A practical man lately became Wild

fish way to his wife, 30 that her friends
were surprised when they heard that
he had sold all her wedding gifts

ingenious excuse was this: II needed
a good watch, as she well knew. The
presents were of no use to me. and I
thought that, II sold them and used
the proceeds to get watch, 1t would
be like having 1t come from her" Ger

AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARE FORMED

The Men York 7,i1sne says "The habit of
taking headache powders Is increasing to an
alarming extent among great number Of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates, are claimed by the manu-
facturers to be positive and speedy cure for any
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient Is morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having tendency
to deaden pain. The habit Of taxing them Is
easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
of: Women usually begin taking them to re
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected to, and finally like the NOR
phine or opium fend. get into the habit Of taking
them regularly. imagining that they are in pain
If they happen to miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
in the stomach and liver. Take simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. Dr.,
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are composed
entirely. of the purest, concentrated,
vegetable extracts. One Pellet is a
dose; sugar-coated, easily swallowed;
once used, aizOays in fa0Ov. They posi-
lively cure sick headache and remove

A BULLET IN HIS HEAD.

Charles Meyer, furniture polisher, liv.

after wandering around for two or three
hours decided that life was not worth the
living: He sat down on one of the seats,
placed revolver to his right ear and fired.
Superintendent w. ]. Blain heard the
shot and found Meyer with a gaping
wound in the right side of his head. He
was not unconscious, but he declined to
say why he had attempted to take his life.
Superintendent Blain rang up the Six
teenth-street police station and asked that
the patrol wagon be sent to Thirtieth

Meyer on an electric car and accompanied
him to Thirtieth street, where the patrol
wagon was waiting.
Meyer was taken to the City and County

STRADLEY rs INDIGNANT.
The immigration Commissioner Says
the Steamship Oficials Often
DCceivo Him.

immigration Commissioner w. L. Strad-
ley is likely to lock horns with the several
steamship companies at any time for
violating the United States laws relative
to the carrying of immigrants.
Yesterday he learned that several of the
immigrants, who recently arrived from
Panama on the City of Sydney, have been
coached by the steamship officers as what
they should answer when questioned by
the Commissioner of immigration. Two
were almost without means and they
told to borrow $50 or $50 until they had
passed muster before the United States
officer. Mr.. Stradley is very indignant
that the steamship officers should conspire
to cheat the Government, and says if he
can secure proof of their guilt he will have
them arrested
When the Coptic arrived recently Mr..
Stradley found that one of the Jap immi-
grants had not been properly listed and he
hned the Occidental and Oriental Steam
ship Company $40.
MOn the last trip of the Colon from
Panama four immigrants had not been
listed and the Pacific mail was fined $40.
In that instance Mr.. Stradley found that
the purser had misrepresented the facts to
him by asserting that the passengers in
questions were not immigrants.

ISLE OF MONTE CR|STO,
A Great Resort Similar to
COney Island to Be
Established.
John McNear and the Golden Gate
Excursion Company In the
Scheme.

The Golden Gate Excursion Company.
in connection with John A. McNear, the
Petaluma millionaire, has perfected plans
for the development OF a Pacific Coast
Coney Island.
The site selected for the resort is the old
McNear landing on San Pablo Bay, an
hour and quarters ride from San Fran
cisco by water. The beach line is four
miles in length, and the several hundred
acres included in the property comprise all
the essential and diversified elements of a
model resort. There are wooded slopes,
glens, sylvan retreats, an abundance of
spring water piped to the grounds, fishing,
hunting and spots suitable for dancing
platforms, band stands and bicycle-tracks
1t is the purpose of the promoters of the
scheme to establish resort which shall be
like Coney Island. The McNear landing
has always been considered the proper and
natural terminus OF the San Francisco and
North Pacific Railway, but it is matter
of history that Peter Donahue, the original
owner and builder OF the line having had
trouble with those in control of the land
at the time the line was building, pre-
ferred to spend a million dollars in the
construction OF tunnels rather than enter
into compromise in the matter of rights
of way To that personal difference Thu
ron owes its existence.
Mr.. McNear has spent thousands of dol
lars in the Improvement of the property,
and he is heartily interested in the present
enterprise. He will meet the company
which has undertaken the development Of
the resort half way, and stand his share
of the expense, building wharves, boule-
wards, booths, racetracks, etc.
A shell road is to be constructed along
the shore, connecting with the driveway
leading to San Rafael. There is also to be
a rail connection between the resort and
San Rafael, so that persons can have the
choice OF two routes-by boat direct or by
boat and rail via San Rafael. The place
will be called Monte Cristo.
