Buying orders for all securities poured in In great volume In the prin- cipal active stocks enormous blocks fre- quently changed hands, marking the concentrated tions in them. This was especially true of United States Steel preferred, Penn- sylvania, Southern Pacific and Louls- ville and Nashville. The opening in United States Steel preferred was of 10,000 shares sold simultaneously at variations of 3% in price. The accom- panying large operations in Pennsylva- nia and in Southern Pacific were at- tributed to the revived interest in the market of a veteran operator who made a favorite of those stocks in pre- vious movements and who was intrust- ed with the management of the flota- tion of the United States Steel securl- ties. Louisville and Nashville became very feverish in the final dealings, rushing up to 137 by half-point jumps | and relapsing by the same intervals to 135%. The churning up of this stock oc- casioned a belief of revived operations in the stock under the auspices which resulted in the passing of control. That there was enormous profit tak- ing, conducted parallel in the advances in special stocks, was very obvious, not only in the uneven manner of the rise, but in the actual reactionary tendency at some points, notably among other specialties which came into new prom- inence during the week. The bank statement showed only a small part in the expected cash gain. The market closed excited but somewhat Irregular. Total sales of bonds, par value, $3,- 925,000. A broad and active market has pre- vailed during the week for all varieties | of securities, and the average tendency has been upward through the oppos |tion of some very heavy selling of stocks to realize profits on the rise. Speculation has shifted from one to an- industrials coming in for an unusual share of attention as the week pro- gressed. The foundation of the market was crops, the continued promise of an un- character of the opera-| other quarter of the list, the low-priced | the practical making of the grain | Evelyn Munson, 17 years of age and very pretty, unfolded a rather ro- mantic bit of autobiography yester- | day ere Police Judge Cabaniss sent her | to the Superijor Court for trial on the | charge of having robbed Nels Carlson | of about $400 cash and several valu- | able nuggets. | Ehe was parentless when a well- known Los Angeles attorney adopted | her, she averred, but the comfortable | home, good education and Christian training which he was giving her did not provide sufficient excitement, so | she ran away to Mexico, donned cow- | boy garb and became a cattle puncher. When the novelty of the vocation | lapsed and its hardships began to pall | she decided to return to feminine ap- parel and civilization, and soon after- ward found herself in proper attire and wondering where she would go when she ventured forth from the Ferry Station, San Francisco. It was then she first met Nels Carlson. He courteously asked her, in mutilated English, if she would llke to accom- pany him to the Chutes, incidentally | adding that he, too, was a stranger in the great city and yearning for con- genial companionship. The protracted | deprivation of masculine notice to which the girl had been subjected by { his “basket grip” on a bench in the| | | reason of her vaquero costume made | Mr. Carlson’s society all the more en- gaging, and his invitation was accept- ed on the spot. Together they went to the Chutes, and together they enjoyed all the vehicles of popular recreation there provided. When they returned to town, the purse of Mr. Carlson, con- taining the double-eagles and the un- minted gold, was slyly stolen from his pocket by the girl. She fled with her plunder to Santa | Cruz, but was arrested and brought back. Confessing her crime, she de- clared that faintness overcame her when she opened the purse and saw what it contained, as she had imagined that it held only a few silver dollars. However, instead of returning the gold to Mr. Carlson she spent all except $190 of the coin for clothing and gew gaws. If she had not been penniless and a stranger in town, she pleaded, | nothing could have induced her to be | Mr. Carlson’s companion long enough to find opportunity to rob him, as his ! manners did not improve with ac- quaintance. His was a nature of coarse fiber, she declared, and innate refine- ment such as she possessed could not be sufficiently compensated pecuniarily ifor enduring his general uncouthness one entire evening. He told her he had amassed vast wealth in the Klon- dike, and invited her to go there with him, promising that he would soon | make her independently rich. Before she had time to give the proposal a moment's consideration he robbed it of charm by adding that any good-look- ing and ordinarily bright young wom- an could hardly avoid making a for- tune in the underworld of Yukon so- | ciety. | Mr. Carlson informed the court that while he had relished Miss Munson's company, he did not think it was worth what it ultimately cost him. Ay ban hav goad time,” he elucidat- ‘bot ay pay toe moch foar at.” | The girl's bail was fixed at $1000, | and she was unable to furnish it. » e e Madame Marie Faux and Madame Angela Forget—pronounced Forgay— ADVERTISEMENTS.

