The Women Know Rest.

Much comment has been caused by the
official reports of the United States and
Canadian Governments. in which are pre-
sented the evidences of the superior
strength, purity and wholesomeness of the
Royal Baking Powder.
1t is true that the good housewife looks
upon the concentrations of the Roval
Baking Powder from scientists and official
sources such as these very much like 1.-THE
gliding of refined gold" Her practical
experience long since taught her in the
most convincing wav the great usefulness
and superiority of the Royal article. A
higher proof than this she does not want
ana cannot have. Yet it is pleasant for
her to realize that the facts established Inv
these great competitive tests, these scien-
tlhc examinations made under direction of
the government, exactly parallel those She
had before worked ont in her own common
sense, practical way.
IL does not appear that any baking pow-

the Royal, either at the Government tests

A BRUTAL KICK.
Results i'm the Death of
Edward MCGEE.
Warrants Out for the Arrest of a
Railroad Brakeman on the Charge
of Manslaughter.

A warrant was sworn out in Judge Con-
Ian's court yesterday for the arrest of a
brakeman, name unknown, on the Dona.
hue road on the charge of manslaughter.
The complaining witness Is Peter j..
Petersen, SS1 Mission street
The warrant was placed In the hands
of Policeman r. j. Hanley, who immedi-
ately left for Tiouron to locate the brake
man aud arrest him. A witness to the as
sault accompanied him.
The charge has arisen out of the death
of Edward MCGEE at the City and County
Hospital early yesterday morning. McGee
was a widower and three of his children
are receiving their education in the or
phanage near San Rafael
On Sunday, September 2, Nc Gee, ac-
comDanied by Petersen, the complain ing
witness, and other friends, went TO the
orphanage to visit his children. On the
way home the train was crowded. Several
young fellows near where MCGEE was
seated were shouting and singing, when
the brakeman, powerful fellow, came
alene, and, addressing McGee, asked him
What in" are you making such a
noise fOr?" McGee said he was not maxi
ing any noise, and the brakeman grabbed
him by the coat-collar, dragged him out of
his seat and along the passageway to
McGee was naturally resisting such
summary electment, when the brakeman in
his rage % ade vicious kick at him. His
heavy boot struck McGee in the side with
such force as TO knock the wind clean out
OF him and leave him limp and helpless.
The other men in the car comprehending
the situation interfered, and the brakema o
left the car muttering threats agains. the
world In general. McGee lay groaniug in
the passagewsy till the train reached
Tlburon. He was carried ON board the
boat, and on its arrival IN the city he was
taken TO the Receiving Hospital in the
patrol wagon. There his case was 1iag-
nosed by DR.. Somers as Confusion of the
side and probable internal injuries.
MCGEE suffered intensely that night
from pains in his side. But he was mo
concerned about his horses not being a Bile
to get their usual feed. He was a ieamsteI
for the Sugar Refinery Company at the
Potrer0, and lived on Indiana street, near
YOlo.
He was sober, hard-working man. and
remarked when questioned as TO the as
sault upon him that il was not likely a
man over 90 years OF age, as he was, and a
wldower with seven children to support,
would yell and howl 10 a railroad car filled
with people.
1t was not thought that any serious re-
suits would ensue from the kick in his
side, but as he was not improving he was
sent 10 tile City and County Hospital on
the following Tuesday, and died early yes
terday morning. The body was removed
to the MOrgue.
An aut psy of the body showed that
death was caused by laceration of the
liver, caused by fractured rib

have struck admiration to the heart of an
elocutionist. 81 was no more angry than

Having thus beautifully and pathetcally
expressed her feelings on the wrong tha;

sought to flch from her glory Mrs. Foltz
kindly descended from her lofty pinnacle
and expressed her views on the Suffrage
Club case. Mrs. Blinn has no need

strong indeed on the subject"
AS for Mrs. Clara Foltz, who was ac-
cused by Mrs. Gordon of ruffling her
feathers like bluejay, and then talking
of her sacrifices on the altar of woma rs
cause, Mrs. Foltz appears to be troubled
with DO misgiyings as TO whose brow the
crown of glory should adOrn. From the
lofty pinnacle of emancipation to which
she had climbed in the cause Of woman it
was evident, from her remarks yesterday,
that she could look down with philosophic
pity upon the chickering's of weaker men,

THE HOLY LANDS.
A Vivid Description of the Old

The large auditorium of Simpson Memo
rial Church was well filed last evening
with a large and interested audience, at
tracted by lecture delivered by o. B.
Smith on 'The Holy Lands"
The affair was under the auspices of the
Young Peoples Society of the German
Zion Church. and proved to be one of the
most pleasing events OF its kind given for
some time past. Mr.. Smith is a traveller
of some repute and has devoted much of
his time in studying the lands and legends
of the Old World. He was assisted by a
series OF stereopticOn views, which ena bled
him TO enter into the more minute details
OF his narrative. The ruins of the famous
city OF Damascus were brought upon the
canvas with astonishing clearness and
dweIt upon at some length. TIE Dead
Sea and the historical JtrIan River were
vlvidly described, while Bethlehem. Jeru-
