Mr.. Charles B. Lewis is more familiarly
known to the thousands WHOSE life he has
cheered as NJ. Quad. 1t must be more
than score of years since the country was
laughing over the sayings of his honor and
Bijah, chronicled by Mr.. Lewis to the
Detroit Free Press. From that time until
now NJ. Quad has delighted the public
with unnumbered quaint sketches OF
character, overhowing with humor that
appealed to readers all the more strongly
because they recognized the fidelity to life
under the fun.
Among MIR. Lewis recent creations the
Bowsers, Brother Gardiner, Mrs. Gallup's
Tribulations, Possum Sketches and the
Arizona Kicker are destined to long life
Mr.. Lewis admirers will be surprised to
learn that, like Walter Scott, Mark Twain
and other highly gifted authors, he has
produced work of rare quality while tor
mented by pain.

town Rooms.

The expose made by THE CALL some
time ago regarding the harm done by the
numerous poolrooms that flourish and
grow opulent in this City resulted yester-
day in the Judiciary Committee of the
Board of Supervisors reporting favorably
on an ordinance which, if approved by the
board, will put an end to pool-selling out
side of the racetracks in the City and
County of San Francisco.
The Grand Jury took the latter up
after THE CALL had shown the thorough
rottenness of the system and the number
of young men who were being ruined by
spending their earnings and any other
money they might be able to lay hands on
in these resorts, and their recommends
tions to the Supervisors were acted upon.
The measure is as binding and compre-
hensive as the best legal talent procurable
could make it, and while it is known that
the booksellers, who are amassing for
tunes through their operation. will fight it
to the last resort, it is believed that the
new order has no loopholes through
which they can escape. The full text of
the new ordinance is as follows:
: Prohibiting all persons from engaging in
selling pools or bookmaking, or making bets
or wageTs on horse races wherein money or
other articles of value are staked or pledged,
or placing of money for such purposes by car
riers, agents, brokers or commissioners, except
in certain places.
The people of the City and County of San
Francisco do ordain as follows: +.
SECTION l. Any person or persons or corpora
ton who, except within the enclosures of
racetrack or fair where horse-race meetings
are being actually conducted, keeps any room,
shed, tenement or BOOTH building or any part

strument or device for the purpose of recording

than rundown" nerveless condition. +
Paine's celery compound increases the
appetite by giving healthy tone to the
stomach; it makes sure that the entire
nervous system gets completely nourished.
1t regulates the bowels and the kidneys
nd'encourages them to get rid of harmful
and poisonous matter that the sluggish
system has allowed to lodge in the blood,
thus causing rheumatism and kindred dis
orders.
You cannot cure rheumatism by out
ward applications. The disease is due to
internal disorder and must be constitu-
tionally attacked and got rid of. Paine's
celery compound has done for thousands
OF other people exactly what it did for Mr.
Lewis. They were sufferers as he was,
and the compound has made them well.
The warmest praises of Paine's celery
compound are from men and women of
high character and keen intelligence:
They know they are doing a work of hu-
manity and mercy in commencing to all
persons out of health this certain and
speedy means of getting strong and well.

A Pacific Coast Cycle Show.

The time seems ripe for cycle show on the
Pacific Coast. While the eyes of the bicycling
world are attracted to Chicago and New York
through the cycle shows which are to be held
IN each OF those cities the coming winter THE
CALL believes that the bicycle people of the
Pacific Coast should not lose sight of their own
opportunities.
bicycle show in San Francisco would at.
tract the attention of the manufacturers OF the
united States; 1t would be factor of instruc-
non 10 our own people, who are alive to all
oeVeopments In art, science and advanced
principles OF manufacturing and 1t might tend
10 Drihg 10 maturity some of the many propo-
sltlons advanced during the past season for the
citizens.
Aside from the importance of q cycle show as
an instrument of instruction to our manufac-
turers, the blcycle-dealers of the coast would
uhoouoteuly welcome a cycle show this win ter.
IL would give splendid impetus to cycling
ana oHer an opportunity for presenting the
various lines of bicycles 10 the public in a
pleasing and attractive manner
Inc bicycle clubs might well join in this
mater and get up some general attractions
tnat would draw individual wheelmen from
an parts OF the coast here Gt the same time,
ana IL could be made an event long TO be re-
memDered in coast cycling history.

TWO LONG SENTENCES,
A Forger and Grand Larcenist Given
Thirty-Five Years Each by
Judge Wallace.

