lowing testimonial. / have several times

Poisoned With Creeping Ivy.
AS the old school of medicine simply tried
to remove the symptoms instead of the
sources OF them, much of the poison was
left IN my system to appear in an itching
humor on my body with every violent ex-
ertion in warm weather At all times tbere
were more or less indications of poison in
my blood, up to q year ago last winter. when
Large Sores Broke Out

Hoods Sarsaparilla, and after using that
and a half of another bottle, the sores and
humor disappeared. 1 attended the Christ
ian Endeavor Convention in Montreal and
also visited the Worlds Fair in the hottest
weather of the summer. Was on the 90 all

NOfNABLE LEGISLATION.
SACRAMENTO, March 16.-At the eley-

In despair. Through much travail they
had obtained the passage of their bill
IN the Assembly. The Senate was a scene
Of many vicissitudes. Every victory was

The committees met, talked and agreed to

Each time the Assembly committee had

CANNOT SWAP LOTS.
KILLING OF A BILL RELATING TO
THE FERRY BRIDGE.


THE FERRY BRIDGE.
SACRAMENTO, March 16.-A last at
tempt was made by Dixon of San Fran
cisco TO effect the passage of Senate bill 81,
authorizing the Harbor Commissioners to
trade water front lot for the triangular
lot where Market, East and Sacramento
streets meet. The bill was refused passage
two days ago and its consideration was
postponed yesterday. This was to get
time for quiet and effective work.
Dixon to-day announced that a number
of the members had voted against the bill
under misapprehensiOn and that they
wanted a change. As a dreadful eX-
ample he called on Reid of Trinity for a
few remarks. Reid announced that he had
not understood the matter fully before, as
he understood there was great disparity
in the size of the lots to be traded. He
traded, but now that he knew particular
piece of land was specified for the trade he
was willing to swap.
Waymire of Alameda had made mis-
take, too. He had understood that the
Harbor Commissioners had money enough
in their treasury to pay for the land. He
therefore had opposed trading for it. He
had learned in the last two days that this
money had to be used for other purposes,
and so he had decided to vote for the bill
Belshaw of Contra Costa had learned
that the triangle in question brought in
rental of $1,000 a month, and he was afraid
it would cost more money than the State
would want to pay out to get place for
the foot of their passenger bridge.
Ewing, however, protested that the State
wanted to keep all the land it had, and
should buy more rather than give, sell, or
trade away. As far as rental was con-
cerned he understood that the property to
be traded would bring a heavier rental
than the triangle, and he wanted no recon-
sideration.
When the bill came to vote there were
only thirty-three members in favor of re-
consideration and twenty-eight against.
This sent the bill to the graveyard.
The San Francisco delegation was di-
vided on the question. Those opposing it
We're: Coughin 3D., Ewing (P.), Healey
CD. Powers (R.). Those favoring it were :.
Bettman (R.), Boothby (R.), Devine CD,
Dinkelspiel (R.), Dixon (R.) Merrill (R).

THE ASSEMBLY.

MANY BILLS RUSHED THROUGH
WITH FEvERIsH HASTE.
SACRAMENTO, March 49, With fever
ish haste the Assembly attacked their file
to-day A few hours was all that remained
to pass upon bills. A few that had been
left off the file were struggled in, but the
greater part of the day was spent in clear
ing up the files.
1t was decided to cease considering bills
at l o'clock. At 1890 o'clock it became
evident that the time would not suffice,
but the clocks in the Assembly were
stopped and l clock was not reached till
after the Assembly adjourned.
Finally all the important measures were
in FROM the Senate, exceptethe tax levy and
the revenue bills. The Assembly waited
for these, but wasted no time At last at
O'Clock the two bills arrived
The amount of the tax levy was materi-
ally reduced. The general fund was re-
duced from IS, 1853, 106 to $4,913, LOG and the
school fund from 81, 1903, $40 03 to 50, 6s1 ,371.
Dinkelspeil of San Francisco called up
the bill appropriating $4,000 for the
maintenance of the State Board of Horti-
culture for the next two years, and told of
the iuportanI Work OF the Doaru. Inc
bill passed by a vote of 81 to nothing.
The bills passed paying the widow of A.
W. McGinniss $500, paying the claim of
Cornelius Lynch amending the law
relative to municipal bonds for public i'm
provements and repeating the acts of 1885
and 1887. Hall of Placer endeavored to
call up the bill regulating tho practice of
pharmacy, but the House would not per-
init it, and the bill went to the graveyard.

manned another reason why the matter
should be referred to the Grand Jury. He
said that some weeks ago commit
tee of Senators examined the law
and decided that the Senate had
no power to appoint committee to
sit after the Legislature had adjourned. If
this opinion be sound the appointment of
the committee proposed by Senator Fay's
resolution would be futile, and their powers
would be inadequate for the important
work. The honor and dignity of the Senate
and the well-being of the State require that
the matter be exhaustively investigated.
The effenses charged occurred in Sacra-
mento and the Grand Jury only has the
great powers necessary to probe this awful
charge to the bottom.
The substitute was adopted, and Sacra-
mentos Grand Jury will be asked to
investigate.

