Wallace, a real es!alei dealer at 916 Market street, with having treated her in a manner that has caused her great mental suffering. Mrs. Wal-| lace alleges in her complaint{ that her | husband has cursed and abused her in a | manner that has caused her intense suf- fering and made her short career as a matron one of misery. Mrs. Wallace claims that she is a wom- an of refined nature and so sensitive that | her husband’s alleged conduct has wrecked her nervous system and made | her feel that to longer live with him will | endanger her life. She left her husband | a little more than two weeks ago and is now residing with her sister at 221 Four- teenth street. The wedding of the Wal- laces occurred October 4, 1%2. D. W. Burchard is her attorney. MRS. PALMER ALSO TIRED. Katherine Palmer is another newly made wife who has appealed to the court for relief from bonds that have proved | anything but pleasant. She was married to Albert J. Palmer on August 21 last, and yesterday she filed & suit for divorce, charging him with crueity. According to her complaint he commenced mistreating ber two weeks after their marriage. She alleges that two weeks after they were | married Palmer commenced cursing her | and using language toward her that caused her great humiliation and mental flering. After Wwo days of peace Mrs. Raphaella Keener, wife of Edward Kirby Keener, a | salesman for Pierce & Co., has made up | her mind that she still desires to live without the company of Keener, to whom she was married at Jacksonville, Fla., in February, 1900. She filed a suit for divorce vesterday, in which she practically re- | peats the charges of cruelty she made against Keener in her cross-complaint to the suit for divorce brought by Keener several months ago. A dismisal of the | action brought by Keener was filed | Wednesday, and it was said that the ccuple settled their differences. That they | did not do so is evidenced by Mrs. Keen- er's complaint of yesterday. i According to her allegations she and her husband have had a merry time of it ever since they went to Los Angeles a short time after their marriage. She charges that at the City of Angels, at the Hotel Gladstone, Keener choked her, and that he repeated the performance after thejr return to this city while they were stop- ping at the Hotel Wentworth.

Austin was assisted at this table by the members of the auxiliary, of which she is president. The artistic fortune-telling booths at- tracted much interest, and the Egyptian Haija sisters mystified and pleased their hearers. s The candy booth was arranged beneath a large umbrella, with decorations chiefly carried out in pink. The most tempting of sweets were offered here. The doll table was a pretty sight with dolls. Wee trained nurses, Filipino and Japanese belles and dainty Parisian buds, completely dressed from thelr lace and ribbon trimmed lingerie to their modish hats, were there.

Explain Intention to Acquire ‘and Extend the Geary- Street Railway. The Supervisors’ Joint Committee on Public Utllitles and Charter Amendments issued a statement yesterday concerning ths proposed acquisition of the Geary- street road and the eight charter amend- | ments which are to:be submitted to a vote of the people next month at two spe- | cial elections. The statement is in part as followg: The Board of Supervisors has thus far with- | held the granting of franchises for street rail- | road purposes by reason of the contemplated | action on its part to operate a municipal rail- | way on Geary street, and has refrained from providing extensions to cross-town roads for | the reason that it did not deem it fair to enter into competition with existing lines, and fur- | thermore, considering it advisable to awalit the resuit to be obtairied by the operation of the Pproposed municipal railway, which, if success- 1ully and profitably operated, to make ext: sions upon the uncccupied streets In such dis- tricts where additional railroad facilities are desired by the people; ultimately, upon the ex- piration of the franchises now held by other railroads to succeed to their operation and ac- | quire control of the entire transportation sys- tem of the city and county of San Francisco. It is also proposed, as soon as the right of the city to use its own streets is judicially de- termined, to extend the proposed munictpal rallrgad down Market street from Geary to ' the ferry, and to initiate proceedings toward the acquisition, construction and operation thereof. Furthermore, when < the municipal operation of the street railroads shall have | been determined to have been successful, it is | probable that extensions to the system will be | made until all portions of the city are abun- | dantly supplied with transportation facilities. In the event of its being desirable at any time for the municipality to surrender the | actual operation of the system, the charter per- | mits the leasing of any public utility. This can ' be done should it be demonstrated that munici- pal operation Is more costly than is private | operation, or that the service is less satisfac- | tory than would be rendered by a private citi- zen or corporation. | As the present system pays Interest on a | capitalization of $1,000,000, it is safe to pre- | dict that the revenue derived from leasing will | more than repay the interest on the bonded | ldebl, together with the installments of prin- | when the prin- cipal has been paid the net revenue to the city would reach a large sum annually. amtenl i Claims the Contract Is Illegal. The Supervisors’ Judiclary and Health | Committee yesterday considered the pe- | tition of J. H. Bloom for a franchise to | remove the bodies of dead animals from | the streets. A representative of the Sani- | tary Reduction Works stated that the | franchise had been granted to that cor- | poratioq by the Supervisors in 18%6. C.