthur G.

RECEPTION BY MEMBERS OF THE FREMONT CLUB Leading Republan_c'andidntu Are Given a Hearty Greeting by Young Voters. The members of the Fremont Club, an organization of young Republicans, gave a reception to the Republican candidates at the clubrooms in the History building last night. The affair was a happy one, and- the interest shown in the proceedings, as well as in the greetings to the candi- dates, indicated strong unanimity of sen- timent concerning the personnel of the ticket. President Percy V. Long called the uc meeting to order. He intro ed Asa R. Wells, candidate for Mayor, in a brief ad- dress,’ and_ referred to him as the next Mayor of San Francisco. Mr. Wells paid a tribute to the young Republicans of Cal- ifornia, and particularly those of the Fre- mont Club. He said that the welfare of the country depended upon the young men, and with their help he believed his election was certain. The party, he went on, was animated by the highest motives and he was firmly convinced that its ticket would win. made an address, in which he d to do his duty as an official if John Lackmann, candidate for re-election as Sheriff, was warmly greet- tcrne{. s ed, and he addressed the gathering.

Specialists for Men Without WEAKNESS There is no such condition as weakness in a man under fifty years of age, other than gen- eral debility. Prematureness, loss of vitality, etc., are but symptoms of some damage to the reproductive system. In looking for the loca- tion of this damage we generally find an en- larged, swollen and inflamed prostate gland. As this gland is the very center of the repro- ductive system it can readily be understood that inflammation of it must cause disordered function. These cases are promptly benefited by proper treatment, otherwise the patient goes from bad to worse. The essential point in all of them is the necessity of the cure of the focus of the trouble in the prostate. Many men have unsuccesstully treated for a weakness and be- come _discouraged, when if an antiphlogistic plan of treatment had beem adopted instead of tonics, a cure would have been the result. In our experience there is no drug in the Phar- macopeia, taken into the stomach, that wiil even benefit this class of cases. Our plan of treatment is entirely a local one and prompt results are obtained, as indicated by increased circulation and return of natural vigor. Our colored chart, which we mail on application, is Interesting to any one wishing to study the anatomy of the male, Contracted Disorders. Under the treatment pursued before irriga- tions were established six weeks was deemed the duration of an acute contracted disorder. If it proceeded beyond six weeks it was con- sidered to have gone into chronic condition. From statistics compiled from our practice in the past five years, covering over 6500 cases, we can show that 90 per cent of our patients have recovered in fourteen days or less. It is, therefore, equally proper to hold that a case not entirely cured within two weeks must be considered a chronic one, and some complica- tion bas arisen for which the patient should see a specialist. We invite free consultation on this subject, and offer an experience of over twenty years; in fact, we can positively assert that we have never falled to cure in a single instance.