DUNN'S DISGRACEFUL ACT.
ATTEMPTS TO Do VIOLENCE TO
WITNESS KAHN.

WITNESS KAHN.
SACRAMENTO, March 16.--A fight be-
tween Senator Dunn and julius Kahn was
only avoided by the active interference of
bystanders at 3 o'clock this morning.
Julius Kahn and friend had entered
the barroom of the Golden Eagle and
edged their way through the crowd to the
bar. The drinks had just been ordered
when Dunn, who was in the barroom
caught sight of Kahn and made a run for
him, applying to Kahn an opprobrious
epithet. One of the local newspaper men
grabbed Dunn by the arm, but was thrust
aside. W. D. English and James Long
then grappled with Dunn, who tugged
and pulled to get away
Kahn looked at his adversary moment
and then walked away without replying to
his epithets. Dunn kept up his wordy as
sault on Kahn, and had to be held several
moments before he Gained down enough
to listen to the advise of his friends.
This afternoon Senator Dunn stated to a
friend that he was under the influence of
liquor at the time of the outbreak and
could not control himself when he saw the
man who had testified against him before
the committee. Kahn made light of the
episode.
All sorts of rumors of threats of vio-
lence have been circulated, but nothing
disturbed the peace of the Senatorial day
session.

LOUIS James, "othello. y

Tragedian Louis James was the
drawing card last night at the
opera house, though for come
reason unknown, the audience was
not crowded. "Othello" was the
bill, with Mr.. James in the title
role. His work in depicting the
love and anger Of the jealous Moor
was quite finished and very strong
at times. He was supported by
Guy Lindsey as "Iago," who
played this most difficult OF all
tragedy roles in his own peculiar
manner.
VIM. Harris was cast as "Cassio,"
Othello's young lieutenant, and
gave a pleasing Interpretation of
the part.
These, were the real actors in the
cast, and while there were others
who walked the boards, their work
was short Of the requirments OF
the play. This was notable in the
role of Emilia" wife of Iago. Even
Miss Kruger, as "Desdemona,"
though possessing a well modu-
lated, sweet voice and presenting
her part with the most appropriate
stage manners, was not sufficient
~ powerful in the many demands
of the role.
The drapings and scenes were
rich and appropriate and aided
the production materially. Thore
were several new methods intro
duced in the play, out of the ordi-
nary traditions for the production.
This was noticeable in the death OF
Desdemona, who was smothered
behind portieres in the alcove bed
chamber.
Mr.. James presented Virginius
at matinee today. "Marmion" will
be given tonight.

What the People are sayi ing.

nat the People are saying
Vice-mayor Richards has evident
ly given up his scheme to have a
$4,000 bond election, yet the vice.
mayor should not be so timid Of
the people.
The vice-mayor in his recent
message brought forward the as
phalt pavement, as something to
be tried by our city when it comes
to improving streets. The vice.
mayor says, that Houston is put
ting down asphalt streets, and we
can profit by the experience Of that
city.
Asphalt streets is not a new
thing, in fact, as street pavement,
aspL alt stands first on the list, but
it is very expensive, and should
never be put down on streets not
finished underground.
To pave our streets, even in the
business portion, would cost mill
lions, and we can only think Of a
very limited number of streets so
paved for the present.
But the vice-mayor seems to |
overlook the finest pavement in
the world-the mesquite block,
Commerce street, the squares,
Houston street are in evidence.
These streets have been down
now several years, and today do
not show any signs of wearing out,
tho pavement put down

The mesquite block can be taken
up and put down again without
great expense, and without de-
the streets.
This pavement can certainly be
built as cheaply as asphalt and ex-
perience will prove 1t to be a more
pavement.
Before we 60 into asphalt let the
block be thoroughly in
vestigated.

The PathOs of a Single Life.

One of these single women, after liv-
ing alone in her little hut on Cape
Cod, until old age, a reticent, miserly
creature, became at sixty suddenly
and violently insane. Her physician,
wiser than his kind, prescribed mo
medicine, but procured a huge doll
and the clothes of a baby, and gave
them to her. She was at once quoted
She treated the doll as if it were alive
fed it, slept with it in her arms, wor
ried over it's diseases, ran to the neigh
bors to tell of it's sayings and pretty
ways. 1t was her child; God had
given it to her at last. While she
lived it kept her occupied and happy.
