POACHING OR POTTING
Ibis Gun Club of Colorado
Obtains an In
junction
AGAINST THE MALLARDS.
Metropolitan Nimrods Devise a
Means of Outgeneraling
State Law.
NEW PHASE OF THE DUCK WAR.
How Hall McAllister and Mr. Lake Say
They Were Rudely Deprived
of a " Blind."
Hunters of Solano County who dwell in
and about Benicia hold that the Suisun
marsh is the common hunting ground of
humanity, and that all persons, without
regard to caste or coin, are privileged to
take a shot there at a duck or a dude.
When the southeaster comes the ducks
fly high and fly low over the marshes, and
the Benicia sportsman in quest ot the
winged game halts not at the presence of
the gilt-edged city olub, but roams on the
marsh wherever be pleases. Occasionally
encounters occur between city club mem
bers and the resident hunters, but the past
receds of shooting show that the casual
ties are all on the side of the city hunters.
The sportsman born and bred in sight of
the marsh likes to vary his sport by taking
a shot now and then at the hunters
from the metropolis.
For many years the hunters of San
Francisco and Oakland have been trying
to establish preserves for their own special
u-e, and the attempt to introduce this
custom in the domain of Solano
County ha? caused much of the existing
strife. Failing in the State courts to get a
full acknowledgment of property rights
and a full measure of protection in the
enjoyment of their possessions, quite a
number of metropolitan nimrods organ
ized the Ibis Gun Club and incorporated
under the laws o; Colorado. Thus incor
porated, the club, which is in fact com
posed of Californians, is able to proceed
against Benicia trespassers in the Federal
courts, and will doubtless secure the as
sistance of Deputy United States Mar
shals to stand off the wide-ranging sports
men of Solano County.
Yesterday in the Circuit Court of the
United States, Ninth District, Judge
Beatty granted a temporary injunction
in f3vor of the Ibis Gun Club to restrain
Bernard Devlin, Edward Geary, David
Beverid^e, William Greenwood, J. 1..
Hughes, E. M. Wilson, V. Harner, Allen
Hathaway, Edward Morton, A. Dalton, R.
L. Eaton, John Lee and John Lee Jr.,
members of an unincorporated association
known as the Mallard Club, from trespass
ing on the premises of the Ibis Gun Club.
The respondents are required to appear
before the court on January 30 to show
cause why they should not be permanently
enjoined.
Complaints and affidavits were sub
mitted by Charles P. Eells, solicitor for
complainant. The affidavits, if not rich
and racy, are readable, inasmuch as a
number of witnesses swear to the aggress
ive activity of the Benicia hunters.
James H. Brundage, steward of the
Teal Club, mentions R. J. Sorger,
Frederick English of Oakland, V. Harrier
of Vallejo, Charles Dietz, liloyd Eaton,
Robert Van Norden and Donald McCreaof
San Francisco and Bernard Devlin of
Benicia as members of the Mallard Club.
He swears that the Mallard Club is
avowedly and confessedly a poaching
organization, formed for the purpose of
shooting upon other people's property and
in defiance of the owners' wishes.
Franz Van Peet, head keeper of the Ibis
Gun Club, fires an affidavit into the con
troversy. He swears: "That on one occa
sion, when John M. Orr and N. H. Mc-
Allister (one of the members of the Ibis
Gun Club) were shooting on the lands de
scribed in the complaint, two men, namely,
Geary and Eaton, came from the Mallard
Club ark, and likewise stood within a few
yards cf McAllister and within gun range
of Orr, and by boisterous shouting and
shooting of guns drove away and disturbed
the game for several hours, for the avowed
and expressed purpose of destroying the
eport of said McAllister and Orr."
It is further set forth in the affidavits
that John Lee of the Mallards has main
tained in the Cordelia Siough a yacht,
namely, the Frolic, and has the steam
launch Bob as a tender. Parties from the
yacht are accused of invading the Ibis Gun
Club possessions and of refusing to de
camp when ordered to leave.
