Wnlie this was the most sudden fatal
case that came under my observation,
knew many others In which had every
reason to believe the disease was super
induced BY fright. causing relaxation
of the whole system, thereby placing
the victim In fit condition to contract
the disease and powerless to repel it.
One evening on our return home the
doctors wife told, him call had been
made for him to go Immediately to q
family living about six miles distant.
The case seemed to be urgent, and we
took hasty supper and started.
The night was extremely dark, the
weather sultry and storm approach
ing. We had good deal of difficulty in
finding the way. Neither of us slept
any on that trip.
The family were new settlers. The
house was q sound lpg, cabin OF one
room, about 16xl8 feet, built in the
forest, large trees standing in close prox-
unity to 1t, the owner not having had
time to clear any of the land.
When we entered we found the man
and one of his sons, q boy about Is years
old, lying in one bed, both dead. The
mother and daughter, about 13, were
in another bed with the dread disease.
A boy about 10 years old was the only
person able to render assistance, and l
can never forget the look of anguish and
absolute terror on the face of that boy
as we entered that pestilence-stricke
chamber of death.
The doctor quickly administered to
the mother and daughter, and for more
than an hour, while the storm ragged
without, we worked with our patients
until they were relieved Of the cramps.
Neither of them could understand q
word Of English, but as the doctor and
myself could both speak little German
We gave them directions how to use the
medicines, leaving them enough for two
days, and told them we would send

land the labor movement has an estab-
lished propaganda. Corps of speakers are
organized in all the large cities. Some of
these are distinguished orators, like John
Burns, distinguished also as the leader of
the great dockers' strike in the fall Of
1889, Kier Hardie and Mr.. Wilson, who are
all also members Of Parliament. This
plan will give opportunities TO talented
young men, if adopted. that will eventually
give them high postins Of usefulness in
the councils of our cities, the Legislatures
and In Congress, and being near the peO-
pie they will know what they want and
how to obtain the desired legislation, a
condition which is now entirely
monopoized by the capitalists un-
challenged almost in the law-making
convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. President Gompers and
the executive board are unanimous in
favor of securing reforms, and the most
pressing now demanded is a law 10 secure
the establish shment of a Government tele-
graph and telephone system.
"a petition is now being signed by all
the affiliated organizations addressed TO
the honorable Senate and House of Repre-
seHtatlyes in COngress assembled. By
uniting on such question we will not
only have the labor question carefully dis
cussed, not by the workingmen alone but
in the pulpit, on the platform, in the halls
of Congress, as well as by the press, which
now seems inclined to be hostile as a rule.
We desire an honest careful aud logical
inve estigatiOr of the labor movement,
knowing that free from all 'isms' the
labor union is the cornerstone of our eco
nnmic structure, tile same aSequality is the
cornerstone Of our political edifice."

A LEGAL MYSTERY.
Can Man Plead Guilty and Then
ApneaI2 2


What seems to be a most extraordinary
proceeding has occurred in Police Court g.
Two or three weeks ago nine bunko-
steerers and confidenee-men were arrested
by Officers Cleary and Allen, and the cases
were assigned 10 Judge JOachmsen's
court.
When the cases came up In court three
OF the nine pleaded guilty to the charge of
vagrancy and on May l were sentenced to
three months in the County Jail.
One Of the three was j. f. Willis, and
lie Was the first to enter plea of guilty.
On Saturday last Willis was released
from the County Jail on the order of Judge
JoachImsen, and it appears that on that
day he accepted an appeal bond in $500
for Willis.
The pondsmen were Charles d. Root,
VINO qualified on lot on the northwest
corner OF Geary and Jones streets with
three dwellings thereon valued at $40, 600,
anu Josepll Horn, WHO qualified on liquor
store, lis Fourth street, valued at S2J6O
Ihe extraordinary point in the proce ed
ihgS lies in releasing man on an appeal
pond who had pleaded guilty to the charge,
had been sentenced and had begun to
serve his sentence
Judge Joachimsen had adjourned his
court before the case came to light, but it
was as ceriaIned that an attorney had an
peared before him last Thursday or FRI
day and had con tended that, as the com.
plalnt was defective. in smuch as portion
o1 the printed matter had bpen deleted,
his client had right of appeal, even if he
pleaded guilty.
Several legal luminares were scratching
thelr heads yesterday over the problem as
70 now man who openly iu court pleads
gulity TO charge can have the right of
appeal.

A MISSING CLERK.
Horace Baker Skips for
Parts Unknown.
Commission Merchants Who Are Now
Left to Mourn the Loss of a
Once Trusted EmpIoye.