Sl e “This cop’s a purty fresh guy,” sald Mary Lang, alluding to the policeman who arrested her for selling liquor without a license in her apartment at 418 Kearny street. Asked by Judge Mogan to be more lucid, Miss Lang pursed her lips, tossed her head, winked knowingly at the bench and sald, “Never mind; when the proper time comes I'll have my say to say.” Then the Judge inquired if she would be ready to say her say to-morrow and she answered in the affirmative.

P ‘While the French ship Guerveur lay at Howard street wharf Joseph Terrin, an able seaman, suddenly became mu- | tinous and kicked in the cabin door in | order to reach Captain Adolph Carbinis, | whom he intended to attack. Other officers of the vessel overpowered the frenzied mariner, manacled him and had him in ifrons twenty-four hours when one of his messmates went ashore and told Patrolmen Dower and | McGrath of the occurrence. They promptly went aboard, released the prisoner and then took him to the Har- bor station and booked him for mali- | cious mischief and disturbing the peace. When the case came up before Judge Cabaniss the master of the ves- sel claimed sole right to the defend- ant’'s custody, as the latter's offense was committed on a ship carrying the | French flag and it was the captain’'s intentian to have the offender tried and punished in France. The Judge then | sentenced the defendant to fifteen days’ imprisonment in order to give the French Consul time to take whatever | action he deemed proper in the prem- dses. An attorney for the defense made | strenuous objection to the ruling, which, he alleged, would be likely to | result in most serious. International | complications.

It was the universal spring and fall “blood puri: tonic and cure-all, | and mind you, this old-fashioned rem- edy was not without merit. The idea was good but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity had to be taken to get any effect, Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects of sulphur in a palatable, con- centrated form, so that a single grain | is far more effective than a tablespoon- ful of the crude sulphur. In recent years research and experi- ment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use is that obtained from Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold |in drug stores under the name of Stuart’s Calcium Wafers. They are small chocolate coated pellets and con- tain the active medicinal principle of sulphur in a highly concentrated, ef- fective form. Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health; sulphur acts directly on the liver and excretory organs, and purifies and en- | riches the blood by the prompt elimin- ation of waste material. Our grandmothers knew .this when they dosed us with sulphur and molas- ses every spring and fall, but the cru- dity and impurity of ordinary flowers of sulphur were often worse than the dis- ease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart’s Calclum | Wafers are undoubtedly the best and most widely used. They are the natural antidote for | liver and kidney troubles and cure con- stipation and purify the blood In a way that often surprises patient and physi- cian alike. Dr. R. M. Wilkins while experiment- ing with sulphur remedies soon found | that the suiphur from Calcium was su- perior to any other form. He says: “For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting from consti- pation or malaria, I have been sur- prised at the results obtained from Stuart’s Calclum Wafers. In patients suffering from boils and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have re- peatedly seen them dry up and disap- pear in four or five days, leaving the skin clear and smooth. Although Stuart’s Calcium Wafers is a proprie- tary article and sold by druggists, and for that reason tabooed by many phy- siclans, yet I know of nothing so safe and reliable for constipation, liver ana kidney troubles and especially in an forms of skin disease as this remedy.” At any rate people who are tired of pills, cathartics and so-called blood “purifiers,” will find in Stuart’s Cal- cium Wafers a far safer, more pala- table and effective preparation. averred that Mrs. Seal smote him with a broom handle and threw dirty water upon him while his back was turned toward her. As for the $1 50 which Mrs. Gray had refused to pay him, he did not care one snap of his finger for that. What he did object to was the way in which the women treated him after he had delivered the washing and mildly endeavored to collect the money. He was retreating in a most orderly manner, more pained than angry, when the broom and the unclean aqua visited | him. No, he had not drawn a knife, because he had no knife to draw. Judge Mogan deemed Mon Lee’s un- supported testimony inadequate to off- set the two statements for the prose- cution, and next Saturday the defend- ant will be sentenced for disturbing the peace. Maggie Flores, who has been a va- grant longer than some of the oldest members of the police force profess to remember, got her third six months' sentence within the last thirteen months from Judge Mogan yesterday. Her prior convictions fill half a page of the offigial record. . Xavier Mefret, secretary of the Club des Fumistes, 102 O'Farrell street, is accused of embezzling $30 of the organ- ization’s funds.
