Trilby Last Night.

This somewhat shallow play was
repeated to large audience at the
Opera house last night. Curiosity
was satisfied. The company was
an all star one and fully capable.
The play afforded splendid oppor-
tunities for posing, makeup, and
some tall kicking by the lady
members. 1t will scarcely stand
another seasons run.

CITY is WEALTHY.
A TOTAL VALUATION OF S737, 500
PROPERTY.
The Values, Too, Are Far Below the
Figures of the Real Estate
Market.

The city assessor, assisted byCity
Clerk Norton, has compiled par
tial list of all real estate and build
ings owned by the city, as called
for by Alderman Mackey's resolu-
ton, and the same foots up a
handsome total, as below pub
lished, and the list is not quite
complete, either, as some scattered
pieces have yet to be looked up
and added.
The total value of real estate is
figured at $21O, 300; improvements
1921, 200. Grand total $737, 800.
The values are put rather low, too,
as San Pedro park, 80 acres, is only
valued at $4,000, which it could
not be bought for; the rock quar-
ries at only $4,000; the railroad
reserve of 20 acres at only $50, 900 !;
city hall at $4,000, when the
building alone cost $20S,0O0. The
total value of all school property
is put at $500, $50, the real estate
at $50, $50, and the improvements
at $240,300.
The value of real estate owned in
the fire department is ST., 100,
buildings $21, 700, a total of $32, 800.

OUR SUPERB CRUISER.
The Columbia Is the Fastest War Vessel
in the World.

The Columbia Is the Fastest War Vessel
in the World.
The speed-test trip of the cruiser Co
lumbia across the Atlantic has given
most encouraging results. 1t was made
under direction of the navy department
and for purposes of navy department
information.
This cruiser was built to chase and
destroy the merchant ships of our enemy
in case of war. The. recent trip was
meant to find out how well fitted she is
for her work, and it has been more than
satisfactory.
Under forced draught-that is to say.
on a spurt-this vessel has already
made an average speed of 22.s1 knots
an hour over a 100-mile course, and
has achieved for brief time the al
most incredible speed of 24.77 knots, or
about $50 miles, per hour. Itremained
to find out what her capacity in ordi-
nary cruising is, and this run has de-
termined it. Without the use of forced
draught and with only the ordinary

wanted Ito, the wretches dragged her
around the apartment by her long,
beautiful black hair-now touched with
silver-and grievously maltreated her,

hero of many another strange adven-

career, and has lived to give his coun-

of the foremost and best-respected

OUR OCEAN MAIL FLAG.
The Beautiful Pennant Now
Flown by a Dozen Vessels.
All of Them Are Subsidized by Uncle Sam
- The Famous American Line
Flyers Soon to BE Added
to the List.

An official government flag is seen in
this country nowhere but in the port
of New York, and on the high seas
only between that port and the cities
of La Guayra, Venezuela, Havana,
Cuba and Tuxpan, Mexico. 1t is the
pennant of the ocean mail service, and
flies upon the mizzen masts of twelve
subsidized American vessels carrying
the United States mails by contract,
says the New York World.
1t consists of red flag with blue
border, having the American eagle in
blue and the words: Omitted States
Mail" in white letters. 1t measures if
teen feet long and has been in use a
little over two years. Last year it
was seen also in San Francisco and
along the Pacific route to Panama and
Hong Kong, but the contract with the
steamship lines that bore it was dis
continued.
Next month another vessel, the st.
Louis, will be tested preparatory to
adding it the list of subsidized con-
tract steamers flying the ocean mail
pennant, and in October following, this
ship, together with the New York and
the,Paris, also of the American line, and
already carrying the mails, but not
under contract, will begin service an
der contract at Southampton, Eng
land. Later the st. Paul, of the same
lipe, will be added to the contract list,
making in all sixteen vessels flying
Uncle Sans postal flag.
The test of the st. Louis will be con-
Quoted in the English channel, by Capt.
Royal B. Bradford and Lieut.. Richard
T. Mulligan, of the United States navy,
in accordance with the requirements of
the ocean mall subsidy act of 1891. The
naval officers will lay off course
measuring about one hundred miles in
the channel, and the st. Louis will be
speeded rapidly over this course to de-
termine officially its running capacity.
Under the ocean mail subsidy act she
must as such be able to maintain a
speed of twenty knots per hour for four
consecutive hours.

