PIERCE’S REMEDIES. STRENGTH Is an attribute of manhood universally desired. Few le understand that the on‘l{ source of physical strength is food, and that every ome who has sufficient mourishing food should be strong. But there are thousands of puny le who have plenty of good food. ow is that explained? The explanation is simple. Food does not nour- ish the bodyun- less digested and assimilat- ed. Diseases of the stomach and other or- gans of diges- tion and nutri- tion hinder the proper diges- tion and assimi- lation of the nutrition con- i in the foodeaten. Thus the stren of food is gfll‘ost, wasted. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and its ai- lied organs. It causes the perfect diges- tion and assimilation of food and thus it makes men and women strong. "I had been suffering from indigestion so badiy that T could not work more than half the time, but now can work evs thing I want ” writes Mr. one, Nottow: ery. .

Many of | the specials were late in arriving and a few still are hours from the canvention city; yet the thousands heré and ready for the opening session to-morrow gave the impression of lively meetings in pros- pect. ? The Santa Fe brought in three special trains late this evening, with 500 dele- gates aboard, including representatives from Missouri, Indiana, Nebraska, Ohio | and Illinois. These delegations were due |at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, but were delayed five hours en route. New York delegation of 156 members and a second party from lllinois came in at 6 o'clock over the Southern Pacific, via El Paso. | A St. Louis and Pittsburg special, and a party from Missouri, arrived at 2 o'clock, as did tw specials with scatte | ing parties of delegates.

At Simpson’s Auditorium, where the sessions of the convention will be held, a large tent has been erected to serve as an annex for the accommodation of the various committees, local and otherwise, the State registration headquarters and a : DRESTERS HONDR GHIEF OF ORDER Dr. Oronhyatekha Re-elected Supreme @hief Ranger. Is LOS ANGELES, April 30.—The second day’s sessions of the Independent Order of Foresters were taken up in debating the recommendations made by Supreme Chief Ranger Oronhyatekha in his report, and in electing officers for the ensuing term. The morning s lon wag held be- hind closed doors, with the supreme chief ranger in the chair. The voluminous re- port of the head of the order was dis- cussed in detail, particular attention be- ing devoted to the radical changes recom- | mended. The debate was spirited at | times, especially on the proposed amend- | ments to establish a sick benefit depart- ment and to give the supreme chief ranger power to create Foresters at sight, both of which were considered radical departures. Final action was deferred for the present and the report was laid aside at the end of the merning session. The business of the convention was re- sumed at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. A communication from the Mayor of Mil- waukee was read by the supreme secre- tary, extending a cordial invitation to the Supreme Court to hold its next session in that city and pointing out the advantages that would accrue to the order should the court decide to meet there. Kansas City, Boston and Quebec were other bid- ders. The outiook favors the Hub city. The election of officers was then taken up. Dr. Oronhyatekha was placed in nomination for re-election as supreme chief ranger. The convention rose en masse and greeted the chief with enthu- stastic and prolonged applause. He was €lected by acclamation. The supreme chief ranger addressed the delegates, thanking them for the honor. Judge Wedderburn of New Brunswick Wwas re-elected past supreme chief ranger by acclamation. 1t was decided that the limit of the time allowed for the sitting of the Supreme Court should be restricted to eight days, at the end of which time the court shoyld adjourn to San Francisco and hold one day’s session in Red Men's Hall in that city. To-night the visiting Foresters attended | the Masonic Home Fair in large numbers. MRS, H.AHAMLIE social hall. The annex has been beauti- fully decorated with flowers and made comfortable in every way for the arriv- ing delegates, thousands of whom thronged the place to-day. Simpson’s Auditorium . will hold only the accredited delegates, and there is a general demand and much disappoint- ment in store for the thousands of woman who desired to attend the sessions of the convention. There was a discussion to- day by the programme committee of the suggestion to hold overflow meetings and it is_quite probable that such meetings will be arranged in order to give those desiring to attend an opportunity to hear the addresses to be made by well-known clubwomen and others. PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANTS. In the confusion attending the arrival of so many delegates to-day, opinion on the important subjects of the next gen- eral president and the admission of color- ed clubs to membership in the general federation does not seem to have crys- tallized. Most of the prominent officers and leaders in the club movement were reticent when approached on these .sub- jects. Mrs. Denison of New York is prominently mentioned as. the Eastern candidate for the presidency, while Mrs, CANADA BUILDS UP HER SHIPPING Gives Grenerous Subsidy to Hold Alaskan Commerce. VANCOUVER, B. C., April 30.—The Do- minion Government has decided to grant a substantial subsidy to the Cana- dian Pacific Navigation Company, to as- sist in the operation of steamers between this port and Skagway. For®two years the Canadian Pacific Railway Company has operated the line.at an annual loss approximating $100,000, exclusive of the loss sustained by the wrecking of "the steamship Islander. This deficit has been occasioned by the lack of continuity of trade from here and by competition with American boats from Puget Sound. The amount of the subsidy has not yet becn definitely announced, but it is safd to be between $100,000 and $125,000 a year and all the coastwise mail contracts, as well as those through to Dawson. Ever _since the development of northern trade Vancouver has been at a disadvan- tage as compared with Seattle during the winter season by reason of the fact that Canadian vessels could not afford to make closely connected runs, as, through freight traffic to the Canadian Yukon amounted to practically nothing and passengers were few. On the other hand the Amer- ican vessels running north from the Sound had the freight and passenger trade of the Alaskan coast ports to fall back upon during the off season and that traffic has been sufficlently great to pay for the operatjon of the various vessels. From Vancouver Canadian steamers have been forced to go right through to Skag- way without a call, During thé winter and when Yukon Riyer navigation is opening and closing there is nothing in the route for Canadian vessels, but now, with the aid of the Government, a regular and permanent service is assured to the Canadian citles. The granting of the subsidy is on con- dition that the Canadian Pacific Railroad build a new vessel to take the place of the Islander, to be the largest and best fitted in the northern service. Three steamships Wwill operate from Vancouver the year round. The construction of the vessel, which will arrive on this coast in time to take up the northern run next season, will be commenced at once, and as she js subsidized by the ' Dominion Guvde.mment she will be bullt in Scottish yards, MRS R .

