People often attribute their ill health to some iscretion in eating, and change diet In the hope of recovering their wont- | ed good health; finding no change for the | better in their condition, they are at a | loss for the cause, never for a moment thinking that the cup of coffee which they take in the morning is the true from whence all their flls have source come. A lady in Philadelphia had her attention called to the pernicious working of coffee | on the system by reading a little book on “How to Live.” She says,—“It was truly an eye-opener to me. All the many symp- toms of the nervous stage under which I had been laboring so long, were here di- rectly traceable to coffee-drinking. Espe- cially was it shown to be responsible for e complete ‘break-down’ of my nervous system, which I had aseribed to many different causes, and which had become so great that my hands shook like that of | & toper whenever I carried things to my mouth or reached out to grasp anything. I found myself subject to frequent spells of despondency and gloom, a feeling of emptiness, with constant sour eructations, Now, like every slave to an inordinate appetite, I was loath to believe that my favorite morning and mid-day beverage was the true cause of all this ‘nervous wretchedness. Having noticed the advertisements of Postum Food Coffee, I determined to test it, and purchased a package and had some prepared carefully as directed. I enjoyed my first cup immensely, and Postum has cen my favorite drink ever since, and that is & year and a hailf ago. I had barc- ly used it a week when I realized a gen- er: ‘tone-up’ of my system. First, my appetite improved; next, I had no feeling of depression for days together, and a sensation of comfort especially of my stomach was noticeable. After a month, 1 was aware that my hands no longer trembled, my nerves were improved, and this improvement continued until I en- tirely recovered my health. pr among friends and others, I at once urge the abandonment of coffeé 85 a beverage and the use of Postum in its stead, and I have yet to learn of & single case In which it fafled of its effects.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich, HOTME RECEPTION FOLLOWS A QUIET CHURCH WEDDIN William Hammond Jr. Baseball Team, Is Married , Formerly Catcher for the Oakland to Miss Annie Guy by Rev.

J. B. McNALLY JR. - — - AKLAND, Sept. 30. — William Hammond Jr., formerly catcher for the Oakland baseball team, and Miss Annie Guy were mar- ried this evening in St. Patrick’s Church in this city. None but the imme- diate relatives and a few intimate friends of the young couple witnessed the wed- | ding ceremony, which was performed by the Rev. J. B. McNally Jr. Miss Julla Hammond, a sister of the groom, was maid of honor and William J. Rogers, a | brother-in-law, was best man. After the | marriage a reception was held at the resi- dence of the bride’s father, Willlam Guy, at 81 Union street, Alameda. Later the | newly wedded pair departed for San Jose and other southern parts, where they will spend their honeymoon. Hammond during his short but brilllant career on the diamond made hosts of friends in all the larger cities on the Pa- cific Coast.

It seemed as if I had a sudden bursting in my brain and gave way to a fainting spell. I have been subject to them.” In a few moments she would impress them with her suicidal tendency by say- ing: “When I left home this morning I was sick and despondent and tired of life. I wanted to die. But the ferry-boat came over so quickly I did not have a chance to throw myself overboard.” RELATIVES ARE NOTIFIED. As soon as the hospital attendants could learn the identity of their patient a tele- gram was sent to the address in San Francisco. This afternoonm Emil T. Lampe, a brother of the young woman, went to the hospital and the morgue to learn what had befallen his sister. Lampe's statements shrouded the case in | mystery so far as an explanation for the horrible death was concerned. “My sister left home this morning in excellent spirits,” he said. *“‘She was in good health, so far as I know, and was certainly not of & suicidal turn of mind. I cannot find any explanation for this awful affair. It seems to me as if she must have fainted while crossing the rail- road tracks.” The brother was mystified as to his sis- ter’s presence in Oakland. He knew of no reason why she should cross the bay, and in this, Miss Lampe, during one of her lucid moments, bore out the absence of a reason. She said she did not go to Oak- 1and on any special errand. She was not visiting there, and then she lapsed into a semi-consclous state again. Miss Lampe was a native of Nevada City. She resided with her brother and a widowed mother, Mrs. Ella C. Lampe. Her father dled several years ago. The brother took charge of the funcral ar- rangements, ordering an undertaker from San Francisco. Coroner Mehrmann has set the inquest for to-morrow night at 7:30 o'clock.

