A CLOSE CALL But Was Saved by Timely Aid of Ismar. The case of Miss Annie L. Garrine is one of the most remarkable in Ismar's experience and fully demonstrates her marvelous power as & healer. The fol- L lowing letter from Miss Garrine clearly explains the case: Los Angeles, Sept. 27, 1904. Dear Madame Ismar: I am so thankful to you for all that you have done for me, and 1 write this to express my gratitude. A year ago I came to California from Minnesota under the impression that I was in the clutches of consumption. Three reputable physicians had pro- nounced my case hopeless as to treat- ment and advised me to travel. After coming to Los Angeles I heard of some | of your great cures. | trip to San Francisco and subjected my- | self to your skill, with the result that I | @am now entirely well. I desire that you | publish this testimonial as an aid to | other sufferers. With heartfelt thanks, I am yours, ANNIE L. GARRINE. It seems almost incredible, but there are.many other cases, even here in San Francisco, that corroborate the above and prove Ismar's ability as a healer of dis- eases. Many of the cases cured by her were pronounced’ incurable. Don't de- spair, if you are a sufferer, but see Is- mar, and if your case is curable she can ;;J‘::r"you as easily as she has cured As a seeress she is equall . remarkable insight Into the Furareo i the depicting and describing of events, easily denominates her the most remark. ?ible andShncc‘uul:e seeress of modern mes. e is [ times. 8 mown in all eivilized If you would know y: will correctly delineat It to yae 15mar Write her if you can't call.

It was in the Pacific “slreel dance hall owned and managed | by Dan Lopez that the trouble began {and the woman at the bottom of it { was the renowned Anastasia Johnson. | “Me an’ de lady wuz eatin’ pigsfeet an’ drinkin’ beer at de bah,” said Mr. | Garrett to Police Judge Mogan, ‘‘wen ;dis yah defendant butted in between us and poked his fist inter my schoon- er, w'ich was more’n half full. I ex- | posturlated, ob cohse, an' den he sez, sez he, ‘T'll slice yer a bit,’ an’ wif dat he exhibits a razzah. ‘Dat yah weapon am foolish,’” T sez, sez I.. ‘It doan skeer | me a mite,” I sez. ‘I'se ain’t trubblin’ | about yo' cuttlery, man,’ I sez, sez I, | ‘but please keep yo' han’s out ob.my | beer or suafin ez goin' ter be stahted an’ bof ob us’ll be in it.” Wif dat de flo' walker comes an’ advises me ter git out, as de Porto Ricans outnum- bahed me. ‘You git out,’” Dan sez, sez he, ‘an’ T'll hole de do' till yer gits away.” Den I bids de lady good night an’ promulates keerless-like ter de side- walk. Well, sah, I’se no sooner cut dar den de. do’ am busted open an’ out rushes de Porto Ricans. Dey all comes at me at once, wif dis yah defendant {in de lead.

I pulls a pocketknife an’ tries ter proteckt myself an’ am havin' a lively time w'en de pclicem’'n rescues me."” . Case continued till to-morrow, when the defense will try to show that prior to Mr. Garrett’s voluntary retirement from the dance hall he was twice | | ejected by Mr. Lopez for disorderly conduct. Henry Young and his wife positively identified Charles Coulter as the min who robbed the former of a diamond pin last Sunday afternoon on a Valen- cia street car and Frank Gomes and Nathan Yineberg as positively swore that at the time of the alleged robbery | Coulter was in San Jose. Judge Cabaniss velf time to ponder over the direct con- | flict of testimony. The Youngs testi- fled that Coulter stole the pin about 3 o’clock p. m. and Gomes and Yineberg averred that Coulter was seen by them in' the Garden City shortly after { o’clock p. m. on the same day. Gomes | keeps a lodging-house and Yineberg is an old resident of San Jose. | Quentin and several months ago was | arrested for grand larceny. He was convicted and sentenced to ‘four years by Superior. Judge. .Lawlor, but ap- pealed to the Supreme Court and was i released on bail. The higher tribunal sustained the lower ‘ourt, but Coulter | did not give himself up. ‘'He was ar- rested at San Jose last Tuesday for the Young robbery, Even if his alibi should stick he will be held by thesSheriff un- til Judge Lawlor again sentences him. a’ et e James Ryan, shoemaker at Sixth and Natoma streets, is such a * when intoxicated that his neighbors (never think of going to witness a funny stage performance when he is on a spree. He furnishes them with original amusement, and doesn't tax them a cent for it. One of his side- splitting capers is to alarm the crews | and passengers of passing street cars | by pretending to cast himself under the vehicles, eluding the wheels by the narrowest possible margin compatible with bodily safety. This specialty never fails to win innumerable encores. | Its attractiveness is enhanced by the fact that the performer has only one foot. His crippled condition tends to | make his seemingly miraculous escape ‘from death all the more thrilling, be- | ®ause it makes his ability to escape | appear impossible. | Having performed his street car act last Friday evening until the initiated | spectators were weakened by laugh- |ter and unable to applaud him any more, Mr. Ryan varied his performance { by arming himself with a shoe-stretch- |er and pursuing a Japanese boy who happened to fall athwart dis.'line of | vision. The little brown lad was run- ning for his life and his pursuer was uttering demoniac yells and brandish- ing his weapon when a policeman stopped the chase by arresting the | chaser and coldly declining to enter | into the spirit of the joke. Judge Mo- | gan also refused to regard the incident as humorous when it was explained to him by Mr. Ryan and several appre- ciative witnesses, and the consequence is that Mr. Ryvan awaits sentence for disturbing the peace. T Louis Perino and Gustave Swant, 17- year-old lads, were sentenced to six months’ imprisonment by Judge Mogan | after they had pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing liquors from a Pa- cific street saloon. They were booked for grand larceny, and it was in ac- cordance with the Judge's suggestion | that they pleaded guilty of petty lar- ceny. On account of their youth his Honor did not want to send them to the penitentiary via the Superior Court. PR ! Henry C. Colch, 18 years of age, who | had confessed that he robbed telephone i . cash boxes, blubbered for mercy. His mother also tearfully appealed for le- niency and offered to pay any fine the court might impose. The youth was fined $100 and the woman promptly | handed the sum to the clerk of Judge Mogan’s tribunal. . ‘While the rainstorm was raging night before last a posse of policemen toured the wharves and scooped .in all va- | grants whom they found under shelter. Five chronic vagabonds were picked up on the hay wharf, at the foot of Third street, and each of them explained that cessation of the storm and turning of the tide so that he could resume work on some ship—name of vessel not re- membered—which he had been helping to unload the previous day. They were given twenty-four hours’ apiece by Judge Mogan. 3 Lewis B.

