THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1904. DR. KILMER’'S SWAMP-ROOT. ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WEAK? Thousands of Men and Women Have Kid- ney Trouble and Never Suspect It. To Prove What the Great kidney Remedy, Swamp-Root, Will Do for YOU, Every Reader of The Call May Have a Sample Bottle Sent Absolutely Free by Mail. It used to be considered that only urinary and bladder troubles were to be traced to :he kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. The kidneys filter and purify the blood— that is their work. Therefo re, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quick- 1y your entire body is affected, and how ev- ery organ secms to fail te do its duty. Tf you sick or “feel badly,” begin taking the gr. iney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, bec s soon as your kidneys begin to get better they will help all the other or- gan- to health. A trial will convince any one. I cheerfully recommend and indorse the Great Remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, for kidney trouble and bad liver. I have used it and derived great benefit from it. I believe it has cured me entirely of kidney and liver trouble, from which I suffered terribly. eat SWAMP-ROOT Kidney, Liver & Bladder Most gratefully yours, = CURE. A. B.

EGYPTIAN TOBACCO BAD. How about the delicious IDgyptian cigarettes? The delicate Egyptiar to- bacco? Alas again! The native Egyp- tian tobacco is so bad that nobody smokes it but the natives, and not even they when they can £ * anything else. In E-ypt, as in so many places, the to- bacco comes from somcivhere else. The highest grade tobacco there apparently is imported from Europe—from Rou- melia.

She denied that Tom killed his sister, or that she knew anything about the crime. Mrs. Bechtel said that on the Mon- | day morning preceding Mabel's death, | Mabel sald she was going out driving with Weisenberger.

Many stories, mostly fabrications, have been told about long, diffuse tele- graphic messages sent by women, as if the feminine mind were incapable of "expressing itself concisely. How false and slanderous such an impression is is well shown by the following incident: A gentleman went to London on busi- nesgs. As he went away he said some- thing to his wife about buying her a new dress. Just before starting home- | ward he telegraphed to his wife: “Which shall I bring you—a diamond | ring or a silk dress?” The reply was concise and explicit— lone word: “Both.”—London Tidbits. 2 3 {the ‘time when Sultan Haround-ai- Raschid walked his city’s streets incog- nito, but they have not now.

RUSSIA CONCEDES ALL DEMANDS OF JAPAN RELATING TO KOREA Abandons Her Contention for a Neutral Zone and Only the Manchurian Differences Remain Now| as an Obstacle in Way of a Peaceful Settlement LONDON, Jan. 22.—A statement is published in London -this morning, with an air of authority, to the effect that the question of a neutral zone has disappeared from the Russo-Japanese negotiations. Although it is impos- sible to confirm this statement, it agrees with other inspired statements that Russia has acquiesced in Japan's views regarding the integrity of Korea i and that the only trouble now remain- ing relates to Manchuria. With reference to the ordinances adopted by the Japanese Privy Coun- cil at the meeting of January 20, this statement explains that Russian men- of-war have had free access all along, even to the Japanese ports of Naga- saki and Hakodate, for coaling and other purposes; Japan therefore has stores of an inferior quality for only six months. Under date of Constantinople a cor- respondent of the Dally Telegraph cables that although there is no pres- ent intention of moving the Russian { Black Sea ileet, there is little doubt that if the necessity arose Russia mission to make this move, but sud- denly would appear at the mouth of the Bosphorps and be out of the Dar- danelles within eighteen hours, know- ing well the Turks would be unable to resist unless backed by a strong Euro- pean fleet.