Horace Baker. bookkeeper for the firm
of Ross Hewlett, commission mer-
chants at 800 Davis street. is missing
Baker, who resided with his wife and
five children on Twen ty-fourth street, near
Castro, has been bookkeeper for the firm
for ten years, and in all that time lie has
been looked upon by his employers and a
large circle of aeQuaintances as being q
man Of exemplary character and trust
worthy emplOYe.
When questioned IS to his bookkeeper's
sudden departure. Mr. Hewlett said: Il
have always had most favorable opinion
of Mr. Baker, and never had the least oc-
easion to suspect him of any wron gdOings
regarding the firms business until last
Friday, when l discovered an error in
looking over one of the balance-sheets.
Il spoke to Mr.. Baker of it, and asked
him to let me have the remainder Of the
balance-sheets. Instead of returning them

glance, | placed them III my pocket to look
over when al leisure
Tine following morning Saturday, Mr..
Baker dld not put in an appearance.
1t was his custom to open the store at
A. NJ. When he failed to be on hand we
made immediate inquiries for his where
ab1uts, and learned from his wife that he
had lett his home at the usual hour in d
very pleasant mood, after having kissed
the little ones good-by.
"She did not have the least suspicion or
intimalion that her husband intended re-
naming away from business. aud it is
needless TO state that the news of his sud
den disappearance has COMPLETELY mos
tCated her. In fact, she is now left des;-
tute, with large family Of pretty C ldren.
MI Baker was seen last ab Ut 7 o'clock
Saturday morning at the 'Cosey' saloon,
q Davis street. Although detectives have
been looking for him / have not learned
that c.ew to his whereabouts has been
found. have not the least idea where he
has gone"
MIR, Hewlett further stated that since
last July lie has been under the doctors
care, and being physically unable to attend
to the business affairs of the house he
allowed lis bookkeeper entire charge of
the books and cash.
Mr. Hewlett has not the least idea of the
amount Of shortage In the bookkee per's
cash accounts. The books are In the hands
OF an expert. and until the latter returns
MS report an estimate of the defalcations,
II any, cannot be given
II is said that Baker has been drinking
rather heavily during the past three
or four months, which fact has led some
people to believe that his Indebtedness TO
the firm will amount to considerable.
The proprietor of the saloon at which
Baker was last seen stated that the latter
had Informed some Of his friends on
Friday that he had deposited quite a large
sum OF money III some bank to the credit
Of the firm.
Baker is a man so years of age. His
sudden disappearance from his home and
place OF business has caused great surprise
among business men, who have heretofore
regarded the missing book eeper as being
one OF the last men whom suspicion of
wrongdoings would TALL upon.

down cruise. Here the yacht clubs were
holding their opening exercises and firing
salutes and drinking champagne and
having a regular annual time.
The black boxes were IN glory. The
Caroline steamed in and out among the
gayly decorated craft in Richard sons
Bay. and every yacht and launch was hit n
hundred times.
Everybody punched the BUTTON or
squeezed the rubber ball, and the eX-
pOsures OF plates aud films were exceed
ingly, if not indeceutly, enormous.
Have YOU all got enough?" called down
Captain w. G. Leale from the pilot
house.
We've caught everything" said the
black boxes.
Then wen go down by Mission Rock
and the iron works" said Captain Leaie,
and he touched the button that reversed
the engine.
Captain Leale is the master and owner
OF the Caroline, ana on working DAYS he
carries freigh. and stores 10 the San Quen-
tin prison.
The members of the Camera Club are
the sometime masters and all the time
owners of the black boxes and those not
black, and on working days they follow
various useful vocations. 1his was a hOli-
day outing aud the club members and their
friends on board were guests Of Miss Jessie
Banks and her brotheT-in-law, Captain
Beale.
Returning from Richardson's Bay there
was a lull in the business of swapping and
pre- emily the lull was Interrupted by Mrs.
Leale's Invitation to 'c0me in the cabin
and have a cup of coffee"
Those who accepted the invitation-and
they all did-found that coffee was but the
least of Mrs. Leaie's excellent luncheon,
and the chances are that a good many ap-
petites for dinner were spoiled thereby.
However, there was still a couple of
hours of active and arduous service be-
fore the owners of the black boxes, still
many dangerous and difficult exposures to
be made.
And by the time luncheon was over the
real active work of the expedition was
commenced. The ship Roanoke, the big
gest wooden hull in the water, was fairly
rlddled with shot. The poor old ship

No use. The Caroline's steamwheel beat

were punished terribly. They didn't seem
to appreciate the honor of being engraved
on SO many dry plates, and the way they
cut and ran seemed TO beioken that they
dreaded the camera.
Twice All Jok showed her keel, but she
was duly Overhauled each time in order 10
enable DR.. Twist to get shot with each Of
his boxes.
A very picturesque looking craft was the
All JOk. The camera fiends appreciated
this and punished her accordingly.
When the last shot had been fired at her
the Caroline turned her nose toward jack
son street and sailed safely in port.
The guests voted Captain Leale and Miss
Banks royal hosts. Then the black boxes
walked down the gangplank, and the crowd
dispersed quietly and in an orderly AMI

VIII Renew Work.


Secretary Mau of the Pacific Iron and
Nail Company very Indignantly denies the
rumor that the company's works in Oak
land are to be closed down on account of
depression in business.
while it is true that we intend to tenn
porarily close down the works. it is in no
wise a failure" said the secretary to
GAIL reporter yesterday. at has always
been our custom to suspend work during
the summer in order TO repair our ma
chinery and overhaul the factory.
This is the case this year. Trade was
never better, and we expect to dispose of
most of our stock during the summer
months. The nail trade, as ! have said. is
good and the outlook for an Improvement
very encouraging.
"Our works will be in operation again in
August or September. and all of onr old
hands will be given work on application.
