EVERY PROMISE WAS FULFILLED The New Era Edition of The Call Failed in No Particular. I Affidavits Proving That Good Faith Was Kept With All. — — — _ ___ __ / There Was Nothing Yellow About Either the Paper or Its Circulation. In these days when yellow fakers flourish In the fields of Journalism and contest with legitimate newspapers the right to live there Is so much fraud committed in the name of Journalistic : enterprise that the public is often skep tical and Incredulous of the honesty of any newspaper that undertakes the ac j complishment of an enterprise of more I than ordinary, magnitude. So many newspapers have at one time or another announced the publi cation of some enormous edition, and SUPREME COURT ON SHARP DEALS A Very Pointed 'Decision Ren dered in a Los Angeles Land Case. It Places a Well - Known Real Estate Agent In a Bad Box. The Supreme Court has laid down a lit the law which Is likely to have a good effect upon a certain kind of land job then defaulted either in the issue of the stated number of copies, or else in the circulation of them, that all such edi tions are now watched with suspicion. Even when the edition Is issued hy a paper of such high repute for honesty that no one doubts the fulfillment of every promise made in the prospectus, there is always some faker or enemy in journalism ready to suggest the doubt. It has therefore become neces sary for even the most worthy and honorable newspapers to give proof to the public of the absolute performance of every promise made in the issuing of editions of that kind. The Call rejoices that but few per sons or papers have ever <-xpressed a doubt that th^- New Era Edition of 3",0. 000 copies was printed, published and circulated exactly as promised. This evidence of public confidence is grat ifying. XeverthHeps we feel that some positive testimony of the per formance of trw- promise should be given and therefore we publish the fol lowing affidavits: We invite close scrutiny of the state ments made: C. H. Crocker, general manager of the H. P. Crocker Company, certifies that his rnmpany made and delivered to The Call 354,500 covers for the New Era Edition. W. B. Hin chllffe, foreman of the pressroom, cer tifies that he printed 354.500 copies of the edition and delivered them to the mailing department. W. N. Donald son, superintendent of the mailing de partment, certifies that he distributed through the United States postofflce, Wells Fargo and Company's express, and the carriers In this city before De cember 30. 18P7. 354.500 copies of the edi tion, all of them properly addressed to Individuals. Every promise made in the prospec tus of the New Era Edition was ful filled. Read the affidavits. hers, known as real estate agents, who are not particular in their business meth ods. The matter under consideration grew out of a land deal in Los Angeles. ; fc. J. Bryant, who was a well and favor ably known real estate dealer in that <lty. was indicted for defrauding and Cheating Harriot E. Hoxie out of $50 on a land deal. According to the charge he Induced her to part with her money by Belling and a— lgnlng to her two promis sory notes, ma. !.■ to him by Emma A. Lewis, together with a mortgage on two i lots to secure the payment thereof. Bryant, in order to Induce the woman to j purchase, represented that the mortgaged property was good tillable land and of a j value more than sufficient to cover the The Soft Glow of the Tea Rose is acquired by ladies who use Pozzoni's Complexion Powbkk. Try it. amount of the notes; and to satisfy her he took her out into the country and showed her two pieces of land, but the lots were not those described in the mort gage, as afterward shown. In this lay the charge of obtaining money by false pretenses, for the woman took up the notes and paid over the money. To the Indictment Bryant demurred, and wus sustained by the Superior Court, contending that the fraudulent represen tation charged In the indictment related solely to the property, and did not come under the statute, as the mortgage was only a security for the payment of the note and it was not charged that the maker of the note was unable to pay the same or that the note had not been paid. The District Attorney appealed from tho order sustaining the demurrer. The Su preme Court did not sustain the lower court in its construction of the law. NO KNIFE USED! Mr. Bradensteln, 1912 Fillmore street, states that he saw Dr. Chamley, 719 Market street, remove and cure a can cer of the whole breast on his sister in-law without any pain. The lady weighed only M pounds, and did not lose 5 pounds during the whole treat ment. She was confined three months later and had a healthy child. Dr. Chamley's treatment is the mild est and most wonderful ever known. He sends a 75-page book free on cancers and tumors cured without knife or pain. • WILL CORBETT CONQUER FITZ ? What Will Happen if These Fistic Exponents Meet Again ?