AS TO EX-PRESIDENTS.

Benjamin Harrison seems to have
successfully solved the problem of
what to do with our ex-presidents by
going to work, man fashion, in the
profession of his choice as if he had
never been president or anything else
than a successful attorney. According
to one of General Harrison's close
friends his receipts from his law
practice during the past IS months in
cases in which he appeared in court
aggregated more than the presidents
salary, and, besides this, he had made
large fees in cases where he had acted
only as advisory counsel. He has
appeared in the argument of the case
of the city of Indianapolis against the
street railroad company, for which
he received fee of $25, 1000; in the
McKeen-Ives case, involving the
ownership Of the Vandalia railroad
for which he received fee of $25, 900;
in the Morrison will case at Richmond
where he was paid $4,000. In addi-
ton to this he received $1,000 for each
of Is law lectures delivered at the
Stanford university. These services
melted him SS5, ZOO and besides these
he has been connected with number
of no less important cases in which
he has not appeared in court at all,
but which he has really directed.

Supervisor Spreckels. ''They might go on
with the work. l move that we take a
temporary stipulation now until the mat
ter is disposed of by the board
Mayor Sutro was examining the resolu-
ton introduced by Supervisor Hughes, and
he suddenly discovered that it referred
only to California street and omitted
Church street entirely. He announced this
discovery.
Il would suggest that Church street be
inserted in the resolution said Super
visor Dimond.
"The Mayor has certain rights, and he
may act in the premises whether the board
acts or not, said Mayor Sutro.
Attorney Foulds asked leave to withdraw
from signing stipulation which Clerk
Russell had drawn by which the railroad
agreed to suspend operations.
The work is stopped" he said t'and I
will pledge the company not continuing
operations
"Never mind California street in the
resolution so much as Church street." said
Mayor Sutro. "They have erected all the
poles they want there. l come from meet
ing Mr.. Huntington just half an hour ago
on that matter"
"Aha," exclaimed Supervisor Morgen-
stern "There was private meeting be-
tween you and Mr.. Huntington as regards
California street, and you call us together
to settle the Church street matter"
THAT was a private meeting in regard
to another thing" said the Mayor. eyes,
we had meeting, but Church street was
not mentioned. The California-street
resolution is no good, for they have erected
all the poles they wanted"
GAS this is question between the Sutro
road, and the Market-street line" said
Supervisor Hughes, "they should settle
their own disputes"
~ move to refer to the City and County
Attorney" said Supervisor Spreckels, 'the
question whether the railroad has any
right to tear up and lay tracks on Church
street. The matter of California street
seems to be more important to some peo-
pie than the question of Church street,
Supervisor Spreckels motion was amend
ed so as to include California street, and
the whole matter was referred to the CITY
and County Attorney, who promised to
have an opinion ready by Monday, if such
were possible. The original Hughes reso-
luton was reconsidered. The board adj
journed, with the understanding made
with Attorney Foulds that the railroad
company was to suspend operations pend
ing action by the board.
After adjournment Mayor Sutro was
asked about his meeting with H. Z. Hunt
ington, and he answered: 'sFor some
weeks back thelawyers of the Market-street
line and my attorneys have been trying to
reach an agreement as regards the turning
of my road from Central avenue into Cali.
fornia street. A number of stipulations
have been drawn, but none has been mu
tually satisfactory. The insinuation of Su-
pervisor Morgenstern was uncalled for.
The meeting with Mr.. Huntington and his
lawyers was arranged some days ago be-
the meeting to-day i told Mr.. Huntington
that | was fighting him and would always
do so. If | cannot get an agreement to
turn my line into California street, / will
start and build it right away and turn it in
without any agreement"

Clergymen to-day need big hearts and
sound nerves to accomplish all the good
they intend.
1t isn't merely the fact of preaching once
week that makes the life of the minister
of to-day so wearing on nerves and brain.
Their everyday labor is a round of exact
ing duties that tax heavily their nervous
strength.
The modern minister must keep up his
enthusiasm, his hopefulness and his gen.
uine love of his work. He must feel
strongly, think deeply and have confidence
in his labor and in himself.
But all this taxes heart and brain to their
uttermost. 1t calls for tremendous out
week and 1855 every year. Many clergymen
break down utterly nnder the nervous
strain.
Rev. I. P. Quimby, the well-known Bos-
ton preacher, has been saved from nervous
prostration.
In publication of his Sunday School he
has recently published the following open
letter:
Boston, Nov. 20, 1894
Never in my life have I commended any
proprietary medicine, but L would be dere-
lict in duty if l failed to let the public
know what great boon to humanity l be-
lieve Paine's celery compound to be. With
family of seven, l have not paid dollar
for doctor in ten years, and [ owe it to
the fact that l always keep Paine's celery
compound on hand, and when any of US
are tout of sorts, administer it.