Affidavits of John M. Orr and K. Hall
McAllister tell of instances of invasion
by the Mallards. On one occasion Hall
McAllister took his friend, F. B. Lake, to
the marsh as guest of the Ibis Gun Club.
A good, nice blind in the marsh was
specially reserved by Mr. McAllister for
bis guest, Mr. Lake; but to the utter
amazement of the host and the guest they
found the reserved blind occupied by
the defendant McDonald and one Collins.
The conclusion of the story is thus told
by Hall McAllister in his own affidavit:
"Said Collins and McDonald refused to
abandon said blind or shooting stand when
requested to do so and rudely and violently
persisted in remaining there and shooting,
excluding said Lake therefrom. That af
liant himself went to said McDonald and
Collins and expostulated with them and
they refused to go away or to allow said
l^ake to shoot, and they persisted in re
maining there tor several hours."
It is not in the affidavit that any of the
Benicia crowd saiil, "Lake shoot or give
up the gun," and furthermore is not stated
what Lake and McAllister did for pleasure
when McDonald refused to vacate the
blind.
Some of the Benicia people involved in
this controversy and affected particularly
by chis injunction are quite well known.
Mr. Dalton is the editor of the Benicia New
Era, Bernard Devlin is a Supervisor of
Solano County, E. If. Wilson was formerly
Treasurer of the county, and F. Pico is pro
prietor of the Palace Hotel at Benicia.
HAIGHT-STEEET SCHOOL.
Work Almost Completed— Will Relieve
the Pressure.
The completion of the new Haight
street Grammar School, which will come
about in a few days, is being looked for
ward to by Superintendent of Schools Bab
cock as a solution of the present over
crowded condition of the Crocker School.
The classes of the latter school will be
split up sp that the teachers of both insti
tutions of learning will have an average
number of pupils under their care.
The Board of Education is about ready
to begin wotK on the Sunnyside school
house, which was decided on a few days
ago, but is waitinz to see whether the
Sunnyside Land Company will donate a
lot, a'matter which it is considering.
Beginning with January 1 Superinten
dent Babcock intends to hold regular
weekly meetings with the teachers of the
different grades and discuss classwork and
lay plans for the betterment of the educa
tional system of the department.
WILL FIGHT HARD.
Thr Poolroom Cases Continued—lndica
tions of the Defense That Will
Be Introduced.
The poolroom men will make a desperate
effort to break the poolroom ordinance.
They have engaged some of the best legal
talent in the City and will die a hard death.
Julius Kahn, representing Harry CorbetU
James McCann, Jerry Driscoll and M.
Levy, appeared in Judge Joachimson's
court and entered a plea of not guilty.
Trial by jury was waived and the case con
tinued until January 3. \
In spite of the conviction of George
Givens the present defendants feel con
fident of acquittal. It is probable that a
negative defense will be made. Relying
upon the law, which says it is not for the
criminal to prove his innocence, but man
datory for the prosecution to establish
guilt, trie pool-sellers will claim that the
money collected at the downtown pool
rooms was sent to the track, and there the
bets were made. The prosecution must
produce evidence to the contrary.
"There are a thousand ways," said Attor
ney Kahn yesterday, "to circumvent the
ordinance. I find that it is not necessary
that a commission be paid. It is only nec
essary that the money be placed at the
track. If it can be shown that no money
was sent to the track by the pool-sellers,
then a conviction will follow..'
A SELLER OF BAD BOOKS
Warren E. Price, Proprietor of a
Market-Street Store, Ar
rested.
Was Decoyed by the Postal Inspectors
and Caught Using the Mails in
His Business.
Warren £. Price, proprietor of the
Paper-covered Book store at 1203 Market
street and publisher of several monthly
periodicals, was arrested by the Federal
authorities yesterday for using the mails
in connection with the marketing of publi
cations of a questionable character.
The postal laws forbid the use of the
mails for the circulation of literature of a
vijje character, and Price was caught by
Postal luspector James W. Erwin by
means of the customary decoy tactics.