Special dispatches from St. Peters- burg to the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail assert that Russia’s reply to the latest Japanese note was drawn up yesterday at a Ministerial council, at which the Czar presided. The tenor of this reply is courteous but firm, ac- cording to M. Witte, president of the Council of Ministers. Nothing has been given out officially concerning this reply, but it is understood, ac- cording to messages from St. Peters- burg, that Russia maintains that Man- churia must remain amenable, politi- cally and strategically, to Russian in- fluence, the concessions made being only of a commercial character. APPEAL FOR ARBITRATION. Two identical dispatches, originating with Willilam T. Stead and W. R. Cremer, M. P., were sent to-night to the Czar and the Mikado, urging these potentates, if diplomacy failed, to sub- mit the Far Eastern dispute to The Hague tribunal. The messages are lengthy, and they appeal especially to the Czar as “the courageous originator of The Hague conference,” to take the initiative in referring the matter to The Hague. The appeals are signed by sixty prominent English advocates of arbitration. Among the signers are all the members of the labor delegation | in Parliament, Lord Avebury, Lord Hobhouse, the Marquis of Bristol, Frederick Harrison, George Meredith, Sir John Gorst, Earl Gray, Rev. J. C. Clifford, Rev. R. J. Campbell, and many labor leaders outside of Parlia- ment., EXOD"S FROM, PORT ARTHUR. From Néwchwang the correspondent of the Daily Mail reports that all the British and American employes of Russian firms are leaving Port Arthur and that the Yokohama Specie Bank has closed its offices in Newchwang. Various special correspondents re- port riots in Korea, but without giving details The Daily Mail's correspondent at Chefu cables that he is able to con- firm the reports that Viceroy Alexieff has dismissed many officials at Port Arthur on discovery that, instead of having on hand provisions for an army of 200,000 men for two years, as had been supposed, there were sufficient Foreign Office does not offer any indi- | { minutes, he hanged himself to his bed- stead with his suspenders and was | dead, before his act became known. Van Rath was 36 years of age and a native of Switzerland. He was com- mitted to the Napa institution from San Francisco in 1899. An inquest w held s this morning cation of when the Russian reply to Japan will be ready. Some of the strongest men in the empire are work- ing for a peaceful termination of the difficulty, the main feature being a breakdown of the negotiations, but they are meeting with opposition on the ground that the propositions which are ‘acceptable to Japan do not pre- serve Russian pride. The Listok says it expects the crisis to end in an un- derstanding in the form of a treaty | supplementary to the Russo-Japanese convention regarding Korea. Kurino, the Japanese Minister. be- lieves that the unfortunate tone of the foreign dispatches, including some from New York to London, tend to create irritation. He deprecates the attempt cf the Russian press to “fly the flag of vellow peri!,” and says: “The whole history of Japan since the restoration shows her aim and pur- poge to take her place on the plane of European civilization and become a world power, politically and commer- cially. Japan is not so narrow as to advocate ‘Asia for the Asiatics.”” The War Mirister's order to convert twenty-seven reserve battalions into regular troops is robbed of significance, so far as the present situation is con- cerned, the order having been.issued last February. s S S Korean Crown Prince in Hiding. WASHINGTON, Jan. rean Minister at Washington and his staff are guarding zealously the where- abcuts of Prince FEui Wha, who, ac- cording to report, will replace his fath- er on the throne after the Korean Em- peror is dethroned. The Mirster said that the Prince’s movements necessar- ily were confidential for the present. The Prince has been atetnding college at Delaware, Ohio. and it is learned from an attache of the legation that he is expected in Washington this month. - —_ ' Korean Ministers Resign.

LIKELY TO GET SHARKEY-MUNROE FIGHT Selection of Battleground Again Post- poned Owing to Club Withhold- ing Forfeit. NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—Although it has not been officially announced, the proposed pugilistic -contest between Tom Sharkey and Jack Munroe in all probability will be decided before the Criterion Athletic Club. The battle- ground was to have been chosen to- day, but it was again deferred. The reason for this was that the Criterion Club’s bid, which was tHe best one, could not be accepted because the club did not comply with the requirement of sending a certified check for $2000 with the proposal. The managers of the men are in communication with the club, and the organization’s match- maker says the money will be sent, if at all, in a few days. In the meantime the fighters will continue training, because the articles | stipulate that the battle must be de- cided before March 1. It also is under- stood that one of the Philadelphia clubs will make an offer for the en- counter. It may not be considered, because the articles say the match must be for more than six rounds. In Philadelphia only six-round bouts are permitted. However, if the Boston club does not forward the necessary deposit the papers may be modified so as to allow the men to have it out at Philadelphia. —_————————— Australia’s Navy. Canada still continues reluctant to contribute her share toward the naval defense of the British empire. Aus- tralia, however, has already the be- ginning of a navy. In return for an annual vote of $1,000,000 England has,supplied her with three new sec- ond-class cruisers, which will be manned partly by Australians and New Zealanders. Nine hundred men have been enlisted to serve in the British navy, but in Australian waters, and in addition to these there has been formed a naval reserve of twen- ty-five officers and -mo men.—New York Press. —_————————— s Care of Jewels.

