Join the Parent Stem.
Growing near the baths OF Alliaz, In
the canton OF yaud, Switzerland, almost
within stones throw Of the most popu-
lar hotel, $500 feet above the level of
the sea, stands the most remarkable
tree in the world, says Science. The
trunk of the tree is ten meters, or a lit
tie over thirty feet, at the base
At about two yards above the
ground 1t puts out on the
south side seven off-shoots. Bent and
gnarled at the bottom, these side trunks
soon straighten themselves mp and rise
perpendicular and parallel to the main
stem. The feature is not, perhaps,
wholly unparalleled, but another most
curious fact Is that the two largest OF
the side trunks are connected with the
principal stem by sub-quadrangnlar
braces resembling grinders. These
beams have probably been formed
by an anastomosing of branches, which,
although common enough among
angosperms, has never been reported
before in confer (the remarkable tree

where the side girders enter the main
trunk of the tree are SO smoothly barked
over as to make 1t impossible to ascer-
tain the manner in which nature formed
the remarkable union.

A Suppressed Article of Gum.

Several months ago a chewing gum
factory at Cleveland, O., conceived the
wrapping it in imitation SIS greenbacks,
and calling it ''Greenback Chewing
Gdm.'' 1t was put on the market and
made hit, large lots being sold. A
government detective who chews gum
bought stick of the brand and he at
once saw in the imita ton $5 bill vio-
lation of the statutes of the United
States. He notified the treasury depart
ment at Washington of his discovery,
and this telegram was sent out to all the
district secret service officers: "'Green-
back Chewing Gum has wrapper that
is violation of section 5,430. Suppress
it." Large seizures of the article were
made and the sale stopped

The Effects OF Mental exhaustion.

Many diseases, especially those OF the ner-
vous system, are the products Of daily renewed
mental exhaustion. Business avocations often
involve an amount OF mental wear and tear very
prejudicial to physical health, and the profess
sions, il arduously pursued, are no less destruc-
tive TO brain and nerve tissue. 1t is one OF the
most important attributes Of Hostettsr's Ston-
ach Bitters that 1t conlpensates for this undue
loss OF tissue, and that it imparts new energy to
the brain and nerves. The rapidity with which
it renews weaker mental energy and physical
vitality is remarkable, and shows that its in
vigorating properties are Of the highest order
Besides increasing vital stamina, and counter
acting the effects OF mental exhaustion this
potential medicine cures and prevents fever and
ague, rheumatism, chronic dyspepsia and con-
supation, kidney and uterine weakness and
as indicated stimnlant and remedy.

Kerr's Examination Goes Over
Another Week.

j. ". Kerr, charged with the killing of
Edward Cogan, appeared in Police Judge
LAWYERS court at 1870 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon for his preliminary examination,
but before the case was called it was an
nounced that continuance would be asked
for by the defense. 1t was not a surprise,
therefore, when Attorney Darwin arose,
and stated that, if his Honor pleased, they
would ask that the examination go over for
one week in order to give the attorneys an
opportunity to get their evidence together
in pro- er form. He felt that there should
be no reasonable objection to this request,
and believed that the prosecution would
make none He hoped not, at least, and
trusted that the Judge would see his way
clear 10 continuing the case for a week.
EX-Judge Mcguire, who had been re-
tanned by the mnlders fer the prosecution,
stated that, so far as he was concerned, he
deemed it no more than just that the con-
tinuance should be granted, but rs the
prosecution was in the hands of Prose-
cutting Attorney Mott, he would be COM
PEELED to leave the matter with the latter.
Mr.. Mott replied: "On behalf Of the
people the prosecution is ready to proceed
with the case"
Judge LAWYER was of the opinion that no
extraordinary delay had thus far occurred,

week if the defense would promise to be
ready at that time The promise being
given, the examination was postponed until

