tendent does not choose his subordinates
in all cases, and some of them have an
appeal over his head to the higher power
and sometimes make it with effect. That
the Superintendent feels this to be the
chief cause of whatever evils there are in
his department. is quite certain. But the
reasons for his not saying so are obvious.
Byrnes' view of the social question is
that OF every one in authority in the
police department. had occasion early
in the controversy to sound all the Com
missiouers on the subject, and they eX-
pressed themselves all in the same way,
almost in the same words. And DIR.
Parkhurst takes, at bottom, the same po-
sition.
II am not fighting the social evil" he
repeated to me yesterday. "This has
been the mistake in the conception of my
purposes, most difficult of correction
from the very first. | am after the police.
l charge that the police receive payment
Tor letting some houses remain open. L
charge that the police are levying black
mail on crime and particularly the crime
OF women. Those creatures who have
been driven out of their houses and have
come to me have told me in detail their
experience with the police, and their
stories are so similar that am convinced
that the business of blackmail is a COM
plete system. What l hope to attain is
the truth regarding the part played by
Commissioners and ultimately by Tam
many Hall in this system"
Toward this end the clergyman thinks
another step was taken on Friday last,
when superintendent Byrnes sent his re-
port TO the commission on the condition
of the Fourth Precinct. This report con-
tanned the result of the investigation of
Inspector Williams and certain disor-
derly women, sailor boarding-houses and
low-clasS saloons, list of which was
sent to the board by DR.. Parkhurst, with
a complaint that all of them were scenes
of the habitual violation of the law.
What makes this report most interesting,
however, is the fact that simultaneously
with its reading, the Excise Board, few
blocks away, completed series of hear
ings of the licensees of eight of the houses
on the police list, and on the testimony of
police officers revoked the licenses.
The Police Inspectors report declared
there was no cause of complaint against
any of the houses named. The Excise
Board found sufficient cause to suppress
the placeS-every one. A transcript of
the testimony taken by the Excise Board
was sent for by the Police Board. But
Williams said: evidence ample for the
revocation of a license is not sufficient to
convict in Police Court" And herein
is his defense-an odd one. But it gives
the point Of the new phase of the police
agitation. Can the police get sufficient
evidence to convict, If they will? Super
intendent Byrnes says they can. Police
Justices whom L interviewed yesterday
say the same thing. Why then do they
not get it? Byrnes says, as quoted, be-
cause it is useless to try to root out all
cases. The motive of the discrimination
is the ultimate test. And that may never
be known. j. L. S.

DANGER JUST AHEAD.

A Prominent Professor Speaks About
the threatening Things Abroad at
This Time of the Year.
"It is surprising how many people are suf'
fering to-day from so-called coughs, colds and
Influenza
The remark was made by a very prominent
Professor connected with one of the leading
New York hospitals. Continuing, he said:
ut is not these things that are troubling
people, but it is an advanced form of our old
enemy, the grip. People feel out OF sorts,
sneeZe, have pains in the muscles and bones.
have no appetite, lose all interest in the world
and wonder what Is the matter. 1t is the
grip nothing else
Now, ali such symptoms need to have
prompt treatment. The attack must be met
and repelled at once, or 1t is certain to run
into something serious / know of but one
way TO certainly avoid these troubles which
are now so common, ana that is, to immedi-
ateiy counteract them by using good, pure,
strong stimulant. Nothing of the ordinary
kind, but something pure and scientific. For
this purpose nothing has ever equaled Dufys
Pure Malt Whisky, which is acknowledged
to-day by physicians and scientific people 10
be the only pure medicinal malt whisky upon
the market"
The words of the Professor are true and they
carry a wonderful meaning to many men and
women who are suffering with the first symp-
toms of grip, or else grip in Its advanced
stages. For all such people we offer a word OF
advice. which is to take the best means to
overcome these troubles and do not permit
any dealer to swerve you from your purpose
OF use to be the best and purest stimulant in

METAL CROSS-TIES.
Their Use on Railroads Have Proven
satisfactory.