■ Good Reason to Believe That Our Jim Will Be Champion Once More. The lovers of fistic art are now bus ily engaged in discussing the prospective meeting of the two heavy fellows, for that event would appear to be an as sured fact judging from late develop ments in that controversy. Although Fitz is somewhat dilatory about entang ling himself in another conflict with a man whom ho has once defeated. still he no doubt will finally succumb to the matures of C'orbett if for no other rea son than that he will soon "need the money." and he can make more by this match than any other. It is more than probable that their war of words. In which they are now forcibly indulging, is but a preliminary to the more important battle that is to come. Who knows but this agitation between them is carried on for the purpose of creating interest in the affair and to assure its financial success? Both men have their devoted admirers, but it seems to be the consensus of opin ion that our Jim will be the victor in the return engagement and thus redeem hi- lost prestige. Professor Walter "Watson, who Is com petent to talk on the subject, is ni^st emphatic lp his expression of opin ion that Corbett will win the next time and advnnces the theory that this should be the outcome because experience is the best teacher, and the defeated gladiator has thoroughly learned his sa<l lesson. In his ('arson light with Fitzsimmons t 'orbett was trained entirely too Ane on account of too much hard work on the last two days of his training. He is Inclined to be somewhat vain of his physical accom plishments, and the day before the great struggle he aired them for the edification of some Eastern friends connected with the New York Athletic < - luh, and thus over-exertM himself to nn alarming ex tent. Again hf» overdid his outdoor ex«»r i is»» and tn that way left his strength on the road Instead of taking it In the ring with him. In his fight with Sharkey he made the grave mistake of not train ing at all. and with Fitzslmmons he com mitted the opposite •■rr'>r of training too much. It wr\s a fatal proceeding in the second case and came very near being so In the first The consequence was that his blows lacked steam and he was un able to finish VUz in the sixth round, as he wotiid have done had he used bet ter judgment in his training prepara tions. Another reason for his defeat can be ascribed to <'orhett not sizing: Kifz up -My. He labored under the Impres sion that the latter was a hard hitter hut not particularly clever in the boxing line, and he. therefore, was exceedingly wnrv and cautious in the opening rounds. He f"un«i <>ut. however, very shortly, thai he should have pin ss.'.l again and lust the other way. for he discovered that his antagonist developed extranrdli ary fistic ability as the rounds proceeded but his bl iwi were not very powerful ones, and all but the one that did the business were Ineffective, as Corbett's appearance after the contest Indicated. Th- ■• seems to he abundant reason for bellevine now that Corbett Is aware of his rival's deficiencies that he will, with the wisdom born of experience, take advant age of the bitter lesson he has learned. and It Is plausible to suppose that he wfil be In the proper condition to make the fleht of his lif«. and be again proclaimed champion of the world.

There is no let up to the mental suffering day or night. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of Nervous DebWity. Emissions, Lame Back and the ' various other troubles of Sexual Weakness, until It was a question whether he had not better take a dose of poison and thus end all his troubles. But providential inspiration came to his aid in the shape of a combination of medicines that completely restored his general health and enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, and he now declares that any man, young or old, who will take the trouble to send his name and address may have Free full particulars of this wonderful home treatment which quickly restored me to my full strength and vigor of youth. Now. when I say free, I mean absolutely without cost, because I want every weakened man to get the benefit of my experience. There are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures of weakened man- hood who would be cured at once could they but get such a remedy as the one that cured me.

Dear Sir: The Building Trades Council of San Francisco, in regular meeting assembled, respect fully prny your Excellency t". in your official capacity, exercise in behalf of S. D. Worden executive clemency. The Building Trades Council feels that at this time the honor of the State and liberty of the people and the faithful adminis tration of true justice Is at stake. We, your petitioners, further feel ami have heretofore demonstrated, but apparently to no purpose, that the decree of the court was a most unjust one. that the man was irresponsible and in a fair trial before a fair jury of his peers could never have been convicted of capital of fense, of which an ignominious death at the hands of the executioner is the pen alty. We therefore appeal to you as an up right man who loves Justice to use your prerogative in behalf of this man. not only in consideration of the individual's life' at stake, hut for the upholding of several principles of our land which en title all to enjoy the priceless boon of life, liberty and' pursuit of happiness.