| Alpers at that time held and still holds a tranchise which does not expire until next month. Bloom claims the franchise granted the reduction works is illegal. | The committee asked the City Attorney for an opinion on this point. e To Regulate Elevator Operators. The Supervisors’ Joint Committee on | Judiciary and Fire yesterday considered a proposed ordinance requiring elevator | operators to have seven days’ experience. The committee delegated A. J. McNicoll to have an amended bill prepared mak- | ing a reasonable distinction between ! freight and passenger elevators. An-/| other ordinace providing for the inspec- | tion of elevators by the city will also be drafted. GIVES INFORMATION ABOUT CITRUS FRUIT Professor Wickson Tells of the Value of the Indusfry in California. The California State Floral Soclety met | yesterday to discuss the forthcdming cit- fus exhibition and other matters of im- portance to the organization. Professor Emory E. Smith, the presi- | dent, occupied the chair arid Professor E. | J. Wickson of the University of Califor- | nia read a paper on “Citrus Fruits.” He said that the territory wherein the orange grows in California was as great as the aistance between Florida and New York. | Professor Wickson told his audience that no less than 25,000 carloads of oranges went out of Caiifornia last year and the industry was worth to the State ! that year $7,500,000. This year, he said, 19.000 carloads had left California, and while less than in the previous year the prices had been much higher, owing to the crop not being quite so plentiful. Pro- | fessor Wickson explained that the Yrans<i portation of citrus fruit took half the profits and gave other information which ‘ will be of practical use to those contem- plating investing in the orange industry. | For instance he told that fast year's cit- | rus returns showed that seventy-five car- | loads of paper were used in the wrapping | of citrus fruits for the market. | | Yesterday was the fourteenth anniver- i sary of the society and Mrs. L. O. Hodg- | kins, first vice president and who is| called the ‘“‘mother” of the organization, was called upon to make a few remarks on the occasion. ———— IRISH LANDLORD ARRIVES | AT THE PALACE HOTEL H. C. White, an extensive landowner of Queens County and magistrate of Queens, Kings and Tipperary counue!.‘ Ireland, is at the Palace. In an inter-| view yesterday he said that lndustnali | i | and commercial interests in Ireland could not flourish until new land laws had been enacted. He thinks that the Irish land- lords did not act wisely in refusing to ! meet the tenants in a conference and lis- tening to their grievances. He says that the actions of the United Irish Land | League in collecting money in this coun- | try for evicted tenants is uncalled for, and that the evicted tenants are few and | are able to be taken care of by the peo- ORI T R O’Brien’s Examination Deferred. | The examination of John Lawrence O'Brien, charged with embezzlement by | the Grand Jury of Washington, D. C., was taken up yesterday afternoon by United States Court Commissioner Hea- cock. The Government was represented by Assistant United States Attorney E. J. Banning, who introduced: a certified copy of the Indictment. R. P. Troy, on behalf of the defendant, objected to the indictment on the ground that it was im- proper in form and that it was not suf- ficigntly explicit. The hearing will be re- sumed on Monday at 1:30 p. m. GRAIN THE PURE Even children drink Grain-O because they like it and the doc- tors say it is good for them. Why GRAIN COFFEE | it SCOTTIS EMULSION. HOW THE BODY BREATHES. There is a homely old say- ing that nobody ever dies except for want of breath. There is more truth in this than most people know. Breathing means more than is generally imagined. | The lungs are not the only organs with which we breathe. The whole body breathes. This is not a figure of speech. It is an actual fact. What the lungs do. when they breathe is to take in oxygen and give out carbofi dioxide, and the same process goes on all over the body all the time in the little cells that make up the nerve-centers, tissues and blood. This is called internal respiration. It isthe chief process in the work of tearing down used-up tissue and allowing new ma- terial to be built in its place. ! If we could understand this process entirely we would' understand life, but we can only study it through its effects. We know that Scott’s Emulsion helps this process of cell and tissue-repairing to | go on very rapidly. We know it very speedily produces goed blood and healthy flesh, but we can only partly explain why. . The emulsion contains ele- ments which are very sensi- | tive to oxygen, and the inmost life cells are always hungry for oxygen. Perhaps the emulsion helps them to get That is how a great chemist accounts for it. Scott’s Emulsion is rich in carbon,and carbon is particu- larly needed in sustaining the energy which shows itself in heat ‘and various forms of both mental and muscular activity. It containsanabund- ance of other properties which we know are specially de- manded by the system in| conditions of poor health! But no theory will entirely account for the beneficial ef- | fects of Scott’s Emulsion, just as no theory will quite explain the curative effects of sun- shine. i This emulsion combines the full strength of the whole cod liver oil, perfectly emul- sified with the highly medici- nal properties of hypophos- phites of lime and soda. This combination not only makes the oil easy to take and easy todigest, but greatly increases its natural value. Scott’s {Emulsion is beyond doubt jricher than any other known lfood or preparation in the, inourishing properties needed when the blood is poor or the system run down. iy Each package of Scott’s Emulsion bears the trade mark label of a man carrying a big fish on his back.
