For tha Skin.

Good complexion waits on diet.
Avoid all four-legged animals. This CIV
ing up of all heavy meats. like beef,
veal, mutton and pork, has been success
full in many cases of unhealthy or color
less skins For women 1t is not such a
sacrifice to forego meat. and in a very
short time one becomes perfectly in
different to it. There is plenty left in
the world to eat, such as poultry, eggs,
game, vegetables and milk. Give the
stomach, which is the seat of all evil,
less work to do and the whole system
will feel the beneficial effect.
The more fresh air and exercise you
take, the better, and above all, remem-
out of a bad one, is a matter of patience,
time and a regular attendance to these
simple rules of health.

pOsite Experiences.
Policeman L. B. Gordon was convicted
by Judge Joachimsen about two weeks ago
for battery upon Frank O'Brien, son OF
ex-Tax Collector O'Brien, at Suffer and
Devisadero streets on Saturday night, 18th
of May.
Gordon, before being sentenced, filed
affidayits asking for new trial on various
grounds, among them that he had obtained
five new witnesses. The Judge granted
him new trial, which took place before a
jury yesterday afternoon. Gordon was
represented by Attorney Andy Clunie, and
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Graham
conducted the prosecution.
Several witnesses testified to Gordon
being an efficient officer and a terror to
young ''hoodlums" in the neighborhood.
Sergeant Monaghan testified that Gordon
was perfectly sober on the night in ques-
ton, OBrien having charged him with be-
ing drunk. After the arguments of coun-
sci the jury retired and in few minutes
returned with verdict of not guilty.
The Police Commissioners last night
heard the charge of battery and unofficer-
like conduct preferred by O'Brien against
Gordon. A large number of witnesses were
examined and Gordon was fined $25.

Henry Cowell Accuses Him of Embez-
zl1ng-Willis ID. Davis Made De-
PENDANT of a Suit

1t is not usual for a criminal charge in
volving the embezzlement of $1S0,0Oo to be
made the subject of civil suit Yester-
day, however, Henry Cowell, surviving
partner of the late firm of Davis Il Cowell,
lime merchants, filed complaint against
Willis E. Davis to recover that amount
which he charges Davis embezzled while
acting as agent and collector of the firm.
1t appears that the statute of limitations
bars a criminal action, for the alleged
crime took place as far back as 1887. The
complaint sets forth that in that year the
firm, of which the late Isaac E. Davis was
then senior partner, employed Davis as its
agent and collector. Davis, it is stated,
managed, without exciting the least sus-
picion, 20 embezzle the large sum Of $780,
900, making no returns on the same, but
converting it to his own use.
In 1883 the plaintiff, Henry Cowell,
learned of his loss and demanded his
money. but the complaint states that Davis
has refused to return it or to render any
account thereof. As a criminal action is

TWO RESP|TES GRANTED,
Warden Hale to Hang Three,
Instead of Five, MurdererS
Tomorrow.
Patrick Collins, Antony Azoff and
Amelio Garcia Are the Doomed
Men.

Warden Hale's preparations to hang five
murderers at San Quentin tomorrow were
interfered with yesterday by two reprieves
from Governor Budd.
The five men sentenced to die were Pat
rick Collins, Fremont Smith, Antony
Azoff, Amelio Garcia and Rico Morasco.
The two respites were for Smith and
Morasco. Smiths execution is postponed
until August and Morasco is given almost
two years longer to live, b is reprieve being
until March 1, 1897.
Every possible effort has been made by
Collins counsel to save him from the gal
lows. His attorney has claimed that when
Governor Budd granted him respite it
virtually set aside the sentence OF the
court. Injunction proceedings were at
tempted against Warden Hale, who forth
with sought conference with Attorney
General Fitzgerald.
Collins is a wife-murderer. In October,
1873, his wife, who was a janitress In the
Max Adler kindergarten at Second and
Folsom streets, was stabbed by him
twenty-eight times about the face, head,
breast and arms. She lived in rear room
at Is Tehama street, endeavoring to sup
port her two children by what remunera-

Man, Dies at the Receiving
Hospital.

Herman Brenning, 610H Polk street, was
taken to the Receiving Hospital about 6
o'clock last evening, and died in few
minutes from what is supposed to have
been opium poisoning.
Brenning was about % years OF age, and
was native of Stuttgart, Germany. He
came to the United States about three
years ago, and after wandering about, set
tied in Butte, Mont, about ten months
ago.
He was married there, and came here

some money with him but lost it in specu-
lation. He was unable for some time to
get any work, but recently had been en-
ployed as an insurance solicitor.
He went home yesterday afternoon
about 80 o'clock, and went with his wife
to a restaurant on Larkin street and had
luncheon. While there he was drowsy,
and when they went home he fell into a
deep sleep.
Becoming alarmed, his wife sent for Dr.
Mcneil, Van Ness avenue, who had been
treating him for kidney, brain and heart
troubles. After working for him some
time DR.. Mcneil ordered him sent to the
hospital, as he suspected he was suffering

A HORRIBLE SUSPICION.
Martin McDermott Says His Son Wa
Poisoned.

Martin McDermott Says His Son Was
Poisoned.
John McDermott, laundryman, living
at 232 Hickory avenue, died last night,
according to his fathers story, under very
peculiar circumstances.
Although the certificate of death was
signed by DR.. F. 8. Cook and named the
malady as erysipelas, his father, Martin
McDermott, refused to accept the ply
sician's statement and has demanded an
autopsy to ascertain the cause of death.
He said that his sons wife administered
poison to him il his medicine, either &C
cidentally or intentionally, and the state
ment that death was caused by erysipelas
was simply ruse to cover the crime.
McDermott was to be buried to-day IN
der the auspices of the Salvation Army, as
his wife is an army lass, but the father OBJ
jects to the shroud being the red emblem
of the army. He wishes his son to be bur-
led by the Catholic Church, in which his
family has been reared.
