There is more catarrh in this sec

ef ses put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incura-
be. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
siantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires a constitutional treatment.

OF easy observation, except, Of course, in

for sharp-eyed watchers from one vantage
point alone to take such notes as enabled
them to themselves give a correct ac-
count OF two OF the five events, while care.
full and reliable observers at different

Four driving finishes out of the five

interest enough to satisfy the most exact
ing race-goer, to whom tame racing is an
abomlnatlOn. The bookmakers were more
than satisfied at the results, for only one
tavorlte struggled home during the after
noon. Yet somehow the talent, as repre-
sented by large and enthusiastic crowd,
were not so overmuch dismayei by their
series of mlSfor;unes and may be expected
TO come to scratch to-day with a light

NEARLY HER LAST SLEEP.
Mrs. Essie Thomas Swallows q
Dose of Laudanum.

Mrs. Essie Thomas of s22h Filbert
street very nearly put an end to her earthly
troubles yesterday morning. About
o'clock she awoke her husband, kissed
him and babe him good-by. as she had
swallowed a quantity of laudanum The
startled husband searched for the vial and
discovered it in a pocket of her jacket. BE
rushed for DIR. Weiss. the family physi-
clan, who told him to send his wife at
once to the Receiving Hospital for treat
ment.
She was accordingly rem owed to the hos
pital in an unconscious condition, where
the usual antidoies and restoratives were
used. 1t was thought OF first that she
could not recover. but yes terday afternoon
she was prom ounced out of danger.
Her husband, Merrill j. Thomas.
saloOn-keeper. at ST Kearny street, says
she has been in a debilitated and nervous
condition for some time past and resorfed
to oplates to enable her TO sleep. On Mon
day she went to DR.. Weiss and asked him
TO give her some morphine or other drug
to make her sleep. and he gave her pre-
scriptIon. Later in the day she sent the
servani-grl to q druggist for bottle Of
iaudanum.

EXPERTS TESTIFY.
O'NeiI's Defense Will Be
Offered To-Day.
Surgeons Describe Mrs. Critics In
juries, and Tell the Probable
Effect of Them.

The medical experts had their day In
the O'Nel case yesterday. and Judge
Wallace's courtroom seemed for the nonce
transformed into the lecture-room of a
college of surgery. while words formidable
in sound and interminable in length al
most drove the court stenographer to
desperation.
During the noon recess the interested
parties armed them selves with dictionarie
of medical terms, and q stack of these
volumes ornamented the attorneys table
when the afternoon session opened.
DR.. A. P. OBrien performed the au-
topsy Oh the body Of Mrs. Gri ffes, after
it was taken to the Morgue, and it re-
Quired all the morning and half of the
afternoon session of the court for the at
torneys to complete the surgeons sxamina-
ton.
Carroll Cook crOss-examined at great
length, but in no material point did the
doctor testimony differ from the facts as
he first stated them.
DR.. O'Brien described the wound which
caused Mrs. Critics death, and suggested
ways In which it might have been Inflicted,
but his testimony was very positive on the
point that 1t would be impossible for such
wound to be self-inflicted.
The doctor gave very minute descrip-
ton OF the wounds and what the autopsy
revealed He testified that the pain pro-
duced by the inf1iction of the wound could
have produced paralysis of the nerves, and
that insen sibility would be immediate,
consequently no outcry would be made by
the person injured.
DIR. Julius Rosenstirn, an expert on sur
gerry, who has had opportunities for study
In the best schools of Europe, was called
by the prosecution. He first testified in
regard to some samples that he had taken
from the walls of the room in the Grizzly
Bear saloon, in which Mrs. Gil iffes met her
death. Upon chemical analysis he pro-
nounced them to be blood, but could not
determine whether they were from a hu-
man being or from some animal The
reaction for all blood is the same, and
the difference between the blood of a
man and an animal is in the size of tho
corpuscles. This difference cannot be
noted absolutely, except with fresh sam
piles.
DR.. Rosenstirn was then asked a hypOthe-
teal question. based on DR.. O'Brien's evil
dence, and, the wound being described, he
stated that it could not possibly have been
self-in Il cted. and that it would probably
cause immediate insensibility
A picture of O'Neil taken shortly after
his arrest was then introduced in evil
dence. and the case for the people rested.
The defense will introduce witnesses to-
day, and Attorney Cook promised the
court that he would occupy but the one
day In taking testimony.

The old brick building, IL. IS and IL
Halleck street, was practically consumed,
with most of its valuable contents, early
yesterday evening. The alarm was sounded
from box 81 at 6:13 O'Clock and while the
alarm was ringing flames were glowing
above the roof and q great conflagration
seemed to be unavoidable. But flames
were never more quickly subdued. In half
an hour the fire was out, after it had de-
stroyed property worth $4,000. most of
which was owned by the Singer Sewing
Machine Company. Other tenants of the
building who lost by the fire were: Rafael
d Gallegos. Van Lake & Co. and w. j.
Thompson. The building was owned by
the New Zealand Insurance Company.