Dlttrich was formerly the wife of Frank Gobey. he of Welsh rare bit and cocktail fame on Sutter street. In 1880 the couple were divorced and the custody of their minor child, Camille, was vested in the maternal parent. In 1893 the divorced parties entered into a contract, under which Gobey was to have charge of the child's education and bear all of the expenses of traveling, clothing, etc., until she should have, reached her eighteenth year. At the ex piration of that time Gobey agreed to restore Camille to her mother, free of expense, and for any failure to do so should be, under the contract, liable for $1000 as liquidated damages. The child became IS years of age in September. 1532. Her father offered to aliow her to return to her mother, but the young lady had a mind of her own and expressly refused to go. The mother mad" a formal demand, but Gobey failed to comply and afterward died. The executor of the estate is Jess* bey, and against him Mrs. Dittrich, the mother, began an action to recover the SlmiO as penalty for a breach of contract. The executor won. Justice Garoutte sustains the judg ment of the lower court. He holds the contract was that the father should af ford the facilities for the daughter to re turn to her mother at the time stated and could not be construed as uncondi tional, for to attempt to force the young lady to return to her mother would be \o infringe upon the former's rights, she having attained her majority. There was no reason to suppose that the contract was alternative— to return the girl to her mother at the time specified or pay $1000. Asthma, bronchitis, cum jruaranfd.

It Will eat anything of a size to find room in its elastic crop. ! This circumstance, however, gets a little ahead of the story. 1 It is a recognized fact in science that the same element enters into the composi tion of many different organisms. For in stance, that which is a portion of a cow | one season might be recognized some oth er season as a blade of grass, a flower, a mushroom, a toad, or be traced to a posi tion in some human body. On second i thought, these commonplace reflections ! are ahead of the story, too. To get down to stern realities, there was a curiosity to know what became of dead horses. In the natural course of events more or less dead horses are cer tain to accumulate, unless there be steps taken to remove them. There was a time when the deceased equine was incinerat ed. He was reduced to ashes along with the other evidences of civilization. Sud denly he ceased to appear. Either tho horse had quit dying, or a new use had been found for him. • It was learned that the dogs out at the coursing track had been induced to regard him as edible, and that properly cooked he answered the purpose of soup, entree, roast and des sert. But the owners of the dogs did not indorse this view, and one market for dead horse became stagnant. Yet the horse that had laid down the burden of life failed to appear at the .old haunts. The experts of the dumps were puzzled. Among those whose love for investiga tion led them to look into this matter was a veterinary surgeon. Others might be deluded, but he knew that horses occa sionally rested from their labors. He as certained a few things: When a horse has ceased to be useful to the extent of giv ing up the ghost, it is Idle to suppose that he vanishes into thin air. He couldn't do it. No; the custom is to ship n!m to Pet 1 aluma or some other point at which the chicken Is the staff of life, and utilize him as feed. Before shipment he la cut to convenient size. After shipment he is cut \ to bits, and by the subtile scheme of na i ture converted into eggs and broilers. The question arises, and here there shall I be no attempt to answer it. whether an egg composed of the constituent parts of what was dead horse is worthy the public confidence. Perhaps the spavined, swee nied. wind-broken horse, the horse that lies down In harness and expires, may appear again in the form of eggs and bo wholesome. Possibly the secret processes of nature may enable the tender chicken to burst from Its shell untainted of th« dead horse from which it sprang. Human judgment is weak and the human stom ach is subject to qualms. Yet when hu | man Judgment declares that horse meat, i the same havin»r become horse meat by , malady, is not fit to form the nucleus n'f generations of chickens yet unborn, tho human stomach Indorses The verdict, and : seems to have some excuse for being pos '■ itive about it.
