VIGOR AND HEALTH FREE TO APPLIANCECO., 6 0’Farrell St. HEAL | from | Mrs. The Pacific Coast steamship Queen | made a braye show yesterday as she passed among the racing yachts in the bay on her way to Puget Sound ports. This is her second trip since her disastrous fire off Tillamook L'ght February 27, when fourteen persons were burned to death. She was the Queen of the Pacific when she first earound the Horntwenty-two years ago, but the name was shortened to one word. On her first trip north, with her owner aboard, she grounded on Columbia River bar and lost a por- tion of her cargo. Once she almost filled with water from an open port and she has been in collision with sev- eral other vessels. With all her misfor- tunes she sails the seas one of the ca prettiest steamers that goes in and | out of this harbor. L S Barracouta Arrives. The Pacific Mall steamship Barra- couta came in yesterday from Panama and San Diego, she having called in at the last port to repair disabled ma- chinery, which put her one day late. Dr. Estes of the wrecked Pacific Mail steamship Colon was a passenger the Central American coast. The following is the list of her cabin passengers: Julius Halle, Arthur G. Smith, Singleton Husted, Albert Linde- man, Emalia Lindeman, Theodora Pa- dilla, Mary E. Smith, Thomas Matthews, Minerva E. Ludington and Henry A. Barclay. Arthur G. Smith is an electrical en- gineer from Lima, Peru, where he has been superintending the building of an electric railroad from Lima to Callao and nearby towns. He speaks in gloomy terms of the general con- dition of Peru. The existence of the bubonic plague in the large cities of the republic is assisting in the busi- ness depression of the country. Five new cases a day is the general average of the spread of the contagion. The people are unprogressive and the splendid mineral resources are scarce- ly developed. In politics there are numerous candidates and would-be dictators ever on top. The guano beds were long ago exhausted and ' the niter deposits of Tarapaca, over which Peru and Chile fought years ago, are According to the terms of the treaty entered into between the two countries the Government which would comply with certain conditions d make a payment of £5,000,000 hould have the deposits. Peru has no money and Chile will not dig up the cash. Like two dogs In. the manger they will not pay nor will they permit each other to acquire the rich province on coinless conditions. An election in the near future will probably carry a revolution in attend- ance. P Sailing of the Acapulco. The Pacific Mail steamship Acapulco sailed yesterday for Panama and Mexi- can ports. She carried 2600 tons of freight, among which were 600 tons of flour and 1750 barrels of wine. Her cabin passengers are as follows: Peter Bryan, A. del Toro, Willlam Roach, D. W. Rohm, J. Hawkins, R. Cabrera, E. Cabrera, Joaquin Cabrera, A. L. Scott, W. Bradbury, J. T. Sullevan, George Ray Newcomb and wife, S. ran, D. B. Newkirk and wife, F. Moreno, A. Moreno and C. Seckavizza. The Newcombs had a run of it to come from Santa Cruz yesterday morn- | ing, procure a marriage license, get wedded and catch the Acapulco by automobile before she sailed. As it was the company obligingly held the steamer at the wharf forty-five min- utes for the bridal party. The ship pulled away so quickly that the rice thrown at the couple fell into the bay. Newcomb was Miss Florence Hunter of Memphis, Tennessee. They are bound for New York, the home of the groom. il LB Overdue Montebello Sighted. One more overdue ship has come in and a reinsurance of 15 per cent will be paid. It was the Montebello, 182 days out from Swansea. She was reported in sight outside the harbor and will be in port early this morning. —_— ‘Water Front Notes. The barks Greta and Kaiulani ar- rived yesterday from a somewhat long passage from Honolulu, which was caused by light winds. The Pacific Mail Company considers the bids for repairs to the freighter Algoa too high and Puget Sound con- tractors may get the work. The barkentine Tropic Bird has smoothed away her troubles and yes- terday sailed for Nome. The stevedores on the Pacific Mail docks will work to-day loading the Korea and Gaelic and discharging the Barracouta. The M. S. Dollar will sail to-day for the north where she will load lumber for China. e NEWS OF THE OCEAN. Exports by the Acapulco.

