Carrington, ~packer) saye: “Reading a paper one evening. 1 chanced to notice that Dosns Kidney Pills cured backache and other incidentals due to either excited or weakened kidneys. I was subject o pain in the back, always more acute if 1 caught cold or overexerted myself. At the .time I noticed the pdvertisement 1 was actually suffering I think more than usual, and pro- cured a box of the pills at a drug store. The treatment stopped the last attack. Other members of my family bave used Doan’s Kidney Pills and Teceived as undoubted benefit.

WAS A SUICIOE Paterson Business Man Ends His Life in San Jose. Letters in His Room Hint at Shortage in Church Funds, ’ Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Nov. 18.—Jackson Stoll, a merchant of Paterson, N. J.,, committed suicide last night in a lodging-house at 80 East St. James street. His lifeless body ‘was found on the bed this morning, hud- dled over a half-empty bottle of chloro- | form, the phial being grasped between his | hands and knees. Near the body was the following note: Please bury me. I have money in my pocket for all expenses. Write to W. D. Ackerson, Newton, Sussex County, New Jersey. — Stoll was a stranger in San Jose, having been here but a few days. Little is known of him, but from letters found in the room it is believed he was a business man of some prominence in the East. He was about 50 years of age, well dressed and had $250 in greenbacks in his pockets. From letters Stoll had in his possession it appears he was vice president of the W. D. Ackerson Company, Park Block De- partment Stores, of Paterson, N. J. The company is capitalized at $60,000. He had been In regular correspondence with Ack- | erson, and it was evident that he had been traveling a great deal in search of health. Stoll had been in Los Angeles and Ackerson mentioned his ill health and said that he would visit Los Angeles and go home with Stoll if the latter could not make the trip alone. In one of the letters Ackerson said that hé had been investigating the accounts of the church and finds “that they are in awful condition—$1500 in the hole.” This ‘would seem to indicate that Stoll was in some trouble. < Another letter | referred to ‘“Fannie,” living at 1404 Harrison street, Oakland, as a friend of Stoll. OAKLAND, Nov. 18—The “Fannie” re- ferred to in the letter left by Jackson Stoll, the San Jose sulicide, is Mrs. Fannie Barbour, wife of William A. Barbour of | 1404 Harrison street, who recently: arrived from Paterson, N. J., to become the man- ager of the Linen Thread Company at 224 Bush street, in San Francisco.

Barbour declares that Stoll's self-destruc- tion was due to despondency over illness, andnot to any financial difficulties, as his letters suggest. r. Stoll was an old friend of the fam- said Barbour to-night, “and was formerly associated in the merchandise business with my wife's father, Samuel C. Dunne. He acquired some wealth.” Will Soon Be Here.

He is now the senior past master of the State of California and the oldest member of the Grand Lodge. The lodge was peculiarly a mariner’s lodge, as its members were largely drawn from seafaring men, and as one of the “no better class of men were ever members of a lodge, as they have many opportunities to min- ister to the unfortunate, and it is rare that any of them ever forgets the ties that bind him to the fraternity.” The lodge has had thirty-nine masters, seventeen have dled and four withdrawn, and the total membership has been 720. During the time of its existence nearly 500 have severed connection either by death or withdrawal. The affair was directed by the follow- ing committees: Executive—Samuel Andrews Clarke, W.

Fred Bel- asco, at present one of the managers of the Central and Alcazar theaters, was given a ten-year lease, with an option of filve more, on the new theater now in course of comstruction at the cormer of Ninth and Market streets. Belasco purposes to make this playhouse the finest west of New York City, also to stage only the first-class productions of the East and of Europe. The theater is being built by William Ede, a well known capitalist, and it was originally intended to give the lease of it to Alfred Bouvier.

He was attempting to cross in front of the car and apparently lost his footing on the slippery cobbles. His body was dragged ten or twelve feet before the gripman suc- ceeded in stopping the car. ‘When Holje was picked up he was un- conscious and he was taken to a nearby drug store, where temporary relief was given him. From there he was removed to the Mount Zion Hospital, where at a late hour last night it was stated he was still unconscious and no opinion’could be hazarded as to the outcome of his in- Jjuries. He sustained several severe cuts about the head and body and one hand was bad- 1y mangled. He may also be suffering from a fractured skull and internal injuries. The authorities stated that they were so busy with other cases that they had not ‘had time tqQ make an examination of Holje's condlition. John B. Weston, the motorman of the car, was arrested and taken to the City Prison, where he was charged with bat- tery and released on $20 bail. He says that Holje stepped directly in front of the car and was knocked down before there was any opportunity to check the speed. Enjoy Spirited Performance. Mme. Fabbri-Mueller's third subsecrip- tion theatrical performance was given last night at Steinway Hall before a large and thoroughly delighted audience. There were both English and German plays, “The Model Wife” representing the Eng- 1ish school and “Als Verlobte Emphelen Sich” the German. §.
