The person who thinks he cannot get along without his morning drink of coffee is pretty hard to convince unless he is treat- ed lfke Mrs. Clara Hoffman of Portland. Or., treated her landlady’s son. She says: “Having suffered with stomach trouble for several years I determined to discon- tinue the use of coffee and try Postum Food Coffee. *I carefully followed directions for mak- ing and the result was a beverage very pleasing to the taste. I induced my hus- band to give it a trial and soon noticed the improvement. “He complained of ‘heart trouble,’ but as he drank coffee I felt sure that this was the cause. It proved to be so, for after having used Postum for a short time his ‘heart trouble’ completely disap- peared. “Last year we went East and while there boarded with a private family. Our 1andlady complained of sleeplessness and her son of obstinate stomach trouble. It was a plain case of coffee poisonihg in both. Knowing what Postum had done for me I advised a trial, but the son de- clared he wanted none of that ‘weak, wa- tery stuff.” Well, I had been making Pos- tum Coffee for myself and husband and next morning I offered him a cup and he drank it, not knowing what it was. ‘Well," 1 said, ‘you seem to like Postum after all’ “What,’ he exclaimed, ‘that was not Postum; why, that tasted fine. Mother, if you learn to make it like this I will ways drink it” The next morning she watched me and I explained the impor- tance of allowing it to boil long enough. After that we all drank it regularly and our landlady and her son soon began to get well.

CLASS INITIATION NOW ALL THE RAGE Native Sens, Companions of Forest and Knights of Honor Work- ing Along That Line. The Native Sons of the Golden West had another meeting last night in con- nection with the proposed large clags in- itiation for the 31st of October in I\atlve! Sons' Hall. The committee on plan of organization presented a report on lines | of the one outlined at the previous meet- | ing, which was adopted. This calls for the members to secure 20 per cent of ghe present membership of each parlor, which | will produce about a thousand candidates. The statement was made that there are more than twenty-four thousand eligibles in this city. The Grand Parlor will pre- sent to the parlor that will bring in the reatest number of strangers, in propor- ion to its membership, a beautiful tro- phy. The general committee will appoint an executive committee of seven to carry out the details and after September 10 the | chairman of the general committee will appoint visiting committees to wake up the parlors and educate them along the line of working for the large class in- ation. "El'her was a meeting last night in the Alcazdr building of representatives from 2ll of the local circles of the Companions of the Forest for the purpose of taking the preliminary steps to have a great class Initiation at a time to be fixed at the next meeting. An organization was effected by the election of permanent of- ficers, with Grand Chief Companion Mrs, H. Worms as president, Mrs. Meyer of | Inter Nos Circle and Mrs. Michelson of | Live Oak Circle as vice presidents, Miss Mamie Schoen of Robin Hood Circle sec- retary and Mrs. M. Smith of Excelsior Circle treasurer. The members of the executive council were made honorary members, as were also Grand Secretary Cordy of the Foresters of America, Jacob Label of the American Forester Review and members of Inter Nos Circle. After the work had been generally outlined Mrs. Zeissing of New Century Circle, Mrs. Baston of one of the circles in South San Francisco and one of the honorary mem- bers were named as a committee to report a plan of organization that will be pre- sented at the next meeting, to be held on September 26 The Knights of Honor held a mass- meeting last night in Champion Hall, Sixteenth and Valencla streets, in connection with the large class initiation which that order has been working on for several weeks and which is to be held on October 15. The hall was crowded and the matter in hand was fully explained by Thomas Larned, chairman of the gen- eral committee that has charge of the work, Grand Dictator Archibald, Supreme Representatives Ben 1. Salomon and M. L. Crowe and a number of others. Be- tween speeches there were numbers for the entertainment of the many who were there and then a collation was served, to- gether with smoking material.