Price's case is of the same ciass as those
of Solomon Levin and Isidor C. Wood, two
dealers now serving sentences in the Ala
meda County Jail. The boots which
these men were the means of distributing
for the revenue that was in the business to
them were such as F. W. Broback, the
Ukiah publisher, arrested Monday, pro
duced. Levin, Wood and Price were evi
dently all Datrons of the same producer.
Inspector Erwin corresponded as "I.
Schwartz' (a dealer in cigars and books),
and dated his lett ers "Crescent City. Cal."
The mythical 'I. Schwartz" asked for a
list of such books as Price could supply
with his quotations of prices for dealers.
Price took the bait, and in his reply to a
second letter gave quite a list of filthy
books with their prices.
In his lirst letter Price informed
"Schwartz" that the books "would have
to go by freight or express, as sach books
cannot go through the mails.'' He re
ceived a sum of money in a reeistered let
ter from "Schwartz," and also ttie instruc
tions, in a line by itself at the bottom of
•'Schwartz's" letter, "Sena by express."
Price sent several books, but did not heed
the instruction. He was foolish enough to
send them by mail.
Mr. Erwin had sent $5 to Price to pay
for copies of a particularly vile work. This,
Price replied, he did not have in stock at
the time, but he expected to be able to
accommodate his correspondent later.
However, Mr. Erwin concluded he had
evidence enough, so the money, upon re
quest for it, was returned in a letter which
Price posted at station B.
Deputy United States Marshal Moffett
arrested Price at his store. The circum
stance of the "Schwartz" correspondence
was recalled to his mind, and he felt en
lightened enough to ask for a continuance
so as to get time in which to prepare a de
fense. Jndge Heacock granted him until
Thursday and lixed his bail at $3000.
The postal authorities feel that they
have a complete chain of evidence against
Price. They will not rely upon anything
but such publications as anj* jury will have
to pronounce obscene, and upon these
they will base their case.
Price was considered to be a very up-to
date dealer. He published a monthly
magazine known as the "Book and News
Dealer," and in a recent number of it he
took occasion to severely criticize the le
gitimate local press for some things which
Price considered improper.
Price was largely instrumental in the
conviction of Solomon Levin, the Stockton
street dealer. He looked upon Levin as a
rival, and a very incautious one, and he
sent an anonymous letter to Mr. Erwin at
the time containing a lot of Levin's circu
lars.
He was a very cunning man himself, but
he has fallen into the trap at last. He had
a supreme contempt for the powers and
methods of the Society for the Suppression
of Vice. On one occasion he explained his
contempt in th>s wise:
"Secretary Kane says "we must not put
them (the questionable books) in the win
dow. Come inside if you want to see."
Dr. Dio Lewis said that ankles should
not be closely fitted because a ligature
about the blood vessels, muscles and ten
dons must produce weakness. Cloth
uppers should be worn in warm weather,
because the porous texture permits evapo
ration and cools the feet. Rubbers should
not be worn except under most excep
tional circumstances, because they pro
duce tenderness. Walking he regarded as
a most important means of health, and he
said that shoes should be such as to per
mit easy walking and good circulation.
So long as women walk on the same earth
as men, Dr Lewis said, their stockings and
boots should be as thick and warm. Dr.
Lewis aH vised that children should be
allowed to run in the garden without
shoes in summer, "with their little feet in
loving contact with the bosom of mother
earth."
A chance observation has made it pos
sible to express the force of a stroke of
lightning in horsepower. During a re
cent storm which passed over Germany a
bolt struck a wooden support in a dwell
ing, and in the top of this column were
two wire nails five thirty seconds of an
inch in diameter. T..e electric fluid
malted the two nails. instantly. With the
largest furnace now in existence it would
be impossible to melt iron in this short
time. It is calculated that the bolt was of
50,000 horsepower.
