Is the characteristic of Hoods Sarsa-

accomplishes. Druggists say: When

that the good results from trial bottle

by virtue of the Peculiar Combination,

Skantical Mr.. GnZzIAr.

Town Topics: Mr.. Guzzler, ofthe Union
Climb, has been decidedly skeptical con
cerning the value Of the bi-chloride treat
.ment as a cure for inebriety. I remember
talking with him on the subject some
weeks ago, and he then said that not only
did he considerthe new discovery frand,
but also gave it as his opinion that any
man who was unappreciative enough to
wish to destroy noble thirst, which it
had taken years to cultivate, was not worth
any treatment that cost what the Keeley
does. Knowing how Mr.. Guzzler felt in
the matter, I was more than surprised
when the report reached me the other day
that the genial old window ornament,
whose crubescence has Illuminated the
corner of Fifth avenue and TWenty-first
street every afternoon for no less than ten
years, had actually betaken himself tc
White Plains, and that after week Of

tor in charge predicted a complete cure fol

THREE QUESTIONS
To be Passed Upon by the Attor-
neY General.

Matters In Relation to the Ieander
Lines at yancouver's HarBOr
and the Isdtction of the Har-
Bor Lime Commission.
Three questions of law in regard to the
jurisdiction of the harbor line commission
have arisen at Vancouver, on the Colum-
bia river. First, there are two meander
lines, one stablished to delimit an origin
al danation land claim upon which the
major part of the city is built, and one
established when the same lands were sec
tionalized
AS these lines do not coincide there is a
question as to which must be taken as
limiting the jurisdiction of the harbor
line commission. Second, the banks of the
river at Vancouver have lost by erosion at
some points and gained by accretion at
other points, so that the meander lines,
originately located at approximately low
water, are now at some points on the high
land, and at other points are in deep water.
The question here is whether the rule that
riparian owner gains by accretion
and loses by erosion, the line of mean
high tide always constituting his bound
airy for the time being, will apply
or whether the REIMBURSEMENT contained
in section 2, article XVII of the constitu-
ton vests private ownership to the meand-
er line in whatsoever position it may be
found to exist.
Third-Ihough Vancouver is 10Y miles
from the ocean, the tide ebbs and flows
there for nine months in the year; its banks
being filled for the other three months by

Went to See WilkinsOn's widows.

The governor, the supreme judges, the
doctors, lawyers and several hundred others
of all walks of society were out at the
theater last night to see Wilkinson's Wild
ows. 1t was Gillette sparkling adaptation
of French play. None of the private
boxes were occupied, but down stairs was
well filled and the upper portion of the
theater, not 50 full. 1t was laugfhable
play ali the way through and was freely
enjoyed by the audience. Yet there was a
sameness in all three acts. The next play
to be presented at the theater is horse
play, sfBobby Gaylor,n = as Sport McAlliste1

BIG SPOKANE FIRE.
A Narrow Escape Of People From
a Horrible Death.

The Fire Department Rescue the
Lodgers of a Hotel by Ladders--
Heavy Losses and only Partial
Insurance.
SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. pa fire started
in the basement of the Crescent block at
$3.50 this morning, and before it was ex-
tinguished the building was completely
Quilted. The building, which is a three
story brick adjoining the Review building,
was filled with dodgers and roomers. In a
short time all avenues of escape were cut
off, save the windows, and the people in
the building appeared there and frant1cally
appealed for help. Ladders were at once
run up and half clothed men and women
were assisted to the street. Wild rumors
were quickly adoat of men and women un-
able to escape, but at this writing it
appears that all thezssoccupants were res
cued in safety. The losses are heavy,
Alfred Stebbins, Crescent block, gutted
loss $4,000; insured. Mr.. Bract, music
store, $4,000, insured for 5000. Mrs.
Ford, $4,000, insurance not known,
Mr.. Welch, $4,000, covered by insurance.
The building was the only brick structure
left standing by the great fire Of August,

via Union Pacific which is De-
MED by Chauncey Depev--How
the Deal was Brought About.
New York, Feb. 23.-Rumor has it that
Commodore yanderbilt's dream has been
realized It is said the Vanderbilt interests
have secured control of the st. Paul sys-
tenn and that grand alliance now includes
st. Paul, the Northwestern and Union
Pacific. That is a through lihe from New
York to the Pacific at Portland and San
Francisco. If true, it is the most impor-
tant railroad deal in many years. 1t is said
that it will be formally announced on
Wednesday, but Chauncey Depew denies
it. He says Commodore Vanderbilt never
had and such dream. The Vanderbilt in
terests have made no such attempt to CON
troll in any way shape or manner, the st.
Paul system. There is no truth in the
story and you will find that such combina-
ton exists only on the floor of the stock
exchange. The story given out today, is
like others or similar import that have been
circulated of late years. 1t had much to
contend it and was told with great circum-
stances. Active efforts, it was asserted
had been going on since J. Pierrepont
Morgan succeeded in converting 500 900, 900
of the floating debts of the Union Pacific
road into interest bearing certificates
After that Drexel Morgan & Co., had sue
ceeded in furthurance of the alleged deal
in bringing into intimate relations with
the Vanderbilt's and their friends outside
parties who have heretofore controlled the
st. Paul system.
