PR LT ITALIAN FISHERM SAVE TWO BOYS FROM DROWNING | Virginio and John Suacci Fall Into Pool on Sansome Street With Nearly Fatal Results. While at play Monday morning in a lot adjoining the quarries of Gray Bros. at the foot of Sansome street, two Italian boys, Suacci, respectively 11 and 13 years of age, fell into a pool of water about | ten feet deep and 100 feet wide. The two boys had a narrow escape from death, both being nearly drown- | ed when two Italian fishermen, Car- | melo Saia and Carfmelo Intravnia, came to the fescue and throwing themselves daringly into the water succeeded in saving <the youngsters, already senseless. Dr. de Lucis was promptly | moned and in a short while pronounc- jed the two boys out of danger. | Residents of the neighborhood are very indignant over the carelessness of | Gray Bros. in allowing such a danger- ous pool to remain without fences or repairs within easy reach of children who usually play in the lot. They complain also that such a pool of | dirty and infected- water endangers jthe health of the residents of the| neighborhood. —_—— Faculty Honors Dr. McLean. Dr. J. K. McLean, president of the Congregational Theological Seminary of Berkeley, was the guest of the | | members of the faculty of that insti- tution and a number of his friends at a dinner at the Palace Hotel last | evening, given in celebration of his me\enuem birthday. During the even- ‘lng Dr. McLean was presented with a | magnificent leather covered chair, a token of esteem from those with whom he has been associated in the theological seminary across the bay for many years. ——— ias he had promised to do they thought | their measures for self-protection none too drastic.

Laumeister alleges that he has ascer- tained that the Bellstedts have no storehouses. —_——— Chinese Justice. Letters reaching Paris from Hanoe describe the Chinese border province of Kwangsi as a perfect cauldron of re- bellion and throw a strong light on Chinese justice. Marshal Su, the com- mander in chief of the province, had been pronounced guilty of incapacity, for which the penalty is the most ter- rible even in the Chinese code—slow death. This awful punishment is drawn out during from three to eight days, and begins with the removing of the nails from fingers and toes, then the loosening of the muscles from arms and legs. Thence the torture proceeded to the trunk and upward to the head, eyelashes, eyelids and finally the eyes being torn out. Su was placed in a cell full of lugubrious reminders, but procured better quarters by a bribe of 7000 taels, and finally secured pardon by disgorging the official plunder of a lifetime.—London Globe. —_—— The Anti-Corset League.

JURIST'S VIEWS ON CITIZENSHIP Civie Purity and Obedience | to Law Are First Requisite, Says Chief Justice Brewer SR EQUALITY AS A BASE Distinguished Speaker Talks | on High Ideals in Govern-| ment to Chicago Audience CHICAGO, March 29.—“Waste no time or strength over trivial differences | concerning modes and methods. Enilist’ under the single banner of civic purity, righteousness and obedience to law. Enlist not for one campaign only, but for the war.” This was the remedy for the purification of vice offered by | Justice David J. Brewer of the United | States Supreme Court in an address here to-night under the auspices of the | Municipal Lecture Association. Jus- | | tice Brewer’s theme was “Obedience to | Law the First Civie Duty,” and his discourse was listened to with marked ' interest by an audience that filled the Auditorium Theater. ‘ Justice Brewer spoke as follows: It is a trulsm that all should obey the law. It i5 a part of the Anglo-Saxon's political | creed. Especially is this true wherever the ! law is not made for the citizen, but where the citizen makes the law. If a number of men \ unite in a partnership on equal terms, un- doubtedly the majority should control and the minority submit to their judgment or quit the | vartnership, Ours is a government of the peo- ple, by the people and for the people. The underlying principle of republican in- stitutions is equality. Each man is entitled to one vote and no more, One man's vote s as {Bood and no better than anothe Never, | something | It should be to every true | American like the water of life, without | money and without price. This rule of equal- | ity is the basic principle of our political life, | however short we may come of realizing it. | however, look upon it as propert | The declaration of independence is still a living | and glowing truth and not a mere chromo of | dead thought or glittering generalities. i MAJORITY SHOULD RULE. | According to this, the majority <I:-lcrmine‘ and make the law and the minority must obey | or go elsewhere. In our thought there is no | place for resistance to law or for revolution to overthrow the decisions of the ballot. We do | not live in Panama, and we have no canals to sell. This duty of obedience to the law being conceded, Jt being confessedly the principle upon which republican government is founded, why £top to consider it in relation to munici- pal government? No one will seriously con- tend that there is an obligation to obey the | | law of the State or nation, and none to obey the ordinances of a city, ‘iherefore, why