Special Dispatch to The Call. SANTA CLARA, May 23.—Alfred Wyss, a retired dealer in produce, who lives at his son's home at 2636 Twentieth street, self in a public park on Malin street here this evening at 8 o'clock. Wyss was seen by small boys playing near. George Whybark, who was pass- ing to the bandstand from the beams down. He was taken to the branch coun- | tv jail. and later Constable D. A. Toomey took him to Ban Jose, where he was lodged in jail for the night. Wyss says that his trouble is with his | son, whose wife has made his life un- | bearable. Yesterday he quarreled with | his son, Alfred Jr., and went to San Jose. | There he bought some cotton clothes line and took a car for Santa Clara. He walit- ed until dark before making his unsuc- cessful attempt to end his life. He first looped the clothes line over a rafter, then stepped on the railing, drew the rope tight, fastened it and swung off. He was suspended only a few moments and only slight marks were found on his neck. Wyss is a Swiss and 68 years of age. He was formerly in business at 277 Fell street and on Hayes street, in San Fran- cisco. . | 1ands; [ william | “GERMAN | Augusta Chita Kraft, | Bird, Banning | Alto | Mansfield | Rosa; | S8an Francisco. attempted to Kang him- | of which Wyss was suspended, cut him | BREAST Mother's Friead.” This great remedy is a God-send to women, carrying them through their most critical ordeal with safety and no pain. ** No woman who uses “Mother’s Friend” need fear the suffering and danger incident to birth; for it robs the ordeal of its horror and insures safety to life of mother and child, and leaves her in ‘a condition more favorable to speedy recovery.

The immense steel plates, some of which weigh as much as twelve tons, are now handled by electro-magnets. The form of the magnet is usually rectangu- lar, and it presents a flat surface to the piates to be lifted. A magnet weighing 200 pounds will lift four and a half tons. The magnet is operated by current from a dynamo. For the heaviest plates seve- ral of them are used simultaneously.— Exchange. —_———— TLeopold Strouse, who has made many Special Cablegram to The Call.

In a recent “symposium” in an English magazine two different authors who have experienced two different sorts of popu- larity express two different opinions upon the question of popularity in fiction. The first, William Le Quex, whose sensational novels have a wide reading both here and abroad, advises the literary aspirant for popular favor to study the public, find what they want and then give it to them. The second, A. E. W. Mason, whose “Mi- randa of the Balcony” was enjoyed by the few as a book and by the many as a play, protests, on the other hand, that in his opinion “popularity—and by that I mean a genuine and lasting popularity— is not to be obtained by perpetually and deliberately aiming at it.” Here, then, are two antipathetic views | on the same question from two men who should certainly be qualified to form a correct opinion, and the truth seems to lie | on either side, according to the definition which one gives the word “popularity.” | Yet to take that word even in its broadest sense we are Inclined to side with Mr. | Mason. However one may debase it, lit- erature in the last analysis remains an | art, and no art lends itself to distortion for the sake of popularity. Quite apart from any consideration of their literary merit, the fact remains that most of the legitimately “big sellers” of recent years have been more or less in the nature of new departures on the part of their au- thors, who when they attempted to win a second popularity by another book mod- eled upon the first have generally failed. However, as has been said, all depends upon what is meant by popularity. A cer- tain sort of sensational story is always sure to find a certain sort of large audi- ence, and a conscientiously artistic one is also sure of a hearing. The only differ- ence is in the question of financial re- turns. Using the adjectives in the sense of the ethics of art, the good novel and the bad novel have this in common—that each is assured a sale. Unfortunately, it is the bad novel that has for the most part the larger sale, and that is the easier written by the average man. Otherwise it is a matter of choice, and a very simple affair for a writer of a certain tempera- ment to do bad work for the sake of sell- ing a few extra coples.—Philadelphia Press. —_———— Now, Don’t Blame Us It vou still continue to serve your table with inferior wines.

WRECK ARSENAL AT SANTIAGO Enemies of Government Carry Out Fiendish Plot. SAN DOMINGO, May 23.—The ar- senal at Santiago was blown up yesterday by enemies of the present Government and General Fries killed and twenty-one persons mortally wounded. The troops are pursuing General Alva- rez, who is said to be the author of the explosion. The gunboat Colon, which was convey- ing General des Champes to Sanchen, has been lost off Cape Espada. Des Champes and four others saved themselves in a boat, but the remainder of the crew was lost. Extraordinary Editing. Journalistic circles in Portugal were a few months ago thrown into a state of wild excitement over a wordy warfare between the editors of two well known newspapers. When at length one of them published a statement to the effect that the other had printed an article attacking a certain nobleman because that gentle- man refused to pay blackmail the staff of the journal so accused were roused to a frenzy. Headed by the editor, it is alleged, they made their way to the office of the rival paper, which they ‘endeavored to set on The staff thus attacked, however, made a determined resistance, the fire bri- gade was called and presently the flames were put out without any very serious damage having been done. The editor and the whole staff, it is reported, were ar- rested on a charge of incendiarism, and several of them were afterward sentenced to terms of !mprisonment.—London Tit- Bits. —_————————— A Political Car. The private- car in which John Hays Hammond and family arrtved in the city Thursday morning. May 6 Is one of the swellest railroad cottages that ever rolled into the Central yards. The Pullman car people did their best when they turned it out, and, indeed, it is a very beautiful piece of work. Mr. Hammond presented this car to his wife as a token of his sen- timents toward his' life partner, and in doing so christened it “Kya Yami.” - He discovered this queer word while pros- pecting in the jungles of Africa. Under the blow pipe analysis the word proved to mean “true love,” and Mr. Hammond immediately bagged it for future use. It is now painted in neat lettering upon the sides of the car. Though Mrs. Hammond is mistress of this handsome piece of rolling stock, it is. manned by a Pullman crew, who serve up meals and keep house in Pullman style.—Mexico Joe PoHEIM R THE TAILOR Folding Pocket Opera and Field Glasses Special at §9,00 Each Protection Eye Glasses... r ) T DR.