Two hardened criminals will retire from
public view for some little time as result
of sentence day before Judge Wallace yes
terday. One was George III. Gallagher,
charged with forgery for having forged
the name of J. Pecht to an order on Till
man d Bendel for two barrels of sugar.
He is 40 years old and az old offender, as
he has once before been convicted of for
gerry and once of grand larceny, so his
Honor sent him to the State prison for
thirty-five years.
Richard Kelly, convicted of grand lar
ceny for having robbed man of 5000, also
came up for sentence. The weight of
three prior convictions for the same offense
rested upon him, so he, too, was given a
sentence of thirty-five years. 1t is only
about year since Kelly was released from
San Quentin after serving sentence of
fourteen years for his favorite crime
grand larceny.

magnificent specimen of the canine species

The dog, which was once the favorite
pet of the French actress, is, together with
the peculiarly inscribed collar, a source of
a great deal of interest and wonder to
many people. 1t is female of the great
Dane breed, stands nearly three feet high
and weighs over $50 pounds. Persons
passing along Bush street, between Kearny

Rheumatism attacks the body when it is
tired out, and when its functions begin to
act sluggishly. Disordered nerves, faulty
digestion and slow, incomplete nutrition

do neuralgia and nervous debility. There

person who is lover of animals is at once
attracted to the creature, not only by her
massive proportions, but because Myrtha,
for that is her name, has an Enthusiastically
distinguished appearance for dog.
The information received from the in
scription on the collar at first creates
amusement, sensation which is speedily
followed by one of curiosity to know more
of Myrtha's history and SO Nine. Bertin,
in front of whose establishment she is
always seen. and who is now her mistress,
must relate her story.
Myrtha is not only a thoroughbred
Great Dane, but she is essentially blue
blood in the strictest sense of the term, for
she is the scion of royalty. She was pre-
sented to Sara Bernhardt by Alexander
II, the Gar OF Russia, as token Of his
appreciation of her histrionic achieve
ments. 1t was after an imperial perform
ance of "Cleopatra" in st. Petersburg in
1888 that Bernhardt was thus honored by
Alexander.
The dog, then but puppy. was christ
ened Myrtha and became the most favored
she was not only pet but followed
Nine. Bernhardt as a bodyguard wher-
ever she went.
When Bernhardt came to San Francisco
in 1891 Myrtha was regular member of
the company, but when the Australian
trip was undertaken she had to be left
behind, as the management did not care to
incur the expense of taking along a
veterinary surgeon to care for her, which
was one of the steamship company's re-
quirements. So Nine. Bertin, who looked
after Bernhardt's wardrobe during the San
Francisco engagement, was given charge
of the royal pet until the return of its
mistress. When Bernhard returned to
San Francisco she decided to bestow
Myrtha upon her manager. Henry F..
Abbey. That gentleman took Myrtha to
the Palace Hotel to live, but the first
night she destroyed about 800 worth of
furniture. When Mr.. Abbey had to
settle for her pranks he concluded
Myrtha was an expensive pet and returned
her to her old mistress.
Nine. Bernhardt had come to look upon
the dog as an cumbrance, and so be-
slowed her upon Nine. Bertin.
And so il is that a memb Der of the royal
family of Russia has become contenIed to
make its abode in dyeing establishment
on Bush street.

corded that the man with the quiet

Governor Budd yesterday flew in the
face of superstitious notions by telephon-
Ing to Mrs. Hunt, who is arranging the
Children's Hospital concerts, that he
wanted to engage box II for the opening
night in the Pavilion. The box has been
christened the "hoodoo box" and at the
sale of boxes and seats last Wednesday by
George A. knight he called particular at
tention to the number, 13, and tried to
impress upon the purchasers that 13 is a
lucky number. He said that he would
guarantee that the purchaser of tha: box
would have good luck in love, marriage
and business affairs, but even the new
colonels guarantee was OF no avail and the
box went a-begging.
Soon after the Governor heard that there
was hoodoo box in the show and he de-
termined to have it. Whether he was
allured by Knights promises or spurred on
by the determination to sit where others
feared to rest is not known. The Cover
nor was to some extent disappointed IN his
desires, for he was told by Mrs. Hunt that
after the auction sale Eugene Lent had
been impressed with Knights promises
and had quietly made a bid for good luck
by buying the ticket Tor the box for the
opening concert.
The Governor was told that he could
have the hoodoo box for the second night
or box y on the opening night 1t is be-
lieved that he will accept the latter, as
those who know him say that he will not
take box 13 when the hoodoo is rubbed off.
But Governor Budd will be there, hoodoo
or no hoodoo.
Manager Geisler of Sherman & Claws,
where the tickets are for sale, stated that
the sales yesterday were very large. At
the present rate OF disposing of admis-
sions all of the seats on the main floor for
the opening night will be sold by tonight.
Among those who obtained boxes yester-
day. were William Alvord, H. S. Crocker
and Governor Budd, but the latter's box,
as stated, has not yet been selected.
General Dickinson yesterday informed
the management that he would be glad to
perform any service that could be sug-
gested. He thought that a body of militia
men in uniform to act as ushers would
present striking appearance. The idea
was we'll received, and the general has
tened away to find thirty National Guards
men who will volunteer their services as
ushers during the concerts. He said that
there will be no difficulty in securing the
services of the whole regiment, if neces-
sary for this purpose. He expects to re-
ceive more offers than he will have places
to fill.

Before the Logan sailed there was re-

She is about fifty tons burden, but every
inch of space has been utilized, and those
who travel in her will find very comfort