Case dismissed. From underneath a pile of lumber on the Spear street wharf the human fer- jTets dragged Charles Hartman, a com- paratively decent appearing man, and | they did. not believe his story that he was a stranger in the city and had sought shelter there because he had no | means of hiring a lodging. “My only crime is poverty,” he said | to Judge Mogan. “It was to get shelter | from the rain that I crept under the |lumber and tried to sleep. I had no- | where else to go, for I am a stranger in San Francisco and have no money. If it is an offense to be dead broke and jhomeless I am guilty. But that I am | neither a loafer nor a thief I can | prove.” | He did prove it by showing certifi- | cates that he worked as a laborer until | sickness incapacitated him for toil, and | he was forced to spend his savings for | medical service. Then the prosecuting | policeman sarcastically remarked that | for a stranger in the city the defend- !ant showed surprising aptitude in find- | ing a sleeping place much frequented | by vagrants. “Your sarcasm is uncalled for,” said | the Judge to the officer. “If this man 1 were versed in the ways of the city’'s| | vagrants he would probably have se- | lected a more desirable shelter from the | !s[nrnl than was afforded him by a lot of loose planks. He has proved that he is not a professional vagabond, and as this court does not regard either his| unavoidable illness or resultant poverty , | as a crime he is discharged. Every one | cannot escape adversity, you know, or | be & policeman.” They found Neil Gilman nestled amid | a heap of scrap iron upon the Folsom street wharf, and he was so drunk that he did not know the rain was drenching him. He will be sentenced to-morrow. s s | May Boyce said that the whisky she | drank was imbibed for medicinal pur- poses, and it must have been the sud- | den fall of the barometer that affected her so, for she did not drink enough of the liquor to make her as helpless as| she was when Patrolman Skelly found her clifiging to a Fourth street lamp | post at 2 o'clock a. m. yesterday.

Deficit in Pension Coin| The fact that there is a deficit in the Firemen's Pension Fund which has pre-% vented the payment of the pensions for | June is causing considerable unfavor- | able comment among those interested. | | It is claimed on alleged legal grounds | | that the Board of Supervisors in | neglecting to provide a sufficient appro- | priation yearly to pay the pensions has | | repeatedly violated the charter, whlch; makes it mandatory upon the board to! make the necessary provision for the| purpose. Section 2 chapter 7 of the| under the caption of “Fire- men’s Relief Fund,” reads as follows: | “There shall be annually levied, col- | lected and apportioned to the Firemen's | Relief Fund a tax sufficient to meet and pay all demands upon said fund | for the purposes set out in this chap- | ter.” 1 The memberg of the Board of Fire| Pension Fund Commissioners charge pay the pensions, despite the plain| provisions of the charter on the subject. It is said that in accordance with the | charter provisions the Pension Com-;‘ | pervisors to appropriate $26,000 for pen- sions, but $19,000 only was allowed for 1903-1904. This resulted in a deficit of more than $4000, and for a time it was | June would not be paid. The Fire Com- ance of the pensioners and contributed | a sum saved in the salary account to pay the May pensions. Section 7 of the chapter mentioned provides.as follows: “The Pension Commissioners shall quired to pay all demands on the Fire- fiscal year and certify the same to the Supervisors in connection with and as part of the annual appropriation of the | Fire Department.” 1 Such an estimate has been regularly | filed with the Supervisors, but has been | invariably cut down, resulting in a de- | ficit. The only expense attached to the matter is the payment of $50 monthly for a secretary and for printing. Should | be carried over to the appropriation The Commis- pleasure of the Supervisors’ Finance Committee to make up the balance of about $1400. ————— RUSH IT.
