Asks Court to Set Aside Selling Contract and the Deed. E. J. (“Lucky’) Baldwin filed an action in the Superior Court yesterday to set | aside a contract made with the late Thomas Magee Sr. known as the Baldwin Annex. The action is brought rgainst W. A. and Thomas Magee Jr. of the firm of Thomas Magee & Sons and A. Aronson and A. Green, | purchasers of the property. In the complaint Baldwin alleges that he entered into an agreement last April with Thomas Magee Sr. (lately deceased), whereby the firm of Thomas Magee & Sons was to have the sole right to sell the Baldwin Annex for $420,000. He charges that the figure named was the price agreed upon, provided the sale took place within six months after the agree- ment went into effect, the contract pro- viding that in the event the property was { not sold within that time the real-estato {firm was to ask $450,000. The property was not sold within the first six months She asked | $950,000, or $100,000 more than Green and | | Aronson are to pay for it under the con- { tract. ! The suit is based on a telegram Bald {'win alleges he recelved from Magee Sr. | several weeks prior to his death, and after the six months first provided for had ex- pired announcing that an offer of $420,000 had been made for the bullding, and ask- ing his consent to a sale for $430,000, if the latter sum were offered. Baldwin con- sented and the Magees after a short time | sold the Anrex, as Baldwin alleges, for $450,000, tendering him for the property $430,000. Baldwin asks the court to set aside the contract and to declare the sale null and | void, on the ground that the terms of the | agreement were violated. APPROVES THE WORK Rev. Dr. Nieto Speaks in Terms of High Praise of Booker T. Washington. | The regular Friday evening lectures by the Rev. Jacob Voorsanger at the Temple Emanu-El and the Rev. Dr. Nieto at the Congregation Sherith Israel were well at- tended last evening and the remarks of the eloquent rabbis were listened to with close attention.

Washington in his great zéal for his own race is performing signal service for the United St and making amends for the neglect of the American people. . Continuing, he remarked upon the ex- ceedingly poor response made by the au- dience of 11,000 people to an appeal that should have evoked not only moral but much material support. It is to be hoped, he said, that our leading dallies will take such steps as will lift from the generous community of San Francisco the awful disgrace of the poverty-stricken contri- bution of a little more than $600 to aid the man who is entitled to the respect, reve: ence and admiration of every true Amer- ican citizen for the great and noble work he has undertaken. Dr. Voorsanger took for “Judaism_and Christianity: a Study In Ideals.”” He said that Judaism, being the most ancient religion, was the foundation of all religions.

According to Laura B. Willlams, general manager of the home, Kane is unfit to have control of the child and she | so stated in the petition for revocation of the letters of guardianship granted to Kane in December, 19(0. Kane's attorneys sought to prove that the home was not.run on lines conducive to the happiness of the little Orientals placed there, because it was also used as @ home for women taken from brothels in Chinatown, whose presence, they claimed, would contaminate the little ones. They also charge that the home was nothing but a bargain counter for Chinese females rescued from brothels at the request of Chinamen who wished them taken to the heme so that ultimately they would fall into their hands. The charges were indignantly denied by Mrs. Willlams and by Miss Margaret Lake, a missionary connected with the home, both of whom testified. that they took the girls to the home to save them from a life of shame and that the only time they received any money for thelr efforts was when a Chinaman of whose integrity they were satisfied paid the bvard of a woman, and after marrying | her according to the laws of church and state took her away. It was at this stage of the proceedings that the charges were made against Kanc, Attorrey Monroe, who represents the mis- guilty of taking money from Mrs. Mary Young after he had filed an affidavit stating that the friends of Lillian Young, a voung girl who had been raised by Mrs. ‘ung and who she desired to be placed in the care of Kane, were too poor to d}- v the costs of guardianship procee thereby securing the remission of Kune was placed on the witness stand and he denied receiving any money from Mrs. Young, and satd he did not know that O’Connor, who acted as a.go-be- tween, had received any. O'Connor was then placed on the witness stand and sub- mitted to a rigid examination by Monroe. He contradicted Kane by stating that he had told Kane hé had received 'funds frem Mrs. Young and that he had given Kane a dollar to pay the law library fee. 1e said he could not remember whether he gave Mrs. Young a receipt. Neither could he remember the words he used in telling Kane of- his-collection of costs. The case was put over until to-day at 2 p. m., when a further examination into the alleged crooked methods of Kane will be made.