NEW GUIANA TRIBESMEN FIGHT AND MASSACRE Headhunters After Destroying a Vil- lage Are Themselves Am- bushed and Routed. VICTORIA, B. C., Sept. 30.—Shortly be- fore the steamship Moana left Sydney, official dispatches arrived from New Gui- ana telling of intertribal fights and massacres. The Tugerl (headhunters) had attacked the San Ana villages, killed a large number of natives and carried off many heads. The San Ana afterward at- tacked the Tugerl. Sir F. P. Winter, ad- ministrator of New Guiana, telegraphed the Governor General of Australia as fol- lows: Proceeding_down the Morehead after the raid on the San Ana villages, the Tuger! were encountered by a large hunting party of our natives, among whom were some San Ana men. This party at once attacked the Tu- geri, killing several of them, and forced them to abandon their cances and take to flight in the bush. On my arrival here from Australin 1 at cnce empowered J. 1. Carr to communicate @irect wit the Dutch authorities at Moluke respecting the Tugerl, and our police and Dutch soldiers will form a puntive expedition. ‘With regard to the alleged ruthless mas- sacres by the Tugeri, Sir Francis Winter writes: Since my arrival in this possession mare natives have been ruthlessly massacred by other natives within a radius of thirty miles from the house in which I am now writing than have during euch period been killed in this possession by the Tugerl. A village on the Larcki River, distant about six hours’ walk from this house, was nearly exterminated. Nevada County Hills Ablaze. NEVADA CITY, Sept. 30.—Forest fires have been burning in the hills around Ne- vada City for the past two days. One in the vicinity of the big tunnel started on Sunday, and men who have been close to the fire says that it could not be checked with the aid of a thousand men. Dense smoke has been hanging over this city, and for a time yesterday afternoon the sun was obscured. Large tracts of tim- ber have been destroyed. ger Locomotives and Itself, AT AGAINST CHEWING OF GUT1 CASTS GLOOI O’ER THE CO-EDS Edict Bearing on Maxillary Exercise and Wearing of Sweaters in Class Room Is Issued by Professor Babcock of the State University, and Consternation Fills the Students at Berkeley Exciting Scene For Travelers : at Railroad Station at Niles, g Oakland Office San Franclisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 0. Three engines wrecked, three engineers hurt, a dozen people with split lips and shattered nerves—that tells the result of a tried and trusted trainnfan’s momen- tary aberration this morning at Niles. The tragedy was enacted in full view of fifty people, who waited in the sta- tion at Niles, among them the return- ing campalgners of the Republican county ticket. While they looked one huge iron monster ran smack into an- other of its species, recoiled from the impact and intercepted and wrecked still another locomotive and wound up. its mad career by bounding to its own de- struction. Engineers and firemen were hurled from thelr seats in the engine cabs, as they gazed helplessly on the specta- cle, and passengers with bruised faces and wildly excited poured from a train of | cars, fearful of more direful results to come. It was Greek meeting Greek on a straight track and the spectators say that it was the most thrilling scene of their lives. WARD TAKES A CHANCE. It was four minutes past 7 when the first collision occurred. Engineer Raymond K. Ward, in charge of the gravel train working at Niles, had pulled into the north siding just a little while before that hour with his gravel train behind him. His engine being in need of water, he left the siding and steamed to a water tank on the main line track that goes to Livermore. He figured that he could “water up” and get back to his train before the Livermore local arrived, having heard that it was late. Accord- ing to the rules of the railroad, Engineer Ward should have avoided the local at least ten minutes, but here is where he took a desperate chance. After getting his engine ‘‘watered” En- gineer Ward started back to his train, but he had no more than got under way when right in front of him loomed up the engine of the Livermore local. The road takes a sharp turn at that point, and he could not see its approach. It was too late then to avert the collision; but the engineer did the next best thing—he re- versed the engine in the hope of moder- ating the force of the impact. ‘When the two great masses of iron did come together there followed a terrific crash. Engineer Ward’'s fireman, L. A. Cody, had time to leap from the engine but Ward had not, so that he was hurled across the tender to the ground, escap- ing, however, with merely a few bruises and shattered wits. PASSENGERS INJURED. In charge of the Livermore local engine were Thomas Bradley, an aged man, and J. A. Wilson, the fireman. The approach of the two engines was too rapid to per- mit of escape and Bradley and Wilson were both hurled from thelr seats. Engi- neer Bradley was forced through his cab window and landed a distance of 100 feet from the railroad tracks. Fireman Wil- son escaped with bruises resulting from contact with the ground. Behind these men were four coaches filled with passengers. The unexpected concussion had the effect of forcing their heads and faces against the seats in front of them and many were bruised. Miss Irene Cardoza, a High School girl, whose home is in Sunol, and Mrs. Bessie Miller of Pleasanton were among the most seri- ously hurt, their lips and foreheads be- ing cut. Joseph H. Moffitt, conductor of the train, was cut by the fragments of a broken looking glass. . After being struck the gravel train en- gine, which was little injured, was given a greater impetus toward the direction in which it had been reversed by Engineer ‘Ward and it gained speed with each puff. The throttle was wide open and there was no one to control it. On and on it flew and by the time it reached the station it was going at the rate of forty miles an hour. FIREMAN SAVES ENGINEER. In the meantime, however, the engine of the San Jose local, which had just ar- rived on the south side of the station, had been detached from its train and steamed up the track, where Engineer Getchell and Fireman Wamsley, who were in charge, proposed to cross the main line track to another sidetrack. It reached the main line track just as the runaway engine ar- rived at the spot. Half of the San Jose engine was still on the siding and half had crossed the main line when the crash came. Engineer Getchell's face was turned away from the wild engine and he would have been killed but for the timely act of Fireman Wamsley, who grabbed him by the legs and pulled him out of danger before he knew what had hap- pened. The men did not have time to jump then, but both received only slight bruises. The impact of the two engines threw both off the track. The San Jose engine remained upright, but the other churned up the ground for a hundred feet before it finally gave up the struggle. Both were completely wrecked. Engineer Ward refused to discuss the accident, but some of his admissions in- dicated that he deemed himself to blame. He #aid: “Well, there are eight years' work gone for nothing. I worked hard, and this is the result. I cannot talk until I make a report to the company.” The road was blocked for several hours after the wreck and traffic was diverted over the Martinez route and through Tracy, into the Livermore Valley.

