She arrived yesterday a Falmouth just ninety-seven da from this port. The Muskoka is the smart est sailer of all the limejuicers that come to this port and has broken records in every trade in which she has engaged. She came out here from Antwerp i 113 daye. Solna st Sydney to Go on Drydock. The Pacific Mail steamship City of Sydney will be placed on Hunters Point drydock before she makes another trip to Panama. Few ves sels have entered this port even affer long Yoy ages with such adhesion of barnacles and sea- weed as now incumbers the bottom of the Pan- ama liner. When the Sydney crossed the bar on her last outward voyage the foulness of her hull so interfered with navigation that she wallowed heiplessly in the big swell and floated s the current carried her. On board two Low- boets that were in sight it was belleved that her machinery had broken down and prepara- tions were made to go her assistance, when, the force of the propeller overcame the resistance o the barnacles and the City of Sydney proceede on her way. e Wharf Rat Makes Quick Touch. A wharf rat, name unknown, grabbed a flask of quicksiiver yesterday morning from an Overland Freight Transfer Company's truck, jumped with his booty through a hole in the Wharf and has not been seen since. The theft was reported to Policeman Mackey at the Mail Dock. Mackey called to his assistance Special Officer Fitzgerald, who is skilled in the dark ways of the wharf rat, and the two officers spent several hours searching for the thief, but failed to find either thief or quicksilver. The quicksilver is valued at about $100. - ot < Off for the Canneries. The ship Two Brothers and the steamship Centennial sailed yesterday for the canneries — ADVERTISEMENTS. THE STRENUOUS LIFE A Great Strain. No one disputes the fact that we are living in a “rapid” age; it is rush, rush, rush from morning until night, and com- petition is so fierce that the struggle does not cease until the machine is worn out. ‘Women, too, even when surrounded by every comfort, become infected by the common spirit, and what with their clubs and many social duties, have no time to give thought to their physical well-being, until they are suddenly brought to a sharp realization of the fact that noth- ing in their lives is so important as at- tention to correct, or rational living. If may surprise the readers to learn that women are more prone to piles than men, and in most cases, because it is difficult to impress upon them the importance of regular movements of the bowels; irregu- larity means straining at stool, and straining means piles, with the certainty (under the usual methods of treatment) that the sufferer will “have them always with her;” by “usual methods” is meant the application of salves and lotions, or (as a last resort) a surgical operation. If there is a complaint which entalls more Gistress and suffering upon those afflicted than piles or hemorrhoids, it is not known to the writer; fortunately, how- ever, these are learning that there is a remedy that effectually cures all forms of piles; it is known as the Pyramid Pile Cure, is in suppository form, is applied directly to the parts, and doés its work quickly and pajnlessly; it is sold by drug- gists for fifty cents a package, or will be mafled by the makeérs to any address, upon receipt of price. Mrs. John H. Cas- tona, 2042 Arch street, Chicago, says: “I must write you that I was cured of a very aggravating case of itching and bleeding piles by the use of the great remedy, Pyramid Pile Cure, even after several physicians had claimed there was no cure except by an operation. I am well now, and owe all to this valuable remedy. 1 cannot say enough for it.”, Write the Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich., for their little book on the cause and cure of piles.

A aispatch recelved yesterday at the Mer- chants’ Exchange tells of the destructfon on March 17 off the coast of Brazil of the whaling bark Kathleen. A huge sperm whale came up to breathe and struck the bark amidships. The vessel was broken in half and sank almost im- mediately. Three boats' crews were saved One boat is missing. The Kathleen was com- manded by Captain Howland and hatled from New Bedford. Arrives From New York. The American-Hawalian steamship Califor- nian arrived yesterday afternoon after an un- eventful trip from New York. Her cargo con- sisted of general merchandise and a big con- signment of fron for a number of local foun- dries.

WILL ARRANGE AILWAY RATES Transcontinental Pas- senger Association to Meet Soon. The quarterly meeting of the Transcon- tinental Passenger Association opens the 15th of this month at Coronado. The most important matter to come up for final consideration is the “Interchangeable Mileage” system. Should this new sys- tem go into effect, it will be possible to buy transportation in book form that will be recognized by all roads west of the Mississippi River. These books will wve sold for $100, and when the transportation has been all used the purchaser of the book - will receive $25 rebate by applying at the rallroad office where he bought the book. Under this new system the rail- roads hope to deliver a “solar plexus” to the ticket scalpers, who at present buy and sell mileage books. At the meeting the rates will be fixed for the General Assembly of the Presby- terian church, which opens at Los An- geles on May 21. They will also make a rate for the Wholesale Druggists’ Asso- ciation convention that will be held at Monterey on October 22. East-bound rates for the Elks convention at Salt Lake will be finally settled and the Eagles Aerie that opens at Minneapolis on June 3. The sreecial rates for the clergy will be _arranged for the next twelve months and tile special baggage rates for theatrical people. At the present time each rail- road has a different railroad ticket and it is almost certain that at this meeting all lines that operate west of the Missis- sippi River will adopt a uniform ticket. Some of the brightest railroad men In America will atténd the association’s meeting, most of whom at the close of the business will return East by way of San Fraxcisco. twenty-five mimt uf the height of tide is the same at both vfi FRIDAY, APRIL 4.

L PURCHASES SCHOOL SITE IN SUNNYSIDE DISTRICT Board of Education Decides to Pro- vide Accommodations for Pupils in Two Localities. The Board of Education met yesterday and decided to purchase two sites where- on to erect schoolhouses. Ome site Is lo- cated on Flood avenue and is intended to accommodate the Sunnyside district. The other adjoins a school lot at Twenty- fourth and Douglass streets and cost $2050. A building will be erected thereon for the pupils of Noe Valley. Leaves of absence were ted to Mrs. M. A. Nellls, Miss C. C. Stohr, Miss M. E. Mower, Miss A. J. Connolly, Miss E. Tidd and Miss R. Thayer. F. M. Goldstein was reappointed head of the drawing department.of the Girls’ High School. Superintendent Webster was not pres- ent at the meeting and the long-delayed report on the investigation into charges against Principal M. Blanchard was not presented to the board. Two Lost “Injuns.” The attention of United States Immi- grant Commissioner North was called yesterday to the case of two Imn- dians from British Columbia, who were landed at this port by stress of circum- stances and who wished to be returned to the country whence they came. They are fishermen and seal hunters, members of the crew of the British sealer Favor- ite. Two weeks ago, when off the coast of Mendocino, they were in one of the small boats and lost the Favorite in a fog. They were picked up by a_sailing vessel and brought to this port. The In- dians were turned over to the British Consul, who will provide for their trans- portation home. e —— NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. DOCTORS ENDORSE HERPICIDE Because Its Formula Is Submitted to Them.