The purchase of large blocks of these stocks kept alive the impression that there was an organized movement to advance them. The operators showed some partfality for the so-called Mor- gan shares, following the large buy- ing of Reading yesterday. In com- {pany with the buying of United States Steel preferred there was a large de- mand for Pennsylvania and the rest of the list moved narrowly, but held generally above last night's level un- til the appearance of the bank state- ment, when prices slightly sagged. The market hardened in the final hours and closed steady. Clearing weather and subsiding waters in the wheat country were regarded with satisfac- tion and contributed to the firmness fof the market. Total sales of bonds, $1,008,000. —_——————— What He'd Really Do. It was a quiet Sunday morning and the children’s voices rang out clearly from the corner where they sat side by side. The little boy was only 3 years old, and his English sounded some- thing more like Hawailan than what | he meant it for, so his sister needed a | large amount of patience to coach him | in his Sunday-school answers. Some | dozens of times she had gone over the | long answers and heard his solemn ren- dering, down to the question of what | he would do if he saw God coming. “I'd fall down and worship him,” came the reply, with the perfection of much practice. At last the older child laid aside the book with a contented sigh. Her blue | ticket was assured. She took her| brother’s face between her hands and turning it up to her own asked: Now, say, sure 'nough, what would you do if you saw God coming? Not in | the catechism now. S'pose he was coming right through the door there?” The boy did not hesitate. “I'd run,” he said. And the father, who choked just then over his paper, got no sympathy from | the mother, but only the indignant re- mark: “Your children make me ashamed.”— New York Press. —_—— ‘World’s Greatest Cotton Center. While large numbers of English mer- chants are visiting *he Louisiana Pur- chase Exhibition, many American busi- ness men engaged in the manufactur- ing dry goods trade are making trans- Atlantic voyages expressly to attend | the exhibition recentl;” opened at Brad- ford, England. That market holds the record as the greatest wool center in the world. Al- though the Bradford exhibition is com- paratively limited in scope, being mainly devoted to textile industries, so diversified are the interests connected | therewith that thousands of wholesale as well as retail dealers figure it as the chief attraction of a European trip this Year. The display of wools comprehends raw materials and yarns from which such fabrics are produced. The differ- ent processes employed in manufactur- ing are shown in detail, from the time the wool leaves the sheep until it is made up in the form of dress goods and then converted into model costumes.— New York Press. —————— About Wild Indigos. An attempt has been made during the past year to collect information re- garding the wild indigos of the Madras Presidency. It is supposed that among these there is one at least of great economic value, and the search has been commenced for it. A number of plants have already been received, but, since their state of preservation on ar- rival has been almost uniformly bad, little progress has been made in the inquiry. Such indigos as the Govern- ment botanist was able to collect nn his tour have been carefully examined and sent for checking to the superin- tendent of the royal gardens in Cal- cutta, and several interesting species have been found among them. e — % IQUIQUE—Arrived May 30—Br shi, Killiecrankie. from Ponym-keley. it ailed June 1—Br bark Harold, for Victoria via Caleta Buena.

R ASHCARTS BE IN USE AUTOMOBILE WILL SOON Manufacturers Now at Work Design- ing Motor Vehicles for Street- Cleaning Department. Several manufacturers of motor ve- hicles are at work, according to Dr. John McGaw Woodbury, the Commis- sioner of Street Cleaning, trying lo‘ produce a practical truck for use in his department. The Commissioner said such a truck will have to hold from six to eight cubic yards, have a steel and water tight cover and be built low down. Manufacturers of steam, electric, pe- troleum, steam turbine and even a liquid air man are trying to win the prize by producing the best truck. No time limit has been set, and no detailed specifications have been given. “I believe within four or five years we will be able to do away with all the present horses and trucks,” said Dr. ‘Woodbury to-day, “and all we want is a practical vehicle. We want one.that will do the work and be no more ob- jectionable than the present system. “We have now 1165 one-horse carts which carry one and a half cuble yards; twenty-seven two-horse trucks which hold four cubic yards, and 1621 horses.. Our horses cost us about $250 each—the last batch $270. The advan- tages of substituting some modern power truck are so obvious that I need not dwell on it.”"—New York Evening Post. —_————————— The mineral products of the United States, which reached the billion-dollar mark in 1901, were last year $1,260,639,- 000. DA GER OF CAUSING CANCER FROM WEARING CORSETS Some Cases Reported by Noted Lone don Surgeon Are of Much Interest. R. Clement Lucas, the senifor surgeon at Guy’s Hospital, London, gives the details In a recent issue of a medical Journal of two cases treated at Guy's, in which painful operations were neces- sary to remove cancers from the breast. In the first case the patient worked at a fur factory, and “for many hours every day her arm was carried back- ward and forward in her work, and her pectoral muscle, moving to and fro while she leaned over her desk, pressed the soft tissue against the upper edge of her corset.” The second instance was similar, and the hard tumor ‘*corre- sponded exactly with the frictlon level of the upper edge of the corset as it crossed the margin of the pectorali§ major muscie.” Mr. Lucas sets forth these examples as further proofs of the theory that carcinamo (cancer) is “apt to attack those parts whose vitality has been lowered or the power of resistance les- sened by chronic irritation.” Doubtless this is the reason why “cancer of the lower lip rarely occurs except in pipe smokers.” Corset and pipe have much to answer for, so far as health Is con- cerned—especially corset. It may be laid down as a general principle that it is dangerous for any pact of the body to be subjected to chronic pressure or Irritation.