Fire! Fire! That Dreadful Cry
ta fraught with import doubly dire to the unhappy
man who beholds bin dwelling or his warehouse
feeding the devouring elemen: uninsured. Hap
pily most people who can, Insure— everything hut
health. Nine-t? nttis of us neglect the preservation
of this when it is in palpable jeopardy. Incipient
indigestion, liver complaint, In erippe, inaction of
the kidneys and bladder and malaria are all coun
teracted by Hostetter'a stomach Bitters.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1895.
TIME FOR THE PORTERS
Many Merchants Express Sym
pathy for the Embar
rassed Firm.
AID PROFFERED IN THE EAST.
Friends Rally About Porter Bros. &
Co. and Promise to Lend
Assistance.
Throughout the entire "street" there is
only sympathy expressed for Porter Bros.
& Co., the commission and dried-fruit mer
chants at 315 Davis street, who closed their
doors yesterday morning and intend to
ask an extension of time from their cred
itors. A talk with the firms that are most
largely interested revealed the fact that
the extension of time would, without
doubt, be granted and the tirrn enabled to
continue business as before.
"Not in years has there been such an
other failure in Sun Francisco," said Frank
Johnson of the Johnson-Locke Mercantile
Company. "The firm of Porter Bros. &
Co. is surrounded by friends both here and
throughout the United States who will all
do what they can to put them on their
feet again. Had the firm gone to the
houses they owed and asked for time I am
satisfied the step they have taken would
not have been found necessary. As it is,
you may be sure they will get all the time
they may ask for."
Mr. Kunyon of McDonough & Runyon,
412 Davis street, said that all latitude com
patible with business methods would be
granted the embarrassed tirm.
"They will require considerable time,"
he said, "as the kind of goods they handle
cannot be marketed hastily without loss.
Undf r any circumstance?, the firm would
be the best enabled to dispose of the goods
because of their many connections. We
know the kind of men the Porter brothers
are and are willing to trust them."
Rosenberg Brothers & Co., 27 California
street, said: "You will not hear a harsh
word ajxmt Porter Brothers & Co. on the
street. We are willing to grant them any
time in reason."
This statement was echoed by Mr. Till
man of the rirm of Tillman '& Bendel,
wholesale grocers.
"We have always found them fair and
square in every particular," said he. "We
will certainly agree to grant them a rea
sonable extension of time."
The Gray Harbor Commercial Company,
from which Porter Bros. & Co. purchased
their boxes, are large creditors. They
spoke highly of the firm and sain they had
no doubt of time being granted. ~8. J.
Smith of Smith's Cash Store said the
Porter brothers were good men to deal
with. He declared that he was not at all
troubled by the account owed him aud
would not probably attend the meeting of
the creditors.
The largest creditor of the tirm is the
Sather Backing Company, with which
Porter Bros. »fc Co. banked. James K. Wil
son, the president of the bank, expressed
great sympathy for the brothers Porter.
He said:
''There is no question as to the integrity
of the men. They are held in the highest
opinion and their credit has always been
of the best. The trouble has been, 1 think,
that they have made advances which they
were not able to get hack in time.
"The officers of our bank have not had a
meeting to consider the matter yet, so I
cannot say as to whether the extension of
time will be granted or not. But if the
firm can make us a representation that
will show such a step to be advisable the
request will be acceded to."
Mr. Field of Field <fc Strong, another
creditor of Porter Bros. & Co., declared
that not only was he willing to give them
all the time they wanted, but he was sure
every firm Porter Bros, owed would feel
the same way. It was not only in local
circles that this feeling was general. The
morning papers of the entire country cave
the news of the suspension. Before noon
telegrams had t>een received by the em
barrassed rirm from nearly every State in
the Union. Some offered assistance. Some
cave assurance that goods would not be
sacrificed. All tendered sympathy.
The following will indicate theattitude
of the Eastern connections of the house:
New York, N*. V., Dec. 27, 1895.
If desired, one of our firm will leave at once.
Can perhaps assist you. U. H. Dvvlt.y& Co.
Pueblo, Colo., Dec. '27, 1895.
Wo regret very much your misfortune. Hope
you will come out in good shape. We want to
continue with you. X. C. Barwise & Co.
Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 27, 1895.
There will be no sacrificing here. You have
our earnest sympathy and good wishes.
P. DtFF <fc Sons.
Dallas, Tex., Dec. 27, 1895.
We deeply regret to learn of your trouble. If
we can assist you by using extra efforts, mak
ing sales or any other way, let us know.
>i< '.'lellan &. Greek.
Chicago. Dec. 27, 1895.
Regret exceedingly your troubles. Will
handle goods discreetly without sacrificing.
W. S. Knight & Co.
Chicago, 111., Dec. 27, 1895.
Deepest regret to .earn of your trouble.
Hope untrue. If anything I can do, command
me. Edgcomb & Co.
Milwaukee, Wis., Dec. 27, 1895.
Hope nothing serious. Will do best I can for
you. \Y. H. Stevens.
Chicago, Dec. 27, 1895.
Sympathy and the hope you will speedily
resume expressed by all. W. S. Knight & Co.
Mr. Porter was not prepaied yesterday
to make a statement as to the assets and
liabilities of the firm. He said that if the
firm were given time on its heavier obliga
tions it would be able to resume business
and be on as firm a footing as ever inside
of six months or a year.
KINDERGARTEN CHRISTMAS.
The Young People of the Silver-Street
Association Celebrate.
On Thursday morning the children of
the Silver-street kindergartens welcomed
a large and enthusiastic audience to their
Christmas exercises. The programme of
songs and games was excellently carried
out, and the little ones were radiant with
happiness, as each received an armful of
Christmas treasures from the heavily laden
tree.
Silver-street Kindergarten Association
established the first kindergarten west of
the Rocky Mountains and placed it in
charge of Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggin— then
Miss Kate D. Smith— whose writings, to
gether with those of her sister, Miss Nora
A. Smith, have made the school on Silver
street famous throughout the world. The
following was the programme:
Song, "Welcome"; prayer. "Father, We thank
Thee" ; prayer, "Birds and Bees and Flowers" •
carol, "Why Are the Joy Bells Ringing?" carol
"Bells of Christmas"; song, "Merry Christmas
Has Come"; game, "Butter-making," Crocker
class; game, "Rainbow Fairies'; game, "Au
tumn Babies," Peabodv class; finger song
"Merry Little Men"; song, "Presentation
Song": recitation, selected; song, "The Won
deriul Tree"; song, "Good-by"; distribution
of presents.
DUPONT-STREET BONDS.
The Principal Will Become Due on
July 1, 1890— Money on Hand to Pay.
Tne Legislature, by an act approved
March 23. 1876, authorized San Francisco
to issue $1,000,000 of twenty -year bonds,
drawing 7 per cent interest, to pay for
widening Dupont street. In the courts
the validity of the bonds was questioned,
and much of the money collected for in
terest and redemption was paid under
protest. Money not paid under protest
has been used from time to time in the re
demption of bonds. All the outstanding
obligations of interest and principal be
come due July 1, 1896, and there is now in
the treasury $950,000 to liquidate the debt.
The first semi-annual payment of inter
est was made January 1, 18S7, and the
fortieth will fall due July 1, 1896.
FOR WORKING WOMEN.
Committees Appointed and Prepara
tions &fade for the Reception.
Satisfactory progress is being made in
preparation for the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union reception to working
women at 132 McAllister street on New
Year's day.
The hours have been set from 2 to 9
P. M. in order to accommodate all who de
sire to attend. Invitations will be dis
tributed personally, as far as possible,
1000 having been already struck off for
that purpose.
There will be a programme consisting of
music, recitations and addresses and re
freshments will be served. ___ _
The reception is the plan of Mrs. J.
Clifford, State superintendent of the labor
department of the W. C. T. U., and Mrs.
W. K. Harmish, who has charge of the
same department in this County.
The reception committee will consist of
the president and secretary of all the local
unions. The ladies acting in that capacity
are: Mrs. D. J. Spencer, Mrs. L. J.