B e e B R R R, ] MANY WRECKS IN S0UTH 3EAS Heavy Loss of Life in a Series of Shipping Disasters. Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., Sept. 30.—The steamer Moana, which reached port this morning, brings a budget of news of Australasian shipping disasters, involving beavy loss of life. The labor schooner Sybil, which left the British Solomons on April 19, for Queensland, was caught in a gale in the Polynesian group and is generally believed to have been lost with 81l on board, for no news of her was ever received and the voyage usually occuples not more than three weeks. She had 100 persons on board. Dr. Brown, a mission- ary, who haes returned io Sydney from the Solomon group, sald: “I think search should be made on the rgefs which are so thickly strewn throughout the Coral Sea. It is quite possible the Sybil may have been wrecked on some of these large reefs. On many of them are small islets cn which a ship- wrecked party might easlly land and subsist for a long time on provisions ob- tained from the wreck, while owing to their boats being d they would be unable to communicate with the Queens- land coast.” Another marine disaster reported is that which befell the schooner Eclipse, in the Solomon group. The Eclipse be- longed to the Sacred Heart Mission and was engaged in inter-island work, She went ashore during a heavy squall and all efforts to get the vessel off proved of no avall. A French priest, Father Roull- lae, who put off to the wreck to st in the salvage work, was lentally drowned. The Eclipse was a schooner of about thirty tons. The steamer Quirang, long overdue, of Burns, Philipp & Co., is now known to have been lost off the Australian coast with all on board. There were twenty officers and men. From Nouema the Moana brought news of the wreck of the steamer Mambare, plying from Sydney to the Southern Pa- cific Islands. Mambare was strand- ed on the morning of August 81, between two rocks near the island of Tu Tu Ba. off the coast of Santo. All hope of saving the steamer was soon abandoned, she being found to be a total wreck. The passengers and crew were saved. The locality is known to be a -bad one, abounding in coral reefs, some complete- ly and others partially submerged, and is known among the mariners visiting the New Hebrides as “The Grave Yard.” The Mambare was an iron vessel of 1218 tons, with a carrying capacity of 2100 tons. i Detalls were received of ihe loss of the G Fri struck on a reef off the coast of New Guinea. There was no l4ss of life, but the crew was forced to leave hurriedly and saved nothing but what they wore. The lost bark was bound from New- castle to Samarange, and had unsettled weather at the outset. She took the outer Torres Straits route, and ran intc thick and squally weather. The wind from the southeast became squally dur- ing the night and the bark crashed on to Panama reef, twelve miles from Panama Island, off New Guinea. The wind, after the bark struck, increased to the force of a gale, and the vessel was soon straining heavily. Boats were lowered and the whole of the crew, comprising the cap- tain, the first and second ofilcers, and fif- teen men, left the vessel. The bark soon capsized to seaward and began to Dreak up. The crew made for the nearest isl- and, where a landing was effected. The natives proved friendly, and put off and piloted the shipwrecked crew safely ashore, also providing rood. There was no salvage to be obtained, and, as the vessel was a hopeless wreck, the crew, in two boats proceeded to Daru Island, ‘where they were picked up by the Ketch ‘Whaup and conveyed to Thursday Island, the trip occupying three days. Trying to Rescue Chinese Slave. MARYSVILLE, Sept. 30. — Chinatown was excited to-day over the arrival of Mrs. A. F. Browne, representing the Pres- byteérian Chinese Mission in San Fran- eisco. Mrs. Browne came to rescue a pretty Chinese girl known as Don Quai, who, she alleges, has been a slave for the past several’ years. With the aid of Of- ficers Becker and Tyrrell, Don Qui was found in Lem Goon’s resort on First street, but under his threatening eye, de- clared she did not want to enter the mis- ston and would not leave Marysville.
