A ®olid silver service of one hundred *and ninety-nine pieces was received yes terday at the office of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company. Tne present was given by the citizens of Spokane to be used on the steamship Spokane that is in commission on the run between Alaska and this port. A peculiar feature of -tk donation is that no list of subscribe or comumittee was received with the sil- ver. The steamship Spokane is conceded o be one of the handsomest boats in the coast trade. She is 281 feet in length, 40 feet beam and has a speed of 173 miles per hour.. She was bullt by the Union Jron Works of this city and was com- pleted in February of this year. President J. D. Fasrell, to whom the silver was addressed, was delighted with the present and will later formally thank the citizens of Spokane for their hand- some present G. D. ——e Oranasia Has Narrow Escape . The British ship Oranasia had a narrow es- cape yesterday from destruction by firc. The tugs Sea Prince and Monarch were siongside. ready to tow her from Mission-street wharf to Oakiand, when smoke curied up through the after ventilators and the cry of fire star- tied sll hands. Captain Rasmussen, of the Mongrch, got his fire hose ready for action, but Captain Grelg of the Oranasia and his crew managed to extinguish the blaze with- out outside mssistance. It developed upon in- vestigation that the men engaged in discharg- ing the coal cargo had left burnfe a candle, the flame of which had ignited some shifting boards, which were blazing merrily .when the denger was detected. Some damage was done to the #kin of the ship and had the fire started during the night and been allowed to get any better start, it ie doubtful whether she could heve been saved. The Oranssia arrived here December 2 and is loaded with coal. She dis- charged part of her cargo at Mission street and was about to start for Oakland fo dis- charge the remainder when the fire whs dis- covered. - Zealandia Is in the Stream.

The germ in burrowing into the root of the hair, where it destroys the vitality of the hair, causing the hair to fall out, digs up the cuticle in little scales, called dandruff or scurf. You can’'t etop the failling hair without curing dandruff. and you can't cure the Yandruff without killing the dan- druff germ. “Destroy the cause, you re- move the &ffect.” Newbro’s Herpicide is the only hair prepakation that kills the dandruff germ. Herpicide is also a de- ligntful hair dressing. Sold at leading drugstores. Send 10 cents in stamps for mfle to The Herpicide Co. t, L. a | | | | | | | | | remainder to Mare Island.

Guatemala Victim Is Nephew of Former President Barillas. —_— Among the passengers that arrived here'| yesterday on the Pacific Mail steamship San Juan were two men who have suf- fered severely from the two most terrible ! recent convulsions of nature. Willlam | PRardury lost all his relatives on Mar- tinique when St. Plerre broke into erup- tion and Jose I. Barillas, nephew of the former President of Guatemala, lost most of his worldly wealth fa the showers of ash and pumice belched forth from Santa Maria. Bardury's home is now in Tahiti and he there when Martinique was de- stroyed. St. Pierre was his native town wnd there lived father, mother, two siglers, three brothers and a host of rela- tives.” They were all wiped out of exist- of the disaster that had fallen on his heme and is now on his way back to the South Seas, having visited St. Pierre and delved in vain on the site of his former home for some token of those that had gone. | He brought away with him a mass of molten glass, tumblers and wine glasses, melted into a solid snarl by the awful | Leat of the flowing lava. He dug this up from the site of his father’s house and takes it home with him as a reminder of the awful fate that befell his dear ones. Jose Barillas, whose plantation of Las Victorias s twelve miles from Santa Maria, confirms all that has been told of the extent of the Guatemalan disaster. He estimates the loss of coffee at more and says that 5000 All the buildings reople lost their liv rain some of the land may be of value sgain., He says that the eruption of Santa Maria wrought great hardship on his uncle, former President Barillas. The ex- President, he says, had just paid off his Gebts and was beginning to make some money when the disaster came. He lost three plantations and is practically penni- less. When the nephew left Guatemala he heard that Barillas Sr. was trying to crganize an expedition to one of his plan- tations for the purpose of trying to re- cover his safe, which was buried in the ruins of his house and covered many feet deep with voleanic ash. Jose Barillas was accompanied by his wife and little girl and comes to San Francisco to spend Christmas with his father-in-law, C. C. Kin of 505 Cole street. sey, Salaries Are Increased.

Says She Went Out Riding With a Well-Known Mariner. Katherine Ross, .or Katherine Gorman, as she is known among her associates at the Theater Republic, took a star part in the divorce suit of Elizabeth Anderson against Captain Andrew Anderson yes- terday before Judge Graham. She ap- | peared twice at the trial, which Is being held behind closed doors, and gave her testimony with remarkable sang froid, ccnsidering the nature of her admissions. When first summoned to the stand she was attired in a stunning gown topped off with a sealskin jacket. At her second ap- pearance, which was after the noon re- cess, she was gowned according to the latest fashions and wore in addition a long coat. The actress testifled that she knew An- derson intimately, that she had gome rid- ing with him several times and that on one occasion she had gone with him to a lodging-house. When she had closed her testimony Mrs. Anderson’s attorneys se- cured permission from Judge Kerrigan to file an amended complaint, incorporating a charge of infidelity. The troubles of Captain Anderson, who is a member of the shipping firm of Lew- is, Anderson & Co., have kept the courts busy for some time. The suit for divorce was filed more than a year ago, Mrs. An- derson charging her husband with eru- elty. She asked to be awarded $500 a month alimony, and she was allowed $200. The Andersons were marrfed at Mendo- cino City thirty-three years ago and have six children, four of whom have appeared as witnesses against their father. Mae E. Newman, whose husband, Harry C. Newman, is a guide in Chinatown, filed a suit for divorce yesterday, alleg- ing cruelty. She charges that her hus- band frequently sleeps with a razor under his pillow, and that on several oceasions he has thréatened to cut her throat. The Newmans achieved considerable notoriety some months ago, Newman having ac- cused his wife of running away with an- other man and taking his savings with her. They were married in 1894, A sult for divorce was also filed by Ida Fitzpatrick against James J. Fitzpatrick on the ground of intemperance. Divorces were granted to Helen Arns- berg from Benjamin Arnsberg for deser- tion, Margaret Sykes from Willlam Sykes for neglect and Lillian T. Steffans from John G. Steffans for neglect. CHEAP REVOLVER FAILS AS AN AID TO DEATH Three Bullets Flatten Against Un- known Man’s Ribs, but Carbolic Acid Proves Fatal. An autopsy made yesterday by Morgue Surgeon Bacigalupl on the body of the unldcntified man found on the ocean beach last Tuesday evening showed the surprising fact that the three bullet wounds inflicted by the suicide could mot Lave caused the death of the man, while bolic acid had been the. agent used with fatal effect. One full vial of the 2cid- was found in one of the pockets of the dead man and because of that fact it was thought at first that the builet wounds had produced death. Fach of them was in a vital part of the tedy, but beczuse a cheap 38-caliber pistol was used, of the “bulldog” kind, the bullets failed to go deeper than’ the skin. The man was peorly dressed. MODIFICATIONS MADE ON SCRIP MILEAGE BOOKS Traveling Men and Railroad Com- panies Will Hold a Conference Shortly. Passenger Traffic Manager E. 0. Me- Cormick of the Southern Pacific Company stated yesterday that within a few days representatives from the rallroad com- rarvies would hold a conference with the commercial traveling men and hear their complaints in reference to the scrip mile- age books. . The railroad companies will shortly make several concessions in reference to this form of tickets. They will allow traveling men more stop-over privileges and will also give them rebates on excess baggage at the time of checking. ————— Grand Master’s Sentiments.