Chinese Bond smen Are Not to Be Had in
Habeas Corpus Cases,

Chinese Bondsmen Are Not to Be Had in
Habeas Corpus Cases.
Five Of the Chinese who came on the
steamer Rio de Janeiro went back on her
yesterday, having been unable TO secure
bondsmen. Said S. J. Ruddell of the Chi
nese bureau yesterday in commenting on
this fact
The system of requiring two days notice
for all sureties to be offered on the bonds in
habeas corpus cases OF incoming Chinese
has produced its effect. The available sup
ply of bondsmen is about exhausted. China
town has been ransacked, but no more Chi
nese properly-owners could be found for
these five coolies.
" 1t is our custom not to accept the same
man ON too many bonds. After the amount
of the bonds that ne stands sponsor for
comes anywhere near the value OF LIS VlSl-
bic property we reject him as a bondsman
until some of the cases in which his bonds
figure are disposed Of. The habeas corpus
mill has been temporarily suspended owing
to the absence of Commissioner McAllister
and the consequence is that the supply of
Chinese bondsmen is used up until some OF
the cases are disposed Of"
Collector Phelps has received a letter
dated July 9Th from Carlton Richards, the
interpreter of Chinese, who is at Tucson,
AriZ. The following passage explains the
situation there:
To-day United States Commissioner Hughes
rendered Judgment remanding the twenty-four
Chinese TO China. Judge BarrOws attorney for
the defendants, made Il motion to suspend judg-
ment until Monday, July 7th. when he intends
having writs OF habeas corpus served on the
United States Marshal, TetuTnabie for trial IN
Phoenix. He talks OF trying one case and abd-
ing by the Judgment on the other twenty-three
cases. The United States Attorney wishes me
to 60 10 PhGnx 10 Interpret in The cases. Ii IS

manded Chinaman, Sic Chew, whose case

lected at some future meeting for site.
Plans for the Girls High School, to be
built on Scott street, between Geary and
0'Farrell, were submitted to the committee
by Architect L. j. Welsh. The plans are
for very elegant building of the modern
ROmanesque style, prepared with view
toward uniting on all economical plan all
modern cUnveniences. The dimensions are
2l9 feet inches in length by 107 feet in
width, and it will comprise fifteen class
rooms on the first floor, industrial science
lecture, chemical, physical lecture and play
rooms in the basement
The attic will have a general assembly,
room of liberal dimensions, with hand
some stage. A gymnasium and art room
Will also be constructed some time in the
future on the same floor; but at present it
Is not the purpose to finish them. The
material to be used in the construction will
be granite, galvanized iron, rock-faced
sand stone and stock brick. 1t Is purposed
to seat about 900 pupils in the fifteen class
rooms, and it is thought that about 1900 can
be accommodated in the building.
Some time since rough sketches of the
building were submitted to the committee,
which, after examining them thoroughly,
recommended certain changes. The plans
submitted yesterday were the revised ones,
and. after re-eXamining them, they we're
adopted. They yet remain to be adopted

WIG LTURAL CAFE.


Nothing in the Charge of Antagonism to
Its management.
Said Secretary Winfield Scott Of the VIII
cultural Commission yesterday:
The rumored sntagonism TO the man
agement Of the cafe in the commissions
rooms has nothing in it. There is no dis
satisfaction with the cafe. In fact, we all
recognize that the cafe is one of the most
convenient features of the commissions
rooms. 1t enables any one desiring to test
the wines OF any particular dealer or grower
in the State to have the wine or brandy
opened for him right here, where lie may be
sure that they are genuine. At the same
time he is given price list of the wines, and
the cafe merely adds the cost Of carriage.
If it were not for the cafe it would be
exceedingly difficult for any one to test the
wines of California dealers and be sure that
he was getting the genuine thing, unless
the goods were received direct from the
grower. 1t is because the cafe is not in
tended for general restaurant, but for this
purpose alone, that it is so useful to wine

day was the selection of an eXl erimental
agricultural station. Professor Hilgard had
recommended Pomona year ago. RIVER
side it seems, has since raised a fund and
urged its claims. Two representatives of
the Pomona Board of Trade addressed the
Regents. Mr.. Phelps favored the immedi-
ate selection Of Pomona; so did President
Martin. Mr.. Hoitt and Mr. Hallidie were
in favor of referring the subject to COM
mittee. Mr. Martin emphasized the fact
that heretofore Professor Hllgard's judy
ment has always been relied upon, and That
no member could attempt to investigate all
these questions for himself.
The vote referring the selection of site
to the Committee on Stations was reconsid-
cred and Professor Higard's report was
read, by which it appeared that the Pomona
Water Company and Mr.. Birds ranch man
ager had each offered location. He stated
that either would do. He decided that
Pomona offered the widest variety of soil
and climate and would be for that reason
the best.
MI Phelps took the chair and President
Martin moved the selection of Pomona as
the location for the station. The motion
was unanimously carried. The choice Of
site was left to Professor Hilgard.