In France there are only four goats to each person. in Pipe Attributed to An- i drew Jackson. | | Barring the “T. D.” clay for the grown men and the cigarette for the rising generation, there are few things so popular with the tobacco smoking fraternity as the corncob pipe. And the history of the corncob Is interesting telling. In its evolution from manufac- ture by hand up until to-day, that thousands are turned out every work- ing hour, there are interesting epochs. In the manufacturing district along the Delaware River there is a night watchman, a colored man, who back in the days “befo’ de wa'" was a slave in Louisiana. He was born and reared in slavery. Recently he was smoking a corncob contentedly, reflectively and reminiscently. As he puffed he asked the question: “Who was the first white man to | make a corncob pipe? Do you know?" ! “No." | Then the negro told this story: | “It was Andrew Jackson, President of the United States. A man by the name of St. Armand was a soldier under Jackson wher he was major general at New Orleans. At the time that Jack- son used bales of cotton for protecting his army he was'found smoking a corn- cob and said he made it himself. This was when Colonel Thornton of the Brit- ish regulars made his attack on Jack- | son.” A relative of the speaker’'s, Henry Guesno, who went to New York City about nineteen months ago, was the first man to make corncob pipes for sale. It was in 1867, when he was em- ' ployed by a man named Mayrone in New Orleans. Mayrone had been his owner in the days of slavery and came upon Guesno one day when he was whittling a pipe and asked him why he didn’t make them to sell. The old-style corncob had long been an institution of the South- | ern negro, but not of a merchantable i article. The interrogatory of Mayrone set Guesno thinking, with the resuit that in the fall of 1867, at a Mechanics’ and Agricultural Association fair of the State of Louisiana, held in New Or-| | leans, he exhibited a number of pipes, ‘all of which had ready sale. One ob- | jectionable feature was that the bowl | burned out very quickly. Gygsno con- | iuulted a well-known chemist, with the | result that a harmiess chemical com- position was applied which infinitely | prolonged the life of the corncob and | which to-day is being used in its man- | ( ufacture. In the days of Guesno it was uald he received as high as $25 for a Italy eight, in Germany ten. in Switz- erland fourteen, in Sweden and Nor- way eighteen, in Spain twenty-three in Algeria 100, and in Greece 110. In Switzerland, America and Mexico the number of goats has increased of late vears. In the United States the goat is valued not only for its milk, butter and cheese, but its leather. The goat. in fact, is taking the place of sheep and cows in some countries. Among the best breeds are the Alpine varie- ties called Saanen. Toggenbourg, Gruyere and Schwartsshals of Switzer- land and the Zaraibe of Nubia, called the pearl of goats, which is said to vield four times more milk in propo tion to the size than our best cow —_——e————— MELBOURNE, Victorta, Jan. 21. — Lord Northcote, appointed Governor General of Aus traila in succession to Lord Tennyson, landed at midday.

If there is 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 morose and irritable. He is so wrapped up in his own misery that he is inconsiderate of every one else. Re- lieved of this terrible and depressing ailment, he again becomes a good fel- low and a man among men Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are be- youd question the most effective and popular remedy ever offered to the sufferers of this terrible disease. The thousands and thousands of cures they have brought about and the enormous increase 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 juices and other digestive fluids of the stomach 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, natuggl manner and cause no disturbance In the digestive organs. They prevent any fermentation of the food, which causes sour stomach.

Twenty years ago there were ninety recognized forests. A recent re- report from the Crofter Commission | showed 109 of these forests. To-day there are 150. Shootings and forests which let for upward of £400 or £500 £ year may be counted by hundreds. In | the two countries of Argyll and Inver- | ness alone there are a®dozen forests whose rentals average £2000. Here the cost a day will work out at over £40, exclusive of wages of attendants. The tendency of price is constantly upward. Captain Heywood Londsdale will be in- terested to know that Coignafearn, the 40,000 acres of which he rented last year for £2000, was originally let by the Mackintosh of the 30's for £30, with ! £5 return as “luck penny.” ‘The foregoing is typical of the rise in rents which has resuited from the eager competition for forests and moors. Invershie, when it was good enough to afford a bag of seventy-five brace to one man and a dog, the shoot- er armed with only an old flintlock, fetched £50; now it is a four figure shooting. George A. Cooper is paying £5500 for his forest, £4700 to Sir G. Macpherson-Grant for his share of Glenfeshe and £800 to the Mackintosh for his portion. M. “Achilles Fould has Invermark at £3850; William Weir, Achanacarry for £2000; Lord Burton, | Glenquoich for £3022; Frank Bibby, Mamore at $2500. For Invercauld, £5000 for the season is asked. For £3000 less Runecht is let. At about £2000 many moors and forests are now being used. Then, to this must be add- ed cost of traveling, £1 a week for each of the gillies, £1 a week for ponies, beaters and drivers, of whom there may be thirty or forty, at 4 shil- lings a day. Dogs cost from £5 to twenty times that figure; guns from £7 to £70. The game shot may, with luck, be sold for half its cost per head. The deer which has cost £50 to kill may be sold to a dealer for its carcass for £3. Its head, if a fine one, may realize any- | thing up to £25.—St. James Gazette.

C., Jan. 21.—The main |' Millions of boxes of Stuart’s Dys- | pepsia Tablets are sold annually and they are but in .the dawn of their popularity. Every mail brings letters of thanksgiving from grateful ones '_h,,who have been cured of this terrible disease. The following is one of hun~ | dreds received each week: Rev. J. R. Hoag of Wymore, Nebe., 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 believe 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, which lasted | me three months, and I can eat any kind of food I want and have a good, vigorous appetite. Although I am 77 years old, I now feel perfectly well and without being requested by any one I make this statement as a com- pliment to the virtues of Stuart's Dys- _ pepsia Tablets.” Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for's sale by all druggists at 50 cents a box.