Something like 350,000, so says the Los Angeles Journal, will be expended this year in improvements on mining proper- | | ties in the San Gabriel Canyon. The Redding Free Press publishes a story to the effect that a smelter will be erected on one of the properties of the Redding Gold and Copper Company on Ciear Creek. The Randsburg Miner says that few claims were jumped in the Randsburg district this year. The Silver State says that mining claims have recently been located by dif- ferent parties in the Potosi and Paradise districts and on Winnemucca Mountain. An offer of $250,000 was recently de- clined by Alvinza Hayward and his as- sociates for the Empire and Pacific mines at Plymouth, Amador County. Active operations will be resumed on the Duderburg mine in Mono County by an English syndicate. Work has been resumed on the Indian Springs drift mine on the Magalia Ridge, Butte County. A bed of coal has been discovered in Lassen County, which has been located by B. B. Street and Will Mickle.

In the former case nature makes unusual demands upon bone and blood; vital organs are overtaxed and growth con- |» tinues out of proportion to their age. Scott's Emulsion finds scope for its best workings. It nourishes the bones, —the hypophosphites of lime and soda do this; it feeds and enriches the blood—this through the pure cod liver oil; it strengthens the whole system, providing firm, healthy flesh and fortifying the tissues so that they are better able to stand the extra strain upon them. When a child is not grow- ing as it should—undersize, underweight, there will be found in Scott’s- Emulsion the very elements needed to aid in proper development. Bone food for the bones, blood food for the blood, tissue food for the tissues—that is how Scott’s Emulsion provides for each demand of the body. There is a uniform change for the better wherever there is need of new strength and more and better nourishment. These claims are not made off-hand.

Frequently, how. ever, it is a mistaken and useless heroism. Women seem to listen to every call of duty except the supreme one that tells them to guard their health. How much harder the daily tasks become when some derangement of the female organs makes every movement painful and keeps the nervous system unstrung? Irritability takes the place of happiness and amiability; and weakness and suffering takes the place of health and strength. As long as they can drag themselves around, women continue to work and perform their household duties. They have been led to believe that suffering is necessary because they are women. What a mistake! The use of Lydia E.Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will banish pain and restore happiness. Don't resort to strong stimulants or nar- cotics when this ireat strengthening, healing remedy for women is always within reach. > FREE MEDICAL ADVICE TO WOMEN. If there is anythln§ in your case about which you would like special advice, write freely to Mrs. Pinkham. No man will see your letter. She can surely help you, for no person in America has such a wide experience in treating female ills as she has had. She has helped hundreds of thousands of women back to health. Her address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice is free. You are very foolish if you do not accept her kind invitation. For proof read the symptoms, suffering and cure 3 recited in the following letters: “DeAR MRS. PiNgHAM : —I wish to express to you the great benefit I have derived from your advice and the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege=- table Compound. My trouble was female weakness in its worst form and I was in a v bad condition. I could not perform my household duties, my back ached, I was extremely nervous, and I could not eat or sleep, and the bearing-down pains were terrible. My husband spent hundreds of dollars to get me well, and all the medicine that the doctors preseribed failed todo me any good ; I resorted to an operation which the physician said was necessary to restore me to health, but I suffered more after it than I did before; I had hemorrhages of the womb that nothing could seem to stop. “I noticed one of your advertisements and wrote you for advice, I re- ceived your reply and carefully followed all instructions. I immediately began to get stronger, and in two weeks was about the house. I took eight bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and continued following your advice, and to-day I am a well woman. Your remedies and | help are a Godsend to suffering women, and I cannot find words to thank you for what you have done for me.”— Mgs. Lorrie V. Nayror, 1328 N. J. Ave., N.W., Washington, D.

I deoctored for years with doctors and other remedies but received only temporary f. I began taking your medicine, and had not taken it long before I was feeling better. My husband said that I should keep right on taking it as long as it gave me relief from my suffering, as I could not expect to be eured by one or two bottles. I did so and am now able to be on my feet and work * hard all day, and go to bed and rest at night. Thanks to your Vegetable Com- pound I am certainly grateful for the relief it gave me. It is the mother’s great friend.