satisfactory.
Speaking of metal railroad ties gen.
orally, it may not be amiss to recall the
fact that they owe their origin to French
thought, having been proposed SOM o
| thirty odd years ogo by the French engi-
neer Vautherin. Little was done, how
ever, with the Vautherin sleeper, since
it was soon found to but inadequately
meet the requirements of actual service,
and to increase rather than decrease, as
intended, the expense and trouble of
track maintenance. About 700 of the ties
were laid on one of the small German
railroads in the year 1867, but were re-
placed after short time by the conven-
tional wooden variety. In 1874 new eX-
periments were made on the same line
with somewhat thicker metal ties. About
25 600 of them were put down, and in the
main proved quite satisfactory, some OF
them being probably still in place, so that
the trials on the whole may be said to
have been successful.
Since 1877 the number of metal tie de-
signs has grown apace, and for several
years past there has been an embarrasS-
ing variety from which to choose, each
type of tie of course being claimed to be
the best by its designer, while few of
them could boast OF actual time-tried per-
formance as a fair measure of worth
Probably the best results abroad with
metal ties have been obtained with
what is known as the Heindl tie, which
has been in continued successful use
for about ten years on several Ger
man and Austrian railroads. None
of the defects of frequent fracture of the
ties themselves and of rapid deterio-
ration of the roadbed on which they are
laid-defects which are said to have been
prominent on some lines where they were
used, notably in Belgium-have there
been observed and the conclusion has
been reached on these lines that the
superiority of the metal tie over the
wooden one is definitely established.
On one of the Austrian railroads.&c.
Kaiser Ferdinand Northern-a strictly
comparative series OF trials were made on
a long length of road, and extended over
the full period of nearly ten years above
noted, two parallel sections OF line being
equipped, one with the Heindl ties and
the other with ordinary wooden ones.
The traffic conditions on both of the Sec
tions were practically Identical; the ex-
pense records, which were carefully kept,
showed, as the result of the several years
of observation, a materially decreased ex-
penSe account for the metal tie section. AT
the same time the metal ties, after the full
period of use, were found to be still prac-
tioally as good as new, while the compet-
ing oak ties were in much deteriorated
state, Notwithstanding the fact that they
had been treated with chloride of zinc, an
admittedly excellent preservative.-Cas-

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, TO
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 12O, 100 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment Of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is 70 be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently mzde that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

Don Eduardo slept late into the morn
ing. When he awoke and had partaken
of the fruit and food placed beside him,
he found the carboneros' camp droning
along peacefully in its every day aspect.
His precious pannlers were safe. No
harm had betallen him. The weird ex-
periences of the previous night seemed
like half-caught memories of some fam
tastic dream.
Yet there were the burning charcoal
pyres. Tethered not far distant stood his
faithful donkey. Faint and distant thud-
dings, like the proud boomlngS of the
prairie fowl III northern frosty spring
time mornings, told of the wood chop
pers' steady toll. Women and children
were carrying tree limbs and stacking
them in pyramidal piles. Ninas and
maidens were going and coming between
cabins and mountain side fountains.
Wise old Tomasa stood beside her hut
door, stripping some cocoa leaves and
roots which, with delicious chicharones
or pork scraps, were TO serve for the COM
inc meal, and out there at the camp edge
was Matagas still bareheaded and bare
footed, moving with fine strong tread to-
ward an almost completed pyre, with an
| oxteaIn's load of timbers upon his splen-
did shoulders and head.
"a strange bandits stronghold -
/ thought the UOn, WDere on every lanu

All, the witchery of that last wordl
Why did this weakened scientist, the in
slant it escaped his lips, as with some
swift and subtle sympathy OF relevancy,
let his eyes eagerly sweep the campside
for Juanita and her birds? And where is
the pen TO trace that subtler instinct OF
human sympathy and human emulation
which, long before the don had arisen,
had prompted this wild thing of the camp
TO gather together her cages and birds and
set out fleetly. with fame in her cheeks
and a trill on her tongue, to the IIanos
and the sunless woods?
1t was a lonely day for the old don. He
fretfully bothered with few mountain
insects, passed in impatience the won
drous mountain ferns; petulantly exam
