seamen of the regular navy were killed in

To the credit of American scientists it is
said that the first fruitful investigations
of the influence of the nerves upon the
proper nutrition of the body were made by
Prof. Edward E. Phelps. MD. LID,
while active professor in the Dartmouth
Medical School and lecturer in Vermont
University Medical Department.
These researches have since been carried
on in Europe; but the result by far the
most valuable from all these labors is
Prof. Phelps discovery of the prescription
that has come to be known as Paine's
celery compound.
Now and then a discovery like this one
is so greatly 10 advance of its day that it
startles the whole body OF conservative
physicians. No great remedy ever caused
as much talk and inquiry as Paine's celery
compound. Scientific men in this country
and in Europe have analyZed and dis
cussed It, and the medical world has agreed
in recommending it as truly remarkable
remedy for disorders originating in i'm

ANOTHER APPEAL.
The Citizens Committee
Not in Despair.
FIVE HUNDRED TICKETS.
Transportation to Be Given the
Unemployed.
OF A HARD PROBLEM.
Energetic Efforts of Mayor ElIert to
Relieve the City of Terrible
Financial Drain.

The citizens committee for the relief of
the unemployed is between two fires. On
the one SIDE applications for work tickets
overwhelm the members. and having once
undertaken to see the men through till
spring the committee is determined not to
turn a deaf ear to these appeals. On the
other hand it seems an impossibility TO
wiring enough money from the public 10
finish the work.
At the committee meeting yesterday
morning when the chairman announced
that the fund on hand amounted to little
over S1S.500 the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The relief fund for the unem-
ployed is being rapidly exhausted; and where
as. IL Is clearly apparent that the present bal
ance in The treasury will not relieve The press

Resolved, That we, the citizens committee
for the relief OF the unemployed, earnestly re-
quest the banks, insurance companies and
other wealthy corporations and the capitalists
of the city TO duplicate their original subserlp-
lions 10 the relief fund.
ResolUed, That the secretary be and hereby
is Instructed TO send copy of this preamble
daily papers of this city with the request that
they be placed prominently before the public.
Resolved. That the various canvassing com.
miIlees be directed 10 walt upon the banks
Insurance companies and other corporations
and the leading capitalists with a view 10 Sc
curing additional subscriptions TO The relief
fund.
Secretary Watt proposed that 800 work
tickets good for six days should be issued
yesterday afternoon, aud the proposition
met with hearty approval. 1t was accord
ingly resolved that 500 tickets should
nenceforth be issued every Wednesday and
Saturday as long as the funds continue.
AS the tickets expire at the end of six
DAYS, this plan will keep an army Of 1000
men steadily at work.
A letter was read from the manager of
Reifsky's "a Glimpse of the Harem,"
Offering to contribute the gross receipts
from the exhibition of the picture on
Wednesday, March 7, to the fund for the
unemployed. A resolution thanking the
manager and accepting his offer was
adopted.
The number of men on Leidesdorff
street yesterday morning was not far
short of 1000. In spite of the fact that
they nearly all had slips, many of them
had been in line since midnight. The
tickets issued yesterday were yellow, and
henceforth the color will be different at
each distribution.