tending our foreign commerce, upbuild-
ing our merchant marine and securing
feet of fast ocean steamers for con-
version into warships in case of need
by the payment of subsidies for carry
ing the mails. The subsidized vessels
employed must be American in every
sense.
The vessels are divided into four
classes. The first, second and third
classes must be of iron or steel, and the
fourth class may be of either iron, steel
or wood. The first class must have a
speed of twenty knots an hour and a
tonnage of not less than 5000 tons; the
second speed of sixteen knots an
hour and tonnage of at least 5000
tons; the third speed of fourteen
knots and tonnage of at least $500
tons; the fourth speed of twelve
knots an hour and a tonnage of not
less than 1,500 tons.
First-class ships carrying the mails
by contract received under the subsidy
act 81 per mile for each outgoing voy-
age. Second-class ships receive 50 per
mile, third class 81 and fourth-class Sc
cents per mile. Each vessel must take
as cadets or apprentices one American
born boy for every 1000 tons register
and one for every majority fraction
thereof, to be educated in seamanship
and ranked as petty officers.
The first subsidized routes put in
operation under the subsidy act were
from New York to La Guayra, New
York to Colon, San Francisco to Pana-
ma and S3a Francisco to Hong-Kong.
beginning in February and March,
1892. Service on two other subsidized
routes-from New York to Tuxpan and
intermediate ports and New York to
Havana-was begun in November, 1892,
and on two more-from New York to
Rio de Janeiro and New York to Bue-
nos Ayres-in December, 1892. These
last two were stopped in January 1898,
by reason of the failure of the con-
tractors, and the contract service from
San Francisco to Panama was discon-
tinued in September, 1898, and likewise
upon two additional routes, from New
York to Colon and from San Francisco
to Hong-Kong, in March, 1894, at the
desire of the contractors upon the ex-
piration of their two years contract,
because of their inability to furnish in
creased service.
Contracts were also entered into in
1892 for subsidized route from New
York to Antwerp, the service to begin
in October, 1895, and for a route from
Galveston to La Guayra, but last year
they were annulled at the request of
the contractors.
The subsidized routes now remaining
are those from New York to La Guayra,
Havana and Tuxpan. The La Guayra
service costs Ss1, 2ss year, the Havana
service s7S, 47o and the Tuxpan $3.50, 1O4.
The new southampton route will cost
$3.50, 704 year.

evening. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Mr.. j. l.. Slayden.
The object of the meeting was to

Ahearn and Ross Are Talking a
Great Deal Between Drinks.
Now that Pugilist Ross was Bit
ten on the foot by a dog, and that
the Ross-Ahearn glove contest has
been postponed, these young as
pirants for pugilistic fame are u.s.
ing the golden opportunity for
free advertising to advantage.
Ahearn accuses Ross OF trying to
crawl out of the match, while. Ross
says Ahearn is bluff and
that he will lick him on
one foot. 1t seems that no
articles of agreement, as is always
customary, had been drawn up and
signed for the fight of September
5.
Ross and Ahearn met in the
Mission Athletic club rooms yes
terday afternoon for the purpose of
signing articles of agreement and
posting forfeit. The matter of
division of the gate receipts seems
to be a drawback to the match.
Forty per cent of the gross receipts
are to go to the management of
the affair for expenses, ETC., while
the balance goes to the winner. 1t
is claimed that Ahearn wants the
receipts divided equally, the loser
to receive as much as the winner.

N erves

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the or
gans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and if the blood is thin, inn
pure or insufficient, they are in a state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
to the brain, the king of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable expla-
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the healthful nourishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.