dis- cuss that which all admit to be true? Although cenfessedly true, there are, never- ieless, some thoughts concerning it worthy of special consideration, some things ‘which make it fitting that the duty of obedience to law in a city should bv pressed upon our attenth The ordinances of a city are its special la Undoubtedly the laws of a State are enfor within the limits of the municipality. The criminal law of the State is as poteni within as without the city Umits. To kill a man in- &lde the city is just as much murder as to kill \ him in the ®untry, And speaking generally, the laws ot tha State axd the mation operate | as fully within as without the limits of a city, But in addition to thos> laws are the | ordinances of the city enacted &y the city | authorities and operative only within the city. | There are thus more laws requiring obedience. Further, thé ordinances are laws of a special B i { | | | charactér, and by reason thereof justify spe- | cial attention, CRIME IN CITIES. | And the first thing which I wish to suggest | is that there is more violation of law in a | city than elsewhere. Thers is more crime in | a city than in the ocountry. There are many reasons for this. One The opportunities of escape and the means of | concealment are greater. Now, vice and| aud they go where prop- erty is and the multitudes are. There also | they find their friends and sympathizers. In | such localities and amid such lurround(n‘s‘ their business flourlshes. Another cause is the heterogeneousness of a | city’s population. No one of our large cities is filled with people of a single race. The world has been pouring’ multitudes on our | shores from every race and clime and they | gravitate toward our large citfes. Even in staid old Boston there are more Irishmen than | Americans. Chicago is pre-eminent in this | respect. Not only is your foreign population | enormous, but it is made up not from a single | race, but from many. To many of them gov- | ernment is an enemy and law means tyranny. ‘Many find pleasures and practices they have been_ aceustomed to at home (and which hav- | ing been accustomed to they feel are among or restricted by municipal laws and police regulations. Is it strange that they fret at such laws and regulations and disregard them when possible? 1 bave thus spoken of some of the causes of the greater violation in the city than in the | country. Let me now turn your attention to some of the results of such violation. And in order to fully appreciate this we must con- sider why it is that there are so many minute police regulations in a city, so many thimw! forbidden by such regulations which the State doés not deem necessary to forbid, when done in the country. WHAT LIBERTY MEANS. Contrast one living on his farm in the coun- try, half a mile from any neighbor, with ore living in the midst of a densely populated city, How many more things the former can do without injury or annoyance to others. And the true jdea of liberty is not doing whatever one’s ju ent or wishes suggest, but the right of doiff those things which do not interfere with the wellbeing and happiness of others. The rights of others are the bound- aries of every man's fiberty. ‘The farmer's wife may throw the sslops from hergkitchen | on the ground; the farmer may put his pig ! pen in front of his parlor; he may burn soft coal and let the black smoke pour out of his chimney; he may store gunpowder or nitro- glycerin ‘or gasoline in his barn: he may driv his horse or run an automobile as fast he pleases within the limits of his own farm; he may let his hogs roam at will, within his own enclosure if he is content to have bugs and bacterfa about him: if he is willing to rigk the chances of his life or limb, the law permits it. But place the same man in a city and he must be restrained in these re- pects because otherwise he offends or en- langers others. As you stand beneath the awful shadow of the Troquois disaster think for a moment how much it would have meant to this city if all reasonable precautions against fire had been prescribed by ordinance and enforced by municipal officlals. Vain is it to trust each individual to impose on himself the needed restraints. Many are ignorant of thelr necessity; indifferent " to them. Only the strong arm of municipal law can secure protection to all sgainst the ignorance or indifference ot the Individual CAPITAL A MODEL CITY. Again, the strict enfdrcement of municipal regulations means much, not merely Yor the physical safety and comfort, but also for the moral health of the community. The thought of stability in office of those charged with the duty of preserving tie public peace must be incorporated into municipal life. There g0t b be impressed upon all dweilers in & city a full consciousness of the fact that there is n power to punish, a power that endures and a power that will never let up. Believe me, there 1s more in this consclousness of the stability of power than has yet been recognized as an element for preserving the peace. In thy bility lies the secret of Washington’ muni- cipal success, and that sense of stabliity will be secured in all our :ities only when a per- manent tenure of office and eivil service re- form are established.

