Sutro, filed an answer to complaint’ yesterday, in which he denies t an unfaithful hus- band a cross-complaint he asks that le be granted a divorce on the ground of desertion, alieging that Mrs. Sutro de- serted him more than a year ago. Sutro wife’s demand for ali- mony is unjust, a§ he claims in 1897 he turned over his interest in his father's estate to her under condition that she re- sign all claim upon him. The income from his wife In this interest, he alleges, amounts to $233 month, ‘which is’ divided equally be- tween them. Anna Matson was granted a divorce from terda Andrew P.

The November edition of the Merohants' Association Review, published yesterday, contains discussions of many matters of interest to those who desire municipal im- provements. The negligence of public of- cials in allowing bootblack stands to unlawfully occupy a4 part of the side-! walk on many of the city's principal streets is strongly condemned. It is said t | that men in that line of business should be compelled to observe the ordinances as : well as the merchants. W. H. Hutton contributes an admirable article on children’s playgrounds. The workings of the compulsory arbi- tration scheme as practiced in New Zea- land are explained by E. Nevill, who recominends that the people of this coun- try try to solve the labor-capital fight in a simiiar manner. It is stated that the association will op- pose the proposed charter amendment which permits the operation of two or more street car lines on the same thor- oughfarc. . The bill which provides for unlimited extensions of time on strect work contracts is also condemned. The municipal street sprinkling bill and the sidewalk ordinance are favored.

This is ac- counted for principally by three reasons: First, just and humane treatment of the Indians apd the judicious management of their affairs; second, their gradual transi- tion from a condition of barbarism to that of semi-civilized people, and third, the close proximity of the military garrisons, which are always. available in case of threatened disturbances. SKILL AND HEROISM. “The experience during the great Civil War and years of campaigning along our Western frontier afforded the best schools of practice for our army in former years.

He ipdorses the recommendation of General Brooke for a readjustment of the geo- graphical limits of the different depart- ments with a view of equalizing condi- | tlons. General Miles calls attention to the necessity of quarters for troops, say- ing that while hundreds of thousands of | dollars are being spent for quarters for cavalry very little is being used to af- | ford shelter for artillery, which is ex- | posed to severe climates along the coasts. | ‘*“These troops,’. says ~General Miles, ‘“‘are required to be located adjacent to the fortifications, notwithstanding the ex- | posed position of many of them, and I | see no reason why buildings should not ! be properly constructed in time to be oc- | cupied, when it is known for years exact- WOMAN’S AUXILIARY GIVES UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT Every Nation Is Represented at the Young Men’s Christian Asso- ciation Building.

Bald- win in Mindanao, P. I., with the Moros. For the number of men engaged this was a very spirited and degperate engagement. Our forecs were commapded by one of the most experienced and efficient of the army, whose record has always been of the highest order, and his achievement, together with that of the troops in this engagement, made another ~chapter of fortitude, tenacity and heroic sacrifice in the history of American arms. having been missing since a week ago last Saturday.

Mr. Van Norden was a well known business man here years ago, but lately he had led a retired life. He was born in Nova Scotia and came to California in 1850. He first engaged in mining and later went into business in Sacramento.

During that time many changes have occurred and the army has been very largely increased. The long and varied service of the senfor oflicers, their experience in organizing, in. disciplining, in instructing and leading their commands, as well as the excellent discipline, instruction and exemplary con- duct of the soldiers of the army of '98, have been the leaven of the army of the present time. Evils may creep into any system of great organization. Such as have affected our army have been or will be eradicated.” .W'XMWWWW. Dimmick Case Set for Trial. George D.

Nearly every one will admit that as a natton we eat too much meat and too lit- ! tle of vegetables and grains. For business men, office men and clerks and in fact every one engaged in seden- tary or indoor occupations,’ grains, milk and vegetables are’ much more healthful. Only men engaged-in a severe vutdoor manual labor can live on a heavy meat diet and continue in health. As a general rule, meat once a day is sufficient for all ‘classes of men,. women and children, ‘and grains, fruit and vege- tables should constitute the bulk-of food eaten. But many of the most nutritious. foods are difficult of digestion and it is of no use to advise brain werkers to eat largely of grains and vegetables where the diges- tion is too weak to assimilate them prop- erly. Iz is always best to get the best resuits from our food that some simple and barmless digestive should be taken after meals to assist the relaxed digestive or- and several years' experience have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia. Tablets to be a very safe, pleasant and effective diges- tive and a remédy which may be taken daily with the best resbits. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly be called a patent medicine, as they do not aet on the bowels nor any particular crgan, but only on the food eaten. They supply what weak stomachs lack, pep- sin diastase, and by stimulating the. gas- trie glands increase the natural secretion of hydrochloric acid. People” who “make "a daily practice of tzking one or two of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal are sure to have perfect digestion, which means perfect health. There is no danger of forming an inju- rious habit, as the tablets contain abso- Iutely nothing but natural digestives; co- czine, morphine and similar drugs have no place in a stomach medicine and Stu- art’s Dyspepsia Tablets are certainly the best known and most popular of all stom- ach remedies.
