ADVEBTIEEKENTS 'ELECTRO-CHEMISTRY PREVENTS CONSUMPTION! Mr. F. Christoffersen, a well-known shipowner and master mariner, living at No. 333 Pennsylvania avenue, San Francisco, tells in his-testimonial, which appears below, of his prompt cure by Electro-Chemistry of a serious case of catarrh, which had at- tacked his lungs and which was rapidly running him into consump- tion. Before taking up the Electro-Chemic treatment Mr. Chris- toffersen was for four months under the treatment of two other well-known family doctors, and in spite of all these doctors could do the patient gradually and steadily grew worse. The first Elec- tro-Chemic treatment stopped the progress of his disease. MR.

Reference will probably be made in; the encampment to the vehement at-| tack of Congressman Bell on the man- the Veterans' Home at| agement’ of Yountville. Grand Army men are sur- prised that Bell's statements in th House of the reports of the Yountville institution are accessible, According to the Asso- clated Press account of what took place in the House, Bell's utterances did not reflect credit on California and were di: directors of the Veterans’ Home.

BACKUS, President Senators Perkins and Bard and Rep- resentatives Gillette, Metcalf, Need- ham, Daniels and McLachlan have been informed that during the month of March, 1804, $13,000 of pension money was paid to veterans at the home. In addition thereto the sum of $16,000 stands to the credit of pensioners in . the Mutual Savings, San Francisco | National and First National banks of San Francisco. This information will be presented to Congress in fairness to California and in justice to the Grand, Army and the management of the Vet-! erans’ Home. Whenever the fact comes to light that some prudent old veteran has saved a considerable sum of money he is surrounded by outsiders, who teil him that he is being cheated at the | home and ought to take his money and | leave. Not long ago an old soldier who came into an inheritance of $1200 from Towa was invited to make his perma- nent home at a saloon in Yountville, where the kindest treatment would be| accorded to him. The old man accept- | ed the invitation. He was treated so kindly that when all of his little for- tune of $1200 had been expended for liquor and on lewd associates the pro- | | prietor of the place hired a wagon to| have the old vet taken back to the| | home, and sent a keeper along to roll | the sick and aged bankrupt from t e | wagon to the steps of the command- | ant’s office. Incidents of this kind are not rare. The warm friends of the old soldier have no fondness for him as companion or client after his money is gone. —_———— PERSONAL. Dr. J. H.

In a few years this enterprise has gradually developed | from one solitary performing dog to a | combined circus, museum, menagerie | and hippodrome, that covers almost the entire floér of the big building on Larkin street, and the canine features | are the least important of the lot. There are highly educated horses and ponies galore, performing seals and a large and interesting collection of caged ani- mals, and the human element in the exhibition is represented by gymnasts, acrobats, equestrians and clowns, to say nothing of the “freaks” that are to be seen in the sideshows and nét to mention the hawkers and other con- circus. For that's what the one dog has grown into—a modern circus, with all the attractions thereof that adult as well as younger amusement seekers find irresistible. In the two sawdust-covered rings, upon the two bare platforms, in the great oval surrounding them and upon the gymnasium furniture hanging over them are performed many feats that are both novel and daring. The Belford family of acrobats, five in number, do difficut things that are now to San Fran- cisco, and the Lavan family of gym- nasts give an exhibition upon aerial bars and swinging trapezes which the programme does not exaggerate by de- scribing as “dauntless and death-de- fying.” Then there is a trio billed as Melnotte, La Nole and Melnotte, every member of which seems to be as much at ease while walking or dancing upon a thin and tightly drawn wire as if he m | weary, | gramme is uninterrupted and interest- | & Rowe show. to quit COFFEE when well made POSTUM B is served.