PHOENIX, Ariz., May 1.—Fire started at 12 o'clock this (Thursday) morning in the store of Ross, the tailor, and at 2 o'clock is still raging, though being trought under control. No accurate esti- mate of the damage can be made at this time, but it will amount to many thou- sands of dollars. The - toreroom and stock of E. A. Ross are a total loss; 8. Vanderberg’s jewelry store is ruined; Buxton & Co.’s loss is partial, may be total; Nicholson's tailor shop destroyed, but much of the stoek re- moved; R. Doll's saloon probably will go, together with S. Griswold’s bicycle store, Dobb's delivery and Rice’s barber shop. A meat market and one or two smaller establishments complete the list. These will be all of the losers, unless the fire breaks over the line of brick bulldlnfll. No insurance estimate can be made till morning. So far as known there ‘was no loss of life. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS REUNION IN LOS GATOS LOS GATOS, April 30.—Arrangements are now complete for the Knights of Pythias reunifon to be held here to-mor- row. This affair is under the auspices of & committee from the varlous lodges of Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. An excursion over the broad-gauge railway Wwill be run from San Francisco by the 1902 committee, while a narrow-gauge train has been provided by the Alameda County committee to accommodate those from the east side of the bay. Immediately upon their arrival in Los Gatos a parade will be formed, in_con- Junction “with "the floral parade of the Board of Trade. After luncheon the ad- dress of the day will be delivered by Hon. D. C. Clark, the newly electéd Mayor of Santa Cruz, who is prominent in Pythian circles, There will be a competitive drill by companies of the Uniform Rank for cash prizes donated by citizens of Los Gatos. Companies from Santa Cruz, San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland and Berke- ley will compete. In connection with the sinhlln Jubilee the local Board of Trade 11 hold a floral festival and parade.

WAR CLOUD LOOMS TUP. In view of the fact that there are sev- eral presidential candidates in the fleld, the suggestion that certain members of the nominating committee may be de- barred for having been chosen iilegally is creating discussion among the women. The thought that a question of legality n:ight come up in this regard had not oc- curred to most of those who are here to represent the various States, and the lo- cal club women have given the subject littlé attention. Arrangements had béen made by certain of the delegates to hold their meetings for choosing members of the nominating committee before the opening of the convention and it is be- lleved that this has been done in one or two instances.
