14 DEMENTED MAN ATTAGKS GROWD Dennis McCarthy Jr. Is Cause of a Stiron Geary Street. Recently Divorced Man Be- lieves It His Mission to Punish the World. Dennis W. McCarthy Jr., a retired cap-| | ftalist, residing at the-Elysium, 566 Geary | street, went insane and ran amuck on Geary, between Powell and Mason streets, | last night about 10 o'clock, assaulting | several people and terrorizing the whole netghborhood i McCarthy became possessed last night | of the idea that he was a disciple of ! Jesus Christ, aythorized to inflict punish- ment on this wicked race. With that idea in view he assauited men and women by the dozen, going up to them and striking them on the face and body with hjs fists. Several were painfully injured, among them being -John Lyons of 1361 Page street, and K. Bedrons of 512 Jones streset. | Both of these were poutficed upon by the demented man, who beat them unmerci- fully about the head. i Officers Davids and Fennell were at- tracted to the scene by and with great difficulty ‘they subdued McCarthy and sent him to the insane ward at the Central Emergency Hospital. When asked for his reasons for his con- duct McCarthy replied that as Christ had come again to earth to show the road to paradise, and as he had suffered unmer- | <ifully for his people, so should they suf- fer. { McCarthy recently figured in a divorce | trial, in which his wife obtained a decree | on the ground of cruelty. Mrs. McCar thy lives at 426 Cole street. father, who is wealthy, lives in Syracuse, N. Y. "icCarthy is a great-grandson of the latc General M. G. Vallejo.

NOT DUE TO CLIMATE. Catarrh Is Found Everywhere. i Catarrh is at home anywhere and every- where. While more common in cold, changeable cljmates, it i= by no means confined to them, but is prevalent in every State and Territory in the Union. The common definition of catarrh is a chronic cold in the head, which if long | neglected often destroys the sense of | smell. and hearing; but there .are man. other forms of the disease, even more ob- stinate and dangero! tarrh of the throat and bronchial tubes, as well -as catarrh of the stomach and liver, are almost as common as nasal by an-internal treatment. Spra; washes | and powders are useless as far as reach- | ing the real seat of the cerned. Dr. Mclverney advises catarrh sufferers to use a new preparation, sold by drug- gists, called Stuart’s Catarrh Tabietss be- | cause actual analysis has shown these tablets to contain certain antiseptic qualities of the highest value and being . &n internal remedy, pleasant to the tas ent -arid harmiess, can be used a: as required, as well for children as disease is con- freely for adults. An attorney gnd public speaker who had | been a catarrh sufferer for years sa “Every fall I would catch a cold which | wouid settle in my bead and throat and hang on all winter long, and every win- ter it seemed to get a little wors: 1 was continually clearing my throat and my voice hecame affected to such an extent &s to interfere with my public speaking. 1 tried troches and cheap cough cures | and sometimes got relief, but only for a #hort time, until this winter, when learned of the new catarrh cure, Stua Catarrh Tablets, through a newspaper ad.- vertisement.

When Archbishop Riordan was in Los Angeles he summoned the éouncil of the diocese and a meeting was held. At that time (hgee names . were selected, and these will be submitted for consideration at Rome, but it is not understood that this list necessarily will influence the final vote. It is understood that the priests of Los Angeles, or at least many of them, favor the appointment of one of their own number, and from all apparent ‘indjcations that one is Father Harnett, who is a popular mian in the diocese and is considered one of the most capable clergymen in this part of the State. It is rot believed. here that Dr. Conaty stands any better chance of receiving the ap- peintment than do several others, Father Harnett included. tesfeedrefoforfofortoforiorioio ALIMONY UNDER PROTEST S Herman Keller Enters ‘ Legal Lists With Former Wife.

Burglars in Act of Robbery. —— For the second time within a short pe- tiod Policeman J. J. Tillman has distin- by bravery and good judgment in the capture of criminals and Chief Wittman has on each occasion,pub. licly thanked and commended him. Hi last exploit was the capture of two bur- glars at an early hour yesterday mofn- ing. ‘About 3 o'clock Tillman saw two men frying to force open the front door of Schutte & Haase's saloon, 57 Third street. He stepprd info the door of a restaurant and awaited developments. The men tried ' i walk a few steps and return. Finally lookout. Tillman watched till the man autsidé was off his guard and came quick- Iy up behind him, thrusting bis revolver under his ear and telling him not to make' an outcry. He made the man walk inside the saloon in front of him. 1 The other burglar was behind the coun- ter and had appropriated three boxes of cigars. " Tillman covered him with his re- volver and ordered him to throw up his hands. He made him walk over to the wall and quickly placed the handcuffs over ‘the wrists of both men. He blew his whistle and Policemen Foley, Kinch and Goodwin responded and rang for the patrol wagon. Foley made the place se- cure and Tillman took the two men to the City Prison and booked them.on a charge of burglary. The lock, staples and cigars were booked as evidence. The out- side guard was Archibald Tisdall and the one who entered the saloon James Reid. They appeared before Police Judge Ca- baniss vesterday and after being instructs ed and arraigned the cases were contin- ued il Monday. ‘When “hief Wittman was notified of the capture of the two burglars he issued the following order to Captain Spillane to be read to the watches in his district: I wish thrcugh You to extend my thanks and commendation to Patrolman J. J. Tillman for the rare good judgment and bravery which he exercised In the capture arnd arrdst of the two burglars at 57 Third street at 3 o'clock this morning. . This is the second instance within a shott time that Officer Tillman has so dlstin- guished himself and I wisn you to assure him that his prompt and efficient manner-of doing his duty cannot fail to win recognition and prefefment for him from those in charge of the department.