Battleship Oregon Is Soon to Sail for Asiatic Waters. SEATTLE, Aug. 2).—The battleship ‘Wisconsin weighed anchor to-day and went to the Puget Sound navy-yard to take on coal, preparatory to sailing for Port Angeles. She probably will be at the navy-yard a week or ten days. At Port Angeles, two weeks will be spent in marine drilling and target practice. After leaving Port Angeles the Wiscon- will proceed to San Francisco. From that port the naval reserve will be tak- en for a two weeks' voyage along the coast and to the various points of in- terest. More drilling and target practice will be the rule while the reserve is aboard the vessel. It 1s expected the vattleship will then jein the Asfatic squadron. The cruiser Boston will remain at the navy yard and undergo a general over- hauling and renovation for the next two weeks. She will then return to San Fran- cisco, where orders are expected directing her to go to Panama and protect Ameri- can interests during the trouble develop- ing on account of the tactics pursued by the Colombian revolutionists. The battleship Oregon is expected to sail for Chinese waters in about two weeks. She recently came off the drydock and is said to be in splendid trim. The cruiser Philadelphia is to go out of commission and will undergo general re- pairs at the navy yard. It is deemed probable that she will be fitted out with | a new battery. ARGUES AEAINST SENDING CHINESE London Times Opposes the Admission of Coolie Labor. LONDON, Aug. 30.—The Times, in a further article and editorial this morn- ing on Chinese immigration as affecting the future of Australia and South Africa, argues against the admission of Chinese labor into these countries, on the ground that where the Chinaman is introduced into countries inhabited by indolent and feeble races like the Filipinos he becomes an important factor in- their prosperity, but where he comes among the white population his tendency is to degrade the lowest classes of the white community to his own level and to lower wages by reducing the standard of comfort. The Times for the while admitting, with the Daily Telegraph, the seriousness of the Kaffir problem in South Africa, is of the opinion that, once the artificial condi- tions caused by the war and which sup- plied the Kafiir with an abundance of money are removed, he will be willing to work again to satisfy his desires and thus the temporary labor _difficulty will be solved, while the introduction of Chinese labor would only complicate the problem by further demoralizing the Kaffir. ALAMEDA TO MEASURE STRENGTH WITH PACIFIO Last Meeting of the Cricket Season Between Champions of Last Year and Pennant Winners of 1902. The last match of the season between the Pacific and Alameda teams will be played to-morrow on the grounds at ‘Webster street, Alameda. The Pacific team will be made up of H. C. Casidy, captain; C. P. Coles, A. W. ‘Wilding, F. Bennion, T. W. Tetley, E. H. M. Lannowe, V. P. Sollom, D. Jamieson, W. Jamieson, G. S. McCallum and R. ‘Willlamson. Several of the best cricketers of the Alameda club are away, but the team will be chosen from the following: G. H. Ward, captain; Arthur Dickenson, A. E. Chivrs, C. Banner, F. J. Crool, B. Bird, W. H. McNaughton, W. B. R. Rooker, F. Stahl, V, Seebeck, W. G. Fortmann, A. S. Willis, H. W. Brown, W. H. Richter and Henry Ward Sr. As the pennant for 1902 has been already won by the Pacific Club, interest in the last meeting of the year between the old- time rivals for supremacy, the Pacific and the Alameda teams, is at a rather low ebb. Had the Alameda eleven won its match on- August 3, against the Paclfic eleven, the Alameda players would have made a strong effort to add _arother victory to their list to-morrow. But as it is there may even be some difficulty in getting a team together to face the champlons of 1902, though they will be ]Wilhout the invaluable services of Kort- ang. The Lakeport Cricket Club of Lake County has sent a communication to the secretary of the California Cricket As- sociation, stating that it will not be pos- sible to get together a team at Lakeport this year to play against an eleven of visiting cricketers from San Francisco. The Burns Valley Club, assisted by some Lakeport cricketers, will play two days against the visitors. As it will not be necessary to stay first at Lakeport and then cross Clear Lake to Burns Valley, the cricketers can proceed direct from Calistoga to the lower end ¢f Lake County, where they will be the guests for two days of the hospitable dwellers of Burns Valley. There has not been any cricket in Lake County during the present season, and the Burns Valley team is weak and out of practice. Still, believing a poor game to be better than none, they will welcome the visitors from San Francisco with all the cordiality for which e County cricketers are famous. The San Francisco teum will leave the city on September 6, play in Burns Valley S{ptemhsr 7 and 8, and return to this city on Admission Day. H. V.

