The further inquiry was adjourned unt{l next Monday. BACHELOR OFFICERS TO HAVE QUARTERS Contract Approved for Re- modeling Old Hospital at Presidio of Monterey.

Supervisors WED ESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1906 ART DISPLAYED AT CALIFORNIA CLUB'S HOME California Club held a nice little seance with art yesterday, when the art section of the education department— Mrs. Charles Fonda leader—presented two charming lecturers, Mrs. Ermentine Poole Long on miniatures, and Mrs. Florence Eichwaldt on Russian peasant art. The art of the day—the presentation of work— consisted c¢f a collection of Lillle V. O'Ryan’s miniatures and oil portraits, the latter including a stunning picture of Wil- liam Keith, the poet-painter of the West, besides canvases of Mrs. Newell, Miss Fernanda Pratt, Mrs. Florence Porter Pfingst, Mrs. fjpomas Flynn, Mrs. M. Long, and S. Laura Bride Powers. Among the miniatures were Mrs. Samuel Holladay, the children of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Gerstle, little Miss Long, Mrs. Selby | Hanna (Marie Wells) and Miss Burke. The pictures were exhibited in the ma- hogany reception rooms, and, while not especially well lighted, were greatly ad- mired by the club members and guests— some three hundred of them. On the second floor, Mrs. Eichwaldt dis- played some superb samples of Cluny and other types of Russian laces made by the peasant Wworkers In Countess Orloff’s factory near Moscow—likewise some marvelous samples of enamel upon silver and gold, an art that has reached a singular development in the Caucasus. Altogether, the art section was especial- 1y fortunate in its presentation of work and speakers—but the element of weather had been neglected by somebody. PERSONAL. W. H.

Holmes Jr., Latell, at the Dr. August Sanguinitti, Who Mysteri- onsly Disappeared From Home, Is Sent to Agnews, Dr. August Sanguinitti, a once wealthy physician of Pueblo, Colo., was declared insane in Judge Graham's court yesterday and committed to Ag- | |news State Asylum. The commitment was made upon the evidence of the doc- tor's wife and daughter, who swore that he had made threats against their lives upon their refusal to turn over money which had been realized through the sale of certaln real estate in Colorado. Some years ago the doctor became helpless through a stroke of paralysis and spent what money he had saved traveling through Europe for his health. After his money was gone he came to Callfornla, where his wife and daughter were forced to go to work to support the family. Some months ago the doctor disappeared from his home and a mysterious letter was found from a real estate agent in Pueblo stating that he would sell cer- tain property if the doctor would send him the deeds. The matter was re- ported to the police and the dector was soon located in tHe City and County Hospital, where he had applied for medical assistance. He then confessed that he owned property in Pueblo which his wife knew nothing about, and it was the money received from the sale of this property that caused him to become violent.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY | Golden State Lhmited—The Train of ADVERTISEMENTS.

At the New York State Assembly of Mothers, a prominent New York doctor told the 500 women present that healthy | Dear ‘American women were 80 rare as to be almost extinct. This seems to be a sweeping state- ment of the condition of American |hag women. Yet how many do you know who are perfectly well and donot have some trouble arising from a derange- ment of the female o ism which manifests itself in headaches, back- aches, nervousness, that bearing-down feeling, painful or irregular periods, pelvic catarrh, displacement of the| female organs, indigestion or sleepless- ness? There isa tried and true remedy for all these ailments. Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound has re- stored more American women to health than all other remedies in the world. It regulates, strengthens and cures| diseases of the female organism as| nothing else can. For thirty years it has been curing the worst forms of female complaints. Such testimony as the following should be convincing. Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning, Ia., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “I can truly say that you have saved my life and I cannot express my gratitude to you in words. For two years I spent lots of money in doctoring without any benefit for female irregularities and I had given up all hopes of evur ‘being well again, but I was persuaded to Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound t;nabotfles have restored me to perfect hmm:.

Lydia E. Compound at once removes such troubles. No other medicine in the world hasreceived such unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine, for you need the | best. Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. The present Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, her assistant be- fore her decease, and for twenty-five years sinee her advice has been freely given to sick women. Her advice and medicine have restored thousands to health.