Drumra, Mrs. H. H. Luse, Mrs. S. B.
McCoy, Mrs. F. S. Vaslit, Mrs. C. B.
Williams, Mrs. In<>z Fredericks. Miss S.
M. N. Cummings, Mi«s N. M. Carver, Mrs.
Samuel Fear. Miss Florence Colby, Mrs.
Anna Little Barry, Mrs. A. L. Jenness,
Mrs. A. W. Kerrigan, Mrs. Hodgen and
Mrs. Henrietta E. Brown.
TO PASS ON THE TARIFF
State Horticultural Society to
Investigate the Ways and
Means Report.
J. C. Shinn Finds Early Pruning Pro.
duces Better Fruit and Is
More Economical.
The State Horticultural Society has ap
pointed B. M. Lelong, B. H. Upham and
B. N. Rowley a committee to examine the
report of the Congressional Committee on
Ways and Means and if anything be found
therein prejudicial to the interests of Cali
fornia to report the same to one of the
representatives of the Golden State now in
Washington, with a request that such ob
jectionable portion be either eliminated or
modified. The committee will meet for
such consideration to-day and telegraph
the result of its deliberations to the Na
tion's capital.
This action was taken at the regular
monthly meeting of the society, held at
the Mills building ye s-terday afternoon.
S. P. Sanders read a parser on ''Pruning
the Prune.' His plan is to reduce the
bearing wood and thus get large fruit and
enable the tree to support it without
breaking. His experience as narrated
fully justified the practice.
"Early Pruning" was the subject of J.
C. Shinn's paper, in which he advocated
pruning in the summer and early fall in
stead of winter, according to the old prac
tice. He finds the trees bear as well or
better by such a system and the work can
be done more cheaply at that time.
B. N. Rowley gave the results of a
symposium of "local and Eastern fruit
traders on the relative merits of packages,
boxes and sacks, the consensus of opinion
being in favor of boxes "if honestly
packed." This led to remarks by Mr. Le
long and others strongly condemnatory of
the practice of dishonest packing.
"The establishment of a free market in
San Francisco"' and "Barrel-packing for
California apples" will be the subjects for
discussion at the next meeting, to be held
the last Friday in January.
ABOUT BATH BOOMS.
Americans Lend the Modern World in
Making Ibem Attractive.
The modern bath room is a superfine
reflection of the Roman bath, wherein a
luxurious people took their "tub" once a
week. Perhaps it was oftener, but the
parade they made over a visit to the
famous public baths leads us to presume
that once in seven days was as
much as the majority of the populace
could endure. The chappies and smart
ies—that is the members of the so-called
"amart set" of the period — as history re
lates, indulged in frequent bathing, and
they originated a taste for water which
eventually spread over Europe with more
or less success. But water was a scarce
commodity, and the rivers or mountain
springs were choked with ice in winter, so
it is not surprising that the baths built by
the early Romans fell into desuetude, even
in England, where cleanliness was in its
infancy. The Saxons, however, must have
been impressed by this trait of the crum
blinc Roman empire, for, though they ■
covered up all traces of the newly con
structed baths, tliey early gained a repu
tation for "tuobing" that will survive our
present day.
Real lovers of the bath, however, origi
nated in Eastern lands, where personal
cleanliness, entering as it did into religious \
rices, was literally next to godliness. That I
pallid love of the" bath developed centuries
later into a passion among refined peoples.
Civilization— and shall it be said the dis
covery of America?— has lent a novel aspect
to this pastime of the wealthy; it has be- i
come a necessity with all classes. No one
who can be reached is now permitted to re
main unwashed. This free and enlightened
country may take credit to itself for actu
ally having made bathing popular!
Thanks to the unstinted water supply
throughout our broad la,n< . there has beeh
no need to economize, as in European !
countries and their crowded capitals, in
the consumption of this precious element.
However, the early settlers of this coun
try may have neglected their privileges in
that respect, it cannot be said of their de
scendants, who take the uttermost com
fort and delight in an inheritance which
has been multiplied a thousandfold.
