As to his own case, Mr. Barnett says: “] suffered with eczems, a burning, itching, breaking out on my face for more than & year. I took treatment from physicians for several months, which did no good. I was then advised to try Cuticura. I took six bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, and used Cuticura Sozp and Ointment freely every day. I began to improve soon &fter starting to use them, and ad taken the six bottles of ent my face had become clear, I had good eolor, and all erup- tions had left me. “We use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment in our family now fo genera! use, and it keeps our skin soft and healthy.

The walls of the church were hardly dam- aged by the fire, so far as a casual inspection can reveal. ‘While the church repairs are in prog- ress the First Congregational people will continue to hold services in the Plymouth Congregational Church on Post street. —— ‘Wed Beneath Bell of Marguerites. A pretty wedding which took place last night was that of Miss Myrtle O. Baker and F. Elmer Buckman, which was celebrated at 8 o'clock at the Cali- fornia-street Methodist. Church, the Rev. Mr. Hough, pastor of the church, officiating, assisted by the Rev. J. H. N. Willlams of Simpson Memgrial Meth- odist Church. The bride, who has been for the past two years the president of the Ep- worth League of the California-street Methodist Church, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Baker and came to San Francisco about five years ago from Colorado, where Mr. Baker was Mayor of Greeley for two terms. Mr. and Mrs. Buckman left on a two weeks’ wedding journey to Vancouver and on their return will live at 1623 Euclid 1S WIFE CALLED A A FREA” William Edward Lee, an Englishman by birth and a bicycle repairer by trade, bluntly refused a divorce by Judge bard of the Superior Court yester- He failed to-make out a case :st Charlotte M. Lee, in spite of his assertions that the wife was cruel. After listening to the plaintiff tell his troubles for more than an hour the Judge said he would grant no divorce or' such grounds, and would continue the case for a month in the hope that a reconciliation might be affected. The announcement from the bench was a supprise to the fair defendant. After the filing of the complaint the wife filed a cross-complaint,. in which she contended that- her husband was cruel—that he stayed away from home when he should have been with his wife and child. If in thirty days the Lee family is.not united Mrs. Lee has the permission of the court to produce tes- timony to support her cross-complaint. The bicycle mender told a somewhat vague story of the cruelty with which he charged his wife. He said they were married in 1903 at San Rafael, and that of late his wife has been accustomed to visiting his place of businees on Stan- Yyan street. He testified further: She told me that I was no good. She said I was a freak and had a head big enough for a man six feet tall. She broke three hats when she struck me, and very often she drove me out of the store. She told me she wished she had gozd\:een divorced from her first hus- and. Two attempts were made to have me arrested. Once, just after the fire, she came to the store and abused me. I started away from her and~shoved her a little and then she went outside. Soon a soldier came in and told me I was under arrest for hitting a ‘woman. One of the police sergeants who knew me explained it to the" soldier and they let me go. Another time she tried to, have - the District Attorney have me arrested, but they let me go. On cross-examination it appeared that Mrs. Lee objected to some of her husband’s friends - because - they were heavy drinkers. Lee admitted that he tcok a drink occasionally, but sald that he had not been drunk for four years. “I will not grant this man a divorce,” said Judge Hebbard. ' “I will postpone the case for thirty days. I hope they will patch up their difficulties. If they do mot, Mrs. Lee can come into court and produce testimony to support her cross-complaint.” T Ll PR FOR TORPID LIVER Take Horsford’s Acid Phosphate.

F STILL AT 1530E. Supreme Court Fails to] Rule Whether State Can Collect Coin Due TRIAL IS FRUITLESS After lawyers all over California had taken the trouble to file briefs in what they supposed was a case to test the ability of the State to collect the collateral inheritance tax, the Su- preme Court dodged the main issue in deciding the case and left the attor- neys as much in the dark as they were before. The case, which was brought to determine the right of the State to collect the tax due at that time, was that of Oscar A. Trippet, executor of the will of Jacob Greun- dike of San Diego, against the State of California. The court holds that money for the tax is due the State, but does not say whether its collec- tion can be enforced. The original collateral inheritance tax law provided that 5 per cent of the money left by any deceased should g0 to the State. FEighteen months were allowed after the death of the man owning the property for the tax to be collected. After that time in- terest on the amount could be col- lected. » In July, 1905, a new law went into effect providing for different means of collecting this tax and entirely abolishing the old statute. No provi- sion was made in the law for collect- ing the money due the State at the time the former law was abolished. There was at that time between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 due the State. Many lawyers contended that this could not be collected, as the means for its collection ceased to exist. A definite decision on the matter was of importance, for many of the large estates of California_would be affected by it. The heirs to the Stanford estate, for instance, would escape paying eut $150,000 if the tax could not be col- lected. It was decided to make the Trippet case a test case and many lead- ing lawyers took a hand in aiding it through. When the lower court de- cided against Trippet the case was ap- pealed to the Supreme Court. Justice Sloss wrote the decision and he was supported by his colleagues. At the close of the decision are the following words, which contains the substance of the whole document: The State here is not seeking an af- firmative relief against the plaintiff. The judgment merely denies plaintiff the degree sought by him, declaring the defendant has no right to such tax. Since we have seen the defendant has a vested right to such tax, an adjudi- cation that the estate is free from any such claim would be manifestly im- proper. Whether or not there remains a legal method of collecting the tax will be a question for decision when the State seeks to enforce its right. < i e o ‘Widow Changes Her Mind. Mrs. Mary E. Treft, a widow, com- plained to the police yesterday that during her absence from her tent in Jefferson square her trunk had been broken open and a quantity of jewelry stolen. She sald she suspected James J. ‘Macdonald, another refugee, who was employed in the Southern Pacific freight sheds and had been annoying her with his attentions. Detective ‘Whitaker arrested Macdonald, who had been drunk, but Mrs. Treft declared she would not prosecute .um. She wanted him locked up till he was sober. but could find no trace of the stolen jewelry. He was locked up on a charge of drunkenness. : Nl Ry The original Vienna Cafe and Bakery, 1226 Post st., near Van Ness.
