The Big Steamer Peking Breaks Her
Record and Comes In on Time.
The Pacific Mail steamship City OF
Peking, IA days and hours from Yoko-
hama, arrived from the Orient yesterday
morning. The luck of the big liner seems
to have changed for the better during the
last two trips, as she has gotten into port
ahead of time, her habit heretofore being
to use up several days more than her
schedule allowance.
The following is the list of her cabin pas
sengers: Mrs. HI. c. Dearborn, Mrs. H. E.
Doberck, Leo Edwards, w. W. Lowe.
Ralph Lowe, Miss E. NJ. Reynolds, Miss
Fanny Hawkins, Nawab Emad Nawaz

Mrs. H. G. Dearborn is the wife of for
mer captain in the Pacific Mail Company
and is returning home from visit to her
daughter in China.

but it is attractive in all its uncouthness
all the same.
The stains of its ceaseless round of toll
are forever upon it, for as long as the attri-
ton of the land goes down into the chan
nels of the sea the huge thing of steam and
metal must work. Time was when the
tides coming and going swept their own
tracks clean, but now the debris from the
shore quickly fills the ways of navigation,
and the dredger must move it on.
AT least once year on the water front OF
great city the bottom of the bay must be
scraped down to the hardpan and the con-
slant drift from the streets shoveled away
from the wharves.
There is seeming of reason in the mere
mechanical movements of the great arms
that dip down to grope in the unseen
deeps. One forgets that the mind of the
machine is in the hand that manipulates
the chains and wheels of the clumsy affair,
and for the time being the dredger itself is
apparently the mind that guides its mo,

quiet corner and talked finances with
beardless youngster, and found more
pleasure in the task than President Cleye-
land has found for many months.
Despite the strict rules that govern the
best French society of this city, there
cropped out every now and then dash of
degage enjoyment as pleasurable when
seen to the performers as to the audience.
One very demurely dressed young lady had
evidently been attacked by the dancing
craze and behind one of the larger booths
gave object lessons to vacuous counte-
nanced young male. There were Just one
or two t1utters of drapery and glimpses of
polished boot, but the general effect would
have done credit to Cissy Fitzgerald.
The evident concern evinced by the young
lady when she found larger audience
than she had counted upon proved the sin
cerlty OF her attempt and the innocence of
the effort.
1t is not often that gentlemen stand in
evening dress and cry out the value of
wares for public sale and probably on that
account the spectacle of a young gentle
man yelling: "Look at her; she's daisy.

attracted considerable attention. AS ad
lunctS the young man had an auctioneer
and brass bell. The metal of the bell lost
voice. The intent of the whole was the
sale of tickets for floral doll christened
Flora and, in itself, a very pretty thing.
With such attractions and forms of fun

Even the at one time admitted gentler

past graduate of Worth could desire, were
asked to select the six prettiest women in
the ballroom. This is the list upon which
the whole committee actually agreed. No
member of the committee is on the list.
Their names as agreed upon were: Mes
DANES Rosalie Stern and Hilda Rothchild,
and Mademoiselles Minnie Lewis, Mabel
Gerst, Stella Triest and Dora Rosenthal.
Seven men were asked to deny the awards
made to the San Francisco Helens, but no
man was brave enough or there was no
cause.
When the band stopped and reluctant

there was the plainly but politely ex-

True, things were sold, but with casual

them were white, nut they all tugged at
their strings, and when a dainty brown

walked through the big hall holding with
both hands the strings of half score of

1t is pure folly toeXperiment with the variety
of plans advertised as ''sure cures for catarrh
and other chronic diseases when it is known
for a positive fact that there is one system, and
one only, which is invariably successful and
brings about permanent cure
This is known as the Copeland system. The
people of this coast have known il for wears
since Drs Copeland and Neal have been estab-
lished here. 1t is system that applies thor
ough local and constitutional treatment, with
medicines specially adapted to each individual
case. 1t has nothing to do with "cures" or
''remedies" which suggest quackery in their
very name. 1t is thorough scientific system
of treatment, clean, wholesome, soothing mild
and effective. 1t has cured thousands Of suf-
ferers and is curing thousands every year.

To add to the epidemic Martin CANA

was much worse than the bride, so it was
decided that the ceremony should take
place at his home, at the corner of Vallejo

there soon after 7 o'clock, accompanied by
Lucia, looking very pretty in red and black
and carrying large bunch of violets care
fully enveloped in tissue paper. Lucia s
father and several family friends were
with the party. The bridegroom, looking
wan and pale and smiling with pleasure
that the ceremony had not been de-
ferred received the visitors with po-
lite remarks and chairs, and before
the boy had quite realized what was going
on the Judge had read him little homily
assuring him of his parents consent, and
had made him benedict.
Then there were congratulations all
round, and Lucia said good-by to her hus-

THEIR CREDENTIALS.

Dr. Copeland is a graduate of Bellevue Hos
pital Medical. College OF New York City, was
president of his class in that famous institu-
tion, and after thorough hospital training and
experience devoted his time and attention to
the special lines of practice named. Passed
through a similar course, Dr. J. G. Neal, who
has been for years associated with DR.. Cope
land. DR.. Neal won first honors in class of
over 400, by virtue of which he received the
appointment of resident physician to the City
Hospital. He filed the position with honor,
and received the hospital diploma. He also
holds several gold medals for special excellence
in various branches of medicine, and after
graduation was elected an adjunct professor of
his college. They devote themselves entirely
to the treatment of their specialties. Years
of experience of their special lines, preceded
by extensive hospital work, have fitted them in
a notable degree for the practice of their pro-
fessiOn.