We have only to remember the primary
introduction of running water into Ameri
can residences to appreciate the influence
it had on the sanitary condition of the
whole community. Both London and
Paris have felt the benefit, for Ameri
cans abroad so bewailed the loss of
their home bathrooms that the old
fangled customs are passing away, and
now houses over there are being
fitted up in accordance with our ideas.
The rich classes even had little knowledge
of those •'improvements' ' that made the
humblest house in the States a palace in
I point of comfort. But the world cannot
stand still, and gilding the lily is an every
day performance in this age of luxury.
Therefore we find men and women are no
longer content with ''bare comforts," but
they insist on having them dressed up in
the finest feathers.
Take, for instance, the embellished mod
ern bathroom ; it is as much a work of art
as a Dresden casket, and, indeed, with its
art tiles, porcelain tubs and silver plumb- i
ing, it mieht serve as a novel piece of brie- i
a-brac. But this is by no means the chief j
attraction of the modern bathroom in the
House Beautiful. It is really the hydro
pathic devices by which every description
of lavation may be enjoyed by the
owner. Extraordinary magnificence dis
tinguishes the bathrooms in many New
lork abodes, but Boston's taste is con
tent with supreme elegance and does not !
crave a carved marble tub while there are i
noble receptables of immaculate white por- '•
celain, decorated with floral and gilded
garlands, to be obtained for that purpose.
They appear to be quite good enough, even
for angels' use, and the silver swan faucets !
are so deliciously Wagnenan they lend j
quite an operatic air to the elaborate sur
roundings.-Boston Ilerald.

NUMEROUS DINNER PARTIES.
Subscription Balls to Supersede Pri
vate Dances— Hegira to Del Monte
' for New Year's.
One of the most enjoyable dances of the
season was given by Miss Rose Hooper at
the Occidental on Christmas night, pre
ceded by a dinner. The parlors and halls
were canvased and prettily decoraied
with wreaths and garlands, studded witn
holly berries. The music, which was re
markably good, and the selections well
chosen, was by the Presidio band. A de

The dancing season is to be one of subscrip
tion dances from present indications. In fact,
the private dance, by which is generally un
derstood the dancing party in a private house,
is coming to be a thing of the past in San
Francisco just as it is in the large Eastern
cities. With few exceptions, San Francisco
houses are without ballrooms or are not large
enough to make a dance in their drawing
rooms enjoyable.

CANADA'S WAR EQUIPMENT.
No Forts, Xo Gunboats, Xo Heavy Guns
and Only 2000 Regular Troops.
That England, during the last half cen
tury, has regarded the possibility of a war
with the United States as exceedingly re
mote, is shown by her sorruwhat conspic
uous neglect of measures for Canadian de
fense. Canada has nearly 4000 miles of
boundary lines between herself and the
United States, 2000 of which, at least, is
but a geographical line, and yet there is
not a fortification or even a military post I
on all that vast extent. Nor has trie
mother country ever felt the need of such
defense or made the tirst move to pro
vide it.
Canada would indeed be at the mercy of
the great country, in the event of hostili
ties. There are only two fortifications in
all of Britain's Atlantic domain, and but
one on the shores of the Pacific. The two
on the Atlantic are a small fort at St. John,
New Brunswick, and a great fortification
and dockyard at Halifax. Both of these
were designed and are maintained aeainst
possibilities of attack from otlier antici
pated foes than the United States. The
same may be said of Esquimalt on the Pa
cific. That, too, is a naval station for the
convenience and protection of England's
naval power In those waters.
England is equally ind ; fferent to tlxe pos
sibilities of United States aggression in
Dominion. More than twenty-four years
»2t) she reduced her imperial strength to
2000 men, these forming for the most part
the garrison at Halifax. It has been kept
at that minimum ever since.