TSARSKOE SELO, Aug. 20.—With full state ceremonial the marriage of the Grand Duchess Helene, only daughter of Grand Duke Vladimir and the Grand | Duchess Marie Pavlovna, cousin of the Russian Emperor, to Prince Nicholas of Greece, was celebrated at 4:30 o’clock this afternoon at the orthodox church of the imperial palace here. f The grand procession of carriages ap- peared\ like a long line of living gold as it made its way up the avenue which leads to the grand entrance, where was assembled a brillilant throng of troops of the Imperial Guard, the bodyguard of the Emperor and Empress, Cossacks, Dra- goons, Hussars and fe Guards. The bride looked lovely, with the masses of her dark hair surmounted by a diadem of diamonds and the small crown of a Grand Duchess. The bridegroom wore the uniform of a lieutenant colonel of the Neva Infantry Regiment, with high boots, full trousers, belt and aiguilettes. ‘When the church service was completed —it lasted only half an hour—the members of the imperial family returned to the palace. After an hour’s rest a banquet was given in the banqueting hall of the palace and was specially notable as be- ing one of the solemn occasions on which all grand officials of the court waited upon the members of the imperial family. Prince Nicholas is the third son of Kin, George _of Greece. He was born in 1872. Grand Duchess Helene was born in 1882. BASTERN BASEBALL GAMES. Results of Notable Playing on Some of the Diamonds.

From the fifteenth round until the close Perry’'s face looked like a piece of beef- steak, well chopped.

After passing an uncomfortable day on the witness stand, during which time she frequently interrupted the proceedings with tears, Mrs. Anna Commins was to- |WOTTOW will say: The consolidation of the day granted $25 per month alimony and | 800 small coal yards in Chicago is contem- $10 counsel fees by Judge Greene pend- ing the hearing of her suit for divorce against her husband, John F. Commins, a San Francisco real estate dealer. Before Judge Greene granted Mrs. Com- mins alimony he directed that the an- swer and cross-complaint of her husband, which names Dr. J. F. Lilley, Archie E. Miles and Walter Agnew as corespond- ents, should be read aloud in the open court., Several letters alleged to have been written by Mrs. Commins to her men acquaintances were also read. In the answer the husband denies he is worth $30,000, and estimates wealth in the neighborhood of $2500. also denies that he ever struck his wife with his fist, but admits that on one occasion, while she was taunting him with her ability to win the affections of other men, that he did slap her lightly, but immediately apologized. To the charge that he had told his wife that she was dead to him, he says that he never treated her other than with the utmost courtesy, and that whatever cold- ness he had manifested toward her was due to her actions. WIFE REMAINED OUT LATE. In reply to the accusation that he had stolen their two children, the answer co tains ten compactly written pages, set- ting forth reasons why the wife should not have the care of the children. In this portion of his answer Commins says that his wife was out late nearly every night, and when she returned she inva- riably told him it was none of his busi- ness where she had been. The children, the husband said, had never received the care of a mother. At this juncture in the reading of the answer Judge Greene interrupted the proceedings by demanding to know where the children were. Before Commins could reply, his Honor directed the reading of the answer to continue, saying, “From the testimony offered in this court and from the lips of the plaintift it is evi- dent that she is not a proper person to have charge of the children.” Mrs. Commins tearfully protested that she loved her children dearly. When the cross-complaint of the hus- band was read two score of allegations were made against the wife for a perfod covering two years. Mrs. Commins’ name was linked with those of the corespond- ents in an undesirable way. % Love letters to ““Archie” and ‘“Walter” were read. When Judge Greene ques- tioned Mrs. Commins whether she was | guilty of writing the letters, Mrs. Com- mins, through her tears, sald she had only written the letters to make her hus- band jealous. SHE LOVES ANOTHER. Portions of the letters were as follows: My darling Archie: I love you as I never loved before. * * * I love you, my love, 2nd will-speed the moment when we shall be fogether again. ~Lovingly yours, ANNA. Another letter begins: My dear Walter: It is a long time since sam you. You remember that when we jast met I told you that I had ceased to love you, but the old song goes, there's no love like old Jove. Bo instead of breaking our engagement for Friday night, I will bring our meeting one day nearer by making the engagement for Thursday evening. In granting the motion for alimon; Judge Greenme reprimanded the wife h the following language: The complaining Witness has condemned her- selt out of her own mouth. No matter what the conduct of the husband has been, her own testimony would be sufficlent to prevent her from obtaining a divorce. Whether or not the husband is entitled to a divorce remains to be seen. As the husband has signified his willing- to pay his wite per month, it Ordered by the court. - The trial of the case will be set for a later date. ———— Runaway in the Park, James Devlin, a resident of Y.os An- geles, who has apartments at 1609 Baker street, while driving a spirited colt in Golden Gate Park yesterday forenoon met with an accident which brought him un- ger the treatment of Dr. Maher at the Park Emergency Hospital.
