The Acapulco Arrives With Coal Ballast
in Lieu of Cargo.
The extent OF the existing depression CT
trade in Central American and Mexican
ports may be judged from the fact that the
Pacific Mail CompaDy's steamer Acap ulco,
which arrived at 2:S0 A. NJ. yesterday from
Panama and all way ports. had only six
cabin and seven steerage passengers. and
eighty-five tons of freight. The steamer had
to be loaded down with 800 tons of coal at
Acapulco, as ballast.
The steamer Al-Ki came in from Newport
yesterday morning with her flag half-masted.
Two OF the crew, AdOlph Faulkman and
Harry Hill, were drowned in the roadstead
at Newport. The two men went out in
small boat with the second mate, Jack
McGratb. TO moor the Al Ki TO a buoy. As
soon as they had made the hawser fast the
steamer, which had been backing. was run
ahead. The men had been warned To cast
of their boat from the buoy, but did not &C
SO, and the stern went down with the buoy

into The water. The mate clung to the bow
of the boat which was sticking out of the

Hank became famous in 1876 when he
had charge OF engine 149, which made the
greatest run on record with the Jarrett &
Palmer special lightning train. which left
New York on June ] and arrived here on
June 4, making the trip in So hours and 80
minutes.
The work that was Hanks share of this
trip was to bring the train from Ogden to
Oakland mole, distance OF $40 miles. a feat
which he accomplished in % hours and 40
minutes.
Tie most remarkable fact in connection
with this run was that ii was made without
change OF engine. old big No. l49 doing
the work all herself.
Superintendent Fillmore of the Southern
Paclnc. who was a passenger on the train
from Sacramento TO Oakland, said yesterday
IN speaking of poor Hanks death that he
well remembered how the signal bell of the
engine was broke. and the steam whistle
out OF order. and IN order to have some
means OF communication from the train to
the cab they tied the bellcord around Hanks
arm. and In that manner established novel
mode OF signaling.
The time made by the Jarrett 81
Palmer train has never been beaten Init
Il
enc this is only because no one ever has
tried TO beat it. They say that with the
improved methods and facilities now en-
ployed there Is no doubt but that train
could be brought across the continent in
considerably less time. But they also ac-
knowledge that they have no single engine
that can beat 1895 performance.
Hank, after his arrival with the record
breaking train, was the hero. of many days.
He was presented with a fine diamond
studded badge by the Jarrett 81 Palmer
Company. among whom was Lawrence
Barrett, the tragedian
This badge he willed some time ago to his
Oldest grandson. For nearly ii years Hank
had charge of the Daycar, ana Paymaster
Henford rode many hundred miles all
over the Southern Pacitc's system behind
Hanks engine. During this long period
the old engineer hauled many millions of
money over the iron highways. When off
duty Hank was lovial, goodhearted man.
He was feet tall and of muscular build.
Everybody who knew him was his friend,
and as an engineer he was very valuable
and trustworthy employe. The railroad
men always conceded that Hank had
wonderful way Of being extremely careful
and at the same time recklessly daring, and
that he could do anything he wanted with
an engine, once he got his hand on the
throttle.
The late engineer leaves widow, a mar
rled daughter and son, the latter being an
engineer on the Berkeley local train, and in
many respects the counterpart of his father
The accompanying portrait represents
Hank as he looked when he came from
Maine in 1869 to look for job in California.

years, took his seat In the Wilson School
yesterday morning his teacher noticed that

gated and found that il was severely burned.
The little boy then told how he had been
punished BY his mother for having told a
lie. The mother took the child to stove
and placed the boys hand on hot lid. His
story was confirmed by an elder brother,
and the attention of School Superin-
tendent Sullivan was called to the
matter. While he was investigating
the mother appeared at The school and
acknowledged that she had adopted that
mode OF Furnishing her children. The
child's hand along the finger-naiIs was Sc

It Gets Foul and Poisonous Unless it Is
Kept Constantly Flowing.
At this season of the year people feel more
or less weak, run down, wearied and depressed
1t has been commonly supposed that it is due
to impurities Of the blood, and that only by
purifying the blood can good health be Sc
cured. is this true? Let US see. The blood
gets impure because it is sluggish. How does
stream get impure with green scum and
poisons on the top? Simply because it doesn't
run. A running stream is not impure, but a
stagnant or sluggish stream always is. II,
therefore, you would keep your blood pure,
keep ii moving, keep IL throbbing. The mo-
ment it begins to be sluggish 1t will begin to
be impure, and you will feel the effects in
tired, weak feelings, depressed emotions, and
thousand and one troubles which always
follow. The proper way to keep the blood
stirring is by the use OF pure stimulant, in
moderation. Stimulate it gently and ii will
keep in constant, healthy motion, and good
health Will follow. There is but one way in
which this can be done, and that is by the use
OF the purest and best stimulant you can find
preferably whisky, and there is but one abSo-
lutely pure, medicinal whisky known to the
world, and that is Dufy's Pure Malt. Scien-
fists admit this, the doctors all confirm il. 1t
Is more generally used to-day than any other
whisky which the world has ever seen, and it
is popular only through its merit. Do not let
any druggist or grocer deceive you by SAYING
they have something 'tjust as good, "some-
thing they can recommend etc. When any
dealer says this he has an interested motive,
which usually is 10 sell you something cheap
and inferior, on which he can make more
money. Do not be SO deceived.