But Canada maintains at iier own ex
pense a respectable force of militia, aggre
gating in 1884 something like 34,000 men in
active training. The Canadian militia is
divided into two classifications — the ac
tive and the reserve. The active force
embraces the land and marine militia,
but the latter has liftle more than an
existence on paper. In fact, there
is no organization at all at
present. The land militia comprises one
brigade (fifteen batteries), of field artilery ;
five bitttalions, nine companies of garrison
artillery, two companies of engineers, and
ninety-two battalions, six companies of >n
fantry. The permanent corps, combined
with which are shcools of instruction, con
sist of the Royal Canadian Dragoons (two
troops), Royal Canadian Artillery (three
batteries), and the Royal Canadian Regi
ment of Infantry (four companies). This
establishment numbers 1010 of al! ranks.
The otiicer commanding the militia is ap
pointed for five years, has during that
time the rank of major-general, and must |
be selected from the colonels on the active
list of the British army.
The Dominion is divided into twelve
nvlitary districts, as follows: Ontario has
four. Quebec three, Nova Scotia one, New
Brunswick one, Manitoba one, the Terri
tories and Keewatin one, Prince Edward
Island one, and British Columbia one.
Each district is commanded by a deputy
adjutant-general. There is a small-arm
ammunition factory in Quebec, and this,
with the few regular troops and the militia,
constitute the extent of Canada's present
equipment to repel invasion.
Hung; Himself in a Barn.
An unknown man was found hanging in a
barn on the Lompo Tract, off the Mission road,
at 9 a. si. yesterday, by E. F. Lompo, who at
once notified the Coroner's office. Nothing
was found on his person to indicate his iden
tity. He was a man of probably 45 years of
age, poorly tressed in a gray sack suit, had on
gaiter shoes, and wore a black beard and very
dark hair.

AN OPERATION WAS UNSUCCESS
FULLY PERFORMED.
The Patient Was Finally Restored.
After Eighteen Years.
From the Evening News, Newark, N. J.
About eighteen years ago. when Mrs. Annie I
Dale of 88 Bruce street was a bright, merry
schoolgirl, she was taken ill with scarlet fever.
She recovered, but she was a very different girl
from a physical standpoint. She was cured of
the scarlet fever, but it left her with an affection
of the back. As she grew older the pain seemed
to increase. Her sufferings were intensified by
her household duties, but she never com
plained, and with one band pressed tightly to
her back she did her work about her cozy
home.
"I was fourteen years old when I was at
tacked with scarlet fever, and have now suf
fered with my back for eighteen years.
"Night and day I suffered. It really seemed
as if I must succumb to the pain, and then to
make matters worse my head ached so badly
that I could scarcely see at times. Finally I
went to St. Michael's Hospital, at the corner of
High street and Central avenue, and rhere the
surgeons performed a difficult operation 'on
my back, but it did no good: it was like
everything else. I was told at the hospital to
return for another operation, but the first had
left me so weak I could not go brfck. Then,
again, I had become discouraged and mv three
children needed my attention and care at
home. The pain became harder to stand and
my back was almost broken, it seemed. I
thought I would uever know what it would be
like to be well again when I was told to try Dr
Williams' Pink Pills. With many doubts, a
faintheart and an aching back I went to get
the pills, and little dreaming that they would
prove the elixir of a new life to me I began to
take them. Only a short time elapsed before I
began to improve. Could it be possible that
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were doing what
everything else had failed to accomplish? I
asked myself the question many times, and
before long I was enabled by my improved
condition to answer the query with an em
pnatic'\es." Now the pain of almost twenty
years is cured by these Pink Pills in a few
months. I have no pain of any kind now, but
I have got some of Dr. Williams 1 Pink Pills for
Pale People, and while I do not think it will
ever be necessary to use them again, I shall
certainly never be without them in the house."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in- a con
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the biood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to iemales, such
as suppressions, irregularities and all forms of
weakness. They build up the blood and restore
the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks.
In men they effect a radical cure in all caaes
arising from mental worry, overwork or ex
cesses of whatever nature. Pink Pil's are sold
In boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box
or six boxes for $2 50, and may be had of all
druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams'
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