SURGEONS RESORT TO THE KNIFE| ‘When a Simple Home Remedy Cures. Why do physicians always advise an operation for the cure of hemorrhoids, | or piles? Are they unconsciously in- fluenced by the dicta of operating sur- geons, who stoutly assert and maintain that all other treatments are merely palliative, and that the knife affords the only means of cure? There could be no greater fallacy, as the worst possible cases of piles are permanently cured by the use of Pyra- | mid Pile Cure, which is in suppository form, is applied directly to the source of the complaint, and removes the cause, which an operation does not. “I have been a sufferer from piles for over forty years, and after trying everything I could hear or read of, without benefit or relief, I came to the conclusion to give Pyramid Pile Cure a trial, and I can truly say it has given me entire satisfaction; it is a wonder- The bleeding has entirely ceased, the protruding has stopped, there is no longer any itching, and I feel no swelling of the parts; in fact I feel like a new man. “I had to wear a truss for several years, to keep the bowel up, but I have now discarded it, after using six boxes of Pyramid Pile Cure.

SHOOP'S HUMAN BARO A Rheumn!c Mystery Here are some marvels of medicine! A dose of Aconite will climax at three o'clock in the morning. Aloes will operate at five o'clbek A. M. and Sulphur at eleven o'clock. No matter what time, m the preceding day, you have taken these medicines, they will climax at the fixed hours here stated and reveal certain symptoms al- ways. How do you account for this? How account for a Rheumatic per- son's ability to predict a coming storm 24 hours ahead, by the peculiar ache in his bones? Rheumatism is simpty Uric Acid in the blood. Can Uric Acid have its time limit, like other chemicals, but reflect- ingsbackward like a barometer? Uric Aéid is due to a lack of Alkaline materfal in the blood. This Acid absorbs the debris, or waste matter, of the sys- tem. It carries this waste matter into the blood, when there are not enough Alka- line elements (like salt or soda) to neutralize the Uric Acid, and to free the debris before it reaches the kidneys. As the blood circulates through the system, it then deposits small particles of this waste matter in the joints and muscles. These particles are like granulated sugar, or sand, and they grind between the joints and muscles at every move- ent. This grinding- cau: s intense pain and If the disease the Inflamma(lnn will cause the Uric particles to be coated with a fleshy cushion, which in time grows to the joints as well. Then “bony | be not checked, | joints” and crooked limbs ensue. The only way to cure Rheumatism is to convert the Acid condition of the into an Alkaline. Then to dis- solve, and carry away, the deposits in joints and muscles. Then, to get the digestive organs into a normal condition, so they will secrete, without further help, less Acid and more Alkalines. Upon this condition depends cure, and the permanence of cure. But—it is useless to kill Rheu- matism if we also kill the stomach in doing so. Few drugs powerful emough solve Uric Acid depesits are safe to take into the stoma: This is why so-called “quick cures” are dangerous. Rheumatism is slowly acquired, and 80, a cure cannot be expected in a few weeks' treatment, and never by external applications. The first essential in a Rheumatic cure is safety—the °second, effectiveness—the third, permanence. In a medical experience of thirty years I have known but ome remedy which combined these three qualities.