The equine features alone are worth more than the price of admission to a reserved seat. Such a bunch of pretty and talented Shetland ponies has never been congregated under any other management, and their beauty, as well as their cleverness, convey unbounded | delight to the women and children. Three elephants do a very interesting turn, and the dogs are simply immense. Between acts a lot of funny clowns keep the spectators from growing and an excellent Hfass band plays more than orthodox circus musie. From the “grand entree” to the final race of the hippodrome sports the pro- ing, and a week of big business can confidently be predicted for the Norris —_———— TENNIS MATCHES PLAYED ON CALIFORNIA COURTS .| permanent improvements Salisbury and Rolfc Beat Hill and Haight After Some Sharp Competition. Some good tennis matches were played yesterday on the California Club courts. The closest and most exciting in doubles was that between Sidney Salisbuty and Harry Rolfe and Dr. Hill and Harry Haight. The for- mer team played a faster net game than their opponents and won two close sets. Another good ™atch was that in which Rolfe and Will Allen bet, Sal- {sbury and Frank Mitchell ehsily. Mitchell was somewhat off and did not support his partner as well as usual. In singles Allen and Rolfe furnished by far the best match. Allen took two sets from his younger opponent, but had no easy time doing so. Rolfe played an excellent game, his net work being particularly good. Dr. Lovegrove and Cutter had the longest match of the day. The doctor was slow to start and lost the first wo sets. He redeemed himself by inning the next four. Gus Lisser, the promising young player of the fourth class, made a good showing against the veteran Dr. Phillip. The latter had to use all his skill to beat his opponent. Werner Stauf, the clever ex-presi- dent of the club, played a set with H. E. Punnett. Stauf has not played much in the last few months, but put up a good game. SCHOOL BOARD FILES ESTIMATE Calenlates.Amount of Money Required to Conduct Af- fairs of the Department The Board of Education filed formal- ly with the Supervisors and Auditor Baehr yesterday its estimate of expend- itures of the School Department for the | next fiscal year. The various items of the estimate have already been pub- lished exclusively in The Call and ag- gregate the sum of $1,686,805, of which $1,100,000 is for teachers’ salaries. For the board | wants $202,861, of which $195,961 is for | the repair and sanitary improvement of nearly all the schools. Supplies will | consume $118,050, and the maintenance of the children’s playground $7000. The sum of $27,500 is asked for portable schoothouses and $20,000 to equip them. In its letter to the Supervisors the Board of Education petitions that pro- vision be made for the installation of automatic fire alarms in the school buildings. The letter continues: The Department of Electricity has agreed to incorporate in its budget for the next fiscal year a sum sufficlent to install such fire alarm eystem which this department most earnestly requests your homorable body to approve and allow. It is a necessity which requires no ar- gument, as its importance as a precautionary measure against personal injury and possible loss of life is apparent. We would therefore urge upon your houorable body that you de- voto to this measure the time and considera- tion ite importance demands. In former years the Board of Supervisors included in its annual advertisement for water and gas to be furnished the municipality the requirements of the Board of Edueation in these commodities. This department would re- spectfully recommend to your honorable body that ths system be again pursued, the main reason for this suggestion being that a uni- orm rate may be thus secured, &s the rates submitted by the gas and water companies L s { Fortunes have been made in San Francisco Splemud chnncea yet remain. See ch bargains adver- tised in clauifltd ads. heretofore have been much higher for this department than those obtained by your hon- orable board. You can readlly observe the advantages to be darived by this municipality by the approval of this recommendation by your honorable body, s the saving to the tax payers would amount to Do inconsiderable sum annually. Your attention is particularly directed to the importance and necessity for the installation of modern sanitary - systems of tollets and plumbing in all of our school buildings. In submitting our budget of 1903 to your honor- able board for consideration we latd partic: stress upon this feature of modern impro ments. We wish once again to reiterate our recommendations of last year and to suggest to your honerable body that the general health of our children is of such importance that it demands that every precaution. no matter how small or great, be takem and that no e¥- penditure of public funds can be regarded wasteful or extravagant when directed tow: its_maintenance and preservation. The existing conditions in a great many of our schools, as far as the sanitary aspects are concerned, most _deplorable. urgently petition your honorabie body to ap- propriate sufficient funds to place our schools on a healthful basis, so that parents and the Health Department meed entertain no appre- hensions of children contracting iliness conse- quent upon their dance as puplls of our public school sys g inbin O Football Plans Are Changed. BERKELEY, April 2.—The plans for a new football fleld dug out of the earth and surrounded with a high em- bankment have been about abandoned by the students of the University of California. A substitute not so ex- pensive has been devised to take the place of the more bitious scheme. The revised plan calls merely for a levéling off of the Hillegass tract, which will be the site of the perma- nent stadium, and the erection of tem- porary bleachers and grandstand. This revision of the original plans was necessary for several reasons. One of these is that the time is too limited to complete the excavation and building of permanent bleachers upon the em- bankment. Another is the lack of money with which to prosecute the work.