rected to prevent the further erection of poles
upon California street, between Central avenue
and First avenue, until further order of this
board and that the question as to the right of
the Market-street Railway Company to main
tain the poles already erected and proposed to
be erected by it in said street be referred to the
City and County Attorney for his opinion.
Supervisor Taylor suggested that City
and County Attorney Creswell be sent for,
and that official in few moments put in
an appearance.
ave have sent for you,p said Mayor
Sutro, ''to ask your advice as to the power
of the board to instruct the superintendent
of Streets to remove certain tracks laid
where there is no franchise"
"They can instruct, certainly" replied
City and County Attorney Creswen.
Whether they have the power to enforce
the obedience is another question"
"If the Street Superintendent chooses to
disobey the order" said the Mayor, cit
will be his duty to show cause"
81 was asked a similar question by
Superintendent Ackerson," said Creswell,
'but declined TO advise him on the ground
that was not his private attorney Off
hand would say the board has right to
| direct the Street Superintendent to do
what he ought to do, but not to do what
he ought not"
eff party has no authority to tear up a
street can the Street Superintendent re-
move the work?" asked the Mayor.
81 don't know about that, F" replied Cres-
well. IF you send me communication
will get at the points involved as quickly
as possible"
"There must be some remedy for a case
like this" said Mayor Sutro, "or else we
would have chaos"
"There is no chaos where there are
courts to adjudicate rights, F." returned the
City and County Attorney. "The courts
are always open to protect rights by proper
proceedings"
"Then you consider there is no remedy"
said the Mayor.
You misconstrue my language. J"
answered Creswell, "for it is maxim of
the law there is no wrong without a
remedy"
Mayor Sutro glared moment at the
speaker and exclaimed
"There must be an immediate remedy
for such a case as this. If we wait for the
decisions of Supreme courts the wrong will
have been done and consummated. | be-
leve the Superintendent of Streets has
full power in the matter and that the
Board of Supervisors can direct him.

compelled to pay the expense of their re-
moval. If you allow the Southern Pacific
or Market-street line to do these things
what is going to become of US? You must
keep up the dignity of the government.
You ought TO act promptly and instruct
the Superintendent of Streets to take up
those tracks and poles and restore the
street to its normal condition.
81 want you now as board to show you
are no more afraid of railroad company
than you are of an individual. The police
have arrested a number of the poor work
men, who were only obeying' orders. II
had my way I would have arrested G. P.
Huntington, E. P. Vining and Henry
Lynch, the men who gave orders. Let us
deal with all people alike. | ask you to
act with promptitude and sustain the dig
nifty of the government"
When the Mayor concluded his address
Supervisor Spreckels said: 81 would like
to ask if the railroad had a franchise on
Church street and was it abandoned?"
''Mr. Mayor" asked Supervisor Taylor,
shave you conferred with the City and
County Attorney"
81 have not" returned the Mayor; "but
l have consulted with my secretary, who is
good lawyer
"Why, ask, " returned Supervisor Tay-
lor, sis because / want to be sure 1 am
right before 1 go ahead. l remember a
former case where members of board were
sues for $50, 900 on their bonds for ordering
Street Superintendent to do this kind of
work"
"Will you please state the case?" asked
the Mayor. Supervisor Taylor explained
an ancient case, but gave no names or cir
cumstances.
"The present case is clear one as to our
duties" said the Mayor.
Supervisor Hughes introduced the fol-
lowing resolution, which was Immediately

that this controversy has not been sub
mitted to the law department of the rail
road, and we are not familiar with the
facts of the case. l imagine there is some
defect claimed in the abandonment of the
Church-street franchise, but what it is I
am not prepared to state. The Market
street line has no desire to violate the law.
1t may be that some OF its superintendent
have overstepped their mark, and exec eded
their instructions"
"Will the railroad agree to let their men
stop work on these streets?'' inquired Su-
pervisor Dimond, pending the settlement
of the matter by the board2''
eyes, we will agree to let everything re-
main in statu quo" returned Attorney
Foulds. "If anything has been done
wrong, it has been done inadvertently. I
will agree that all work shall be stopped
and operations suspended, while the board
considers the matter and our law depart
ment examines the questions involved"
"Would it not have been better to have
examined it before?" inquired Mayor
Sutro. "Will you sign such stipulation
agreeing that the railroad will suspend
operations?"
AT first Attorney Foulds agreed to sign
such a document on behalf of the railroad
company, but afterward said he did not
feel like doing so, but that the officers of
the railroad would sign one the next day.

Both wife and [, in our arduous church

Yours for Paine's celery compound
REV. 1. P. QUIMBY,
Pastor OF Broad0Gy Church, Boston, Bass.
When the nervous strength has become
from any cause impoverished, Paine's eel
cry compound succeeds as nothing else has
ever done.
From state of depression, exhaustion
and ifelessness the nerves grow strong,
active, and perfectly nourished by means
OF Paine's celery compound, the great
modern nerve and blood remedy that makes
people well. And with the strengthening
and regulating of the nerves the disorders
that depend on the faulty nutrition of these
tissues disappear. Such are rheumatism,
neuralgia, heart weakness, headaches, low
spirits lack of strength, and that general
poor health that is so impossible to define.
Sound nerves, healthy blood and an all
rounds vigorous constitution of the body is
the invariable effect of taking Paine's cell
cry compound. This great modern restor-
alive corrects arrangement OF the nervous
system, and averts prOstration when pro-
tracted strain has rednced it to an eX-
hausted, poorly fed, devitalized condition.
