In this movement Edwin W.| Tucker, chairman, and E. C. Hare, sec- | retary of the Masonic board of relief, | have been very active. In ‘a -circular| addressed to every lodge in the State| the officers named say: | At the present time every lodge In this | State is compelled to send its aged and in- firm brethren to the different hospitals in their | respective citles, because they are refused ad- | mittance to the home, as there are no accom- || modations for them, and for which the lodges { would gladly pay the same as they do at the hoepitals, knowing full well that their breth- | ren” would receive every care and attention. ‘We believe that it is absolutely necessary | that this step shquld be taken, and that each and every Mason In the State of California will have a better and higher appreciation of the beautles of our great fraternity when this work has been accomplished. This will | entail an expense of about $50,000, and it will be necessary to devise ways and means to raiee this amount, and it has been suggested that we give a falr, to be held entirely under | the auspices of the Masonic fraternity, and to that end we submit this proposition to the different lodges, asking each and every one to thoroughly discuss the matter and send us their views. Last evening there was a reunion | of worshipful masters who recently re- | tired from nineteen local lodges, of re- | cently installed masters and of junior and senfor wardens of these lodges in | one of the leading rotisseries. There was discussed an account of the work | that the board has done during the | 1ast year. The report read showed that there was expended for the relief of | Masons in the jurisdiction of California ! | $1869, of Masons in other jurisdictions | in the United States $5672, of foreign | Jjurisdictions $4703. It was also shown that the disbursement for charities by . the board since 1856, when it was or- | ganized, amounts in the aggregate to $431,320. During 1903 the board attended to last rites in the cases of sixteen members of the fraternity. At the re-| union the matter of the proposed hos- | | pital was discussed, and those present | were interested in the matter with a | view that steps shall soon be taken to | bring about the desired result. | After the supper there was presented | to Edwin W. Tucker a token of appre- | clation of the service he had rendered the board in the shape of a valuable clock of the grandfather pattern, after which a number of those who were as- | sociated with him, in appreciation of the work he had done to advance the | movement for the proposed hospital, | | presented him with a large silver lov- | ing-cup, on which appears engraved a | fac simile of the signature of the don- | ors. These are H. M. Owen of Califor- | nia Lodge, A. Hugenin of La Parfaite | Union, J. A. Snook and C. E. Landis of Occidental, W. A. T. Agard and A. H. | Phelps of Golden Gate, J. F.

If there {s one thing more than all | others that will give a man a forlorn | and friendless appearance and make him morbid and “cranky” and dis-| agreeable that thing is dyspepsia. It | makes one forget his friends and be- | come morcse and irritable. He is so | wrapped up in his own misery that he is inconsiderate of every one else. | Relieved of this terrible and depressing ailment, he again becomes a good fel- low and a man among men. | Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are be- yond question the most effective and popular remedy ever offered to the suf- ferers of this terrible disease. The thou- | | sands and thousands of cures they have ! brought about and the enormous in- crease of their sales fully attest the truth of this statement. They are, above all, a natural rem- | | edy. They possess exactly the same | properties that the gastric julces and | other digestive fluids of the atomach | | possess and they actually do the diges- | | tive work of the stomach and enable | | that organ to rest and recuperate and become sound and well. They act in | a mild, natural manner and cause no | disturbance in the digestive organs. They prevent any fermentation of the food, which causes sour stomach. In | fact, under their influence the subject | forgets that he has a stomach and his | resulting cheerfulness presents a great | contrast to his former dejection. Millions of boxes of Stuart’s Dyspep- gla Tablets are sold annually and they | are but in the dawn of their popularity. | Every mail brings letters of thanksgiv- | ing from grateful ones who have been cured of this terrible disease. The fol- | lowing is one of hundreds received each week: |- Rev. J. R. Hoag of Wymore, Neb., writes: “For six years I have been troubled with dyspepsia. Last fall I | became very much alarmed at some symptoms of heart trouble and came to belleve there was a sympathetic re- lation between the two diseases. or rather that the stomach trouble was the cause of the heart disturbances, I hit upon Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for a remedy and Invested a dollar and a | half for three boxes, wnich lasted me | three months, and I can eat any kind of tood I want and have a good, vig- | orous appetite. Although I am 77 years ! old, I now feel perfectly well and, with- | out being requested by any one, I make this statement as a compliment to the virtues of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.” | these garments. are gencral.

Attorney Walter Thompson is repre- senting Wulff and his case will be care- fully watched by the physicians. ‘Wulff, who is possessed of consider- able jmeans,. was stricken with pa- ralysis early last month. He was treat- ed at the German Hospital and finally discharged as cured. It is claimed that after returning to his home at 268 Sixth avenue he threatened to kill him- self by either cutting his throat or Jumping from the window. His son, Henry, swore to a warrant charging him with insanity and he was taken into custody. Yesterday morn- ing he was examined and the physi- cians decided to hold him for observa- tion. Wulft insists that his wife and four sons, Henry, John, Willlam and Frank, are conspiring to have him railroaded to an asylum with the uiti- mate intention of securing control of his property. The estate consists of a ranch in Sacramento County and prop- erty in the Ricnmond district. Attorney Thompson claims his atten- tion was called to the case by mer- chants with whom Wulff had done busi- ness for a number of years. They were impressed with Wulff’s story, and as cases of sane men being shipped to in- sane asylums are by no means rare, desired that the case be carefully in- vestigated. The members of Wulff's family claim that their sole desire in causing his ar- rest is to prevent him from ending his life. They say there is no mercenary motive back of the complaint, as in that case they would have applied for guardianship papers. COMMITTEE OF CITIZENS CONFERS WITH CONGRESSMAN The committee, consisting of C. L. La Rue, J. L. Beringer, Charles Bundschu, Percy T. Morgan, Theodore Gier and W. E. Rankin, appointed at the con- vention of wine men at St. Helena some months ago to confer with Congress- man Bell in reference to a national pure wine bill, met with Mr. Bell at the Grand Hotel in this city yesterday to discuss the bill recently introduced by him in Congress. All members of the committee were present except Mr. Morgan and Mr. Gier. Messrs. Sbar- boro and Rossi addressed the meeting. The bill was unanimously approved in all features except the provision re- lating to the tax of one-tenth of a cent a gallon on pure wine. After much dis- cussion it was agreed that Mr. Bell should consult the soligitor of the rev- enue department at Washington and obtain his opinion as to whether the tax on pure wine could be omitted or modified without injury to the remain- der of the bill. A good deal of enthu- slasm was manifested by both dealers ahd growers, and undoubtedly the bill, when slightly amended, will give satis- faction throughout California, Mr, Bell was requested to have the California delegation in Congress sup- port the proposed appropriation for the viticultural experimental stations in this State, Throws Pepper in Boy's Eyes. Several young hoodlums were tor- menting a salesman named C. L. Wil- son last night on Market street. They pursued him up Market street and pro- ceeded to hit him with sticks and stones. a nearby drug store and bought some red pepper. When he came out of the store Policeman Dolan was repri- manding the boys for attacking the man. Wilson rushed up and threw a handful of the red pepper at the crowd. A quantity of it lodged in the eyes of a boy named George Dugan, residing at 6713% Clementina street. He was taken to the Emergency Hos- pital for treatment and Wilson was ar- rested and charged with the commis- sion of a felony. Walter Magee Is Arrested. Walter Magee was arrested last night and charged with battery. He became involved in an altercation with two men at the corner of Sutter and Polk streets. The men got away and Magee was taken into custody. He was released on $10 bail. ————— Petitions in Insolvency.
