A MIDNIGHT VISITOR.
Every Mother Should Be Prepared to Battle with Croup-The Best Remedy.

Every Mother should Be Prepared to
 Battle with Croup-The Best Remedy.
 (From the Providence, R l., 2eIegrd'n)
 What word carries more terror to mother than croup, that insidious visitor who steals upon her children at night when drug stores are closed and physicians not within reach. Group does its deadly work quick, and if not met at the outset with stringent methods is almost sure to prove conqueror. Every mother should keep a remedy where she can reach 1t at the first Ominous bark. It has been truly said that a bottle of Perry Davis Pain-Killer on the medicine shelf insures greater safety from such ills than would doctor in your house, Pain Killer was the chief remedy of our grandfathers and with all the advances ofsci- encenothing has been found to take it's place.
 For croup it is without an equal. An instance of this was yesterday cited to reporter by Mrs. J. B. c. Hoskins, of No. 30 Marion Street, the wife of one of the sturdy wheelwrights of Providence, R. l.
 Nobody knows the anxiety, the torture of mind I have experienced because of croup, Hours of sleep have lost while watching at the bedside of my boy, who has suffered almost a thousand deaths from croup in it's worst form. I tried every remedy that kind friends could suggest. All failed me, and I was in despair. Pain Killer finally conquered the terrible disease. My boy is now seven years old, and whenever I see that croup is returning give Pain Killer. In twenty minutes the trouble IS over and we both go to sleep.
 'Pain-Killer? Why wouldn't be with out it in my house a moment for kings ransom. I feel as though it cured my 20' year old son of bronchitis after all other remedies failed, and it saved me the prob able loss of limb from a broken artery, caused by the kick of a vicious horse. Pain-Killer at once reduced the swelling and prevented blood-pOisOning."

HIS MYSTERIOUS NOTE,
One of Senator Fairs for
100000 of Which There
Is No Record.
It Was Made In Favor of Senator
Stahford-Believed to Be
Bogus.

A new mystery has appeared in the Fair
estate, which although of lesser magnitude
than pencil wills and unsupported heirs, is
still interesting. 1t is a note for 100000
made and signed by James G. Fair in favor
of Leland Stanford Stanford Endorsed it
over to some one unknown at this time,
and it was finally sent to the First National
Bank Of this city for collection. The man
who sent it gave his name and address as
w. S. Howell P o. box 1915, New York.
The note is dated from New York on May
%, 1890, and as it was so near maturity the
bank officials sent it up to the Office of the
Fair estate at once. The executors refused
to honor the note. They said no record of
any such transaction appeared on the
books of the estate and they did not be-
lieve the note was genuine one.
The Stanford estate is equally ignorant
on the subject. Charles G. Lathrop, secre-
tary of the estate, says there is no men
ton of any such note in any of his records,
and he knows nothing whatever about a
man named Howells, or that he ever
bought note from the late Senator Stan
ford.
The note natures on May %, and the
First National Bank will again present it
to the Fair estate on that day for payment
OF course payment will be refused, and the
note will be returned to w. S. Howells,
box 1915, New York. 1t is generally be-
leved that the note is counterfeit,
although both signatures, particularly that
of Senator Stanford, bear every evidence
of being genuine.

SENATOR GESF0RD HURT.
He Has a Narrow Escape From Being
Blinded by Flying Bits
of Glass.

Senator Henry C.. Gesford of Napa had
his eyes filed with powdered glass while
en- route to San Francisco yesterday after
noon.
Some small boys of Oakland have a
habit of throwing pebbles at passing
trains. Once or twice they have broken
car windows.
Just before the train from the north
drew into the Sixteenth-street station at
Oakland a stone crashed through a window
in the middle of the car. The splintered
glass few into the face of T. R. Barker of
Napa, who was sitting near the aisle in the
seat next the window. A few slight cuts
were inflicted. but none were dangerous.
A second later the finer glass dust was
blown into the eyes of Senator Gesford,
who was sitting beside Mr.. Barker, but
close to the window. In an instant he was
almost blinded and the other occupants of
the car ran to his assistance
1t was fully five minutes before he could
open his eyes at all. BY that time the
tears had washed out many of the particles
of glass.
Mr.. Gesford was driven at once to his ho-
tel upon arriving in this city. There he
filled the lids with sweet oil and an ocu-
list was sent for. Fortunately none of the
minute PARTICLES of glass appear to have
cut the eyeball. The doctor announced
that no danger need be unprecedented.

THE OARSMEN ARE BUSY.
Barge Crews From Various
Clubs Are in Active
Training.
Prizes-Duplissea Fine
Stroke.

Reports from barge crews in training at
the various boat clubs for the South Ends
big regatta at Ell Campo on May 80 show
that the winning crew will have to make
much faster time than any heretofore made
on this coast.
The Olympic crew is training regularly.
They seldom miss day and are already
rowing in splendid form. Bob Macarthur
is getting together still another crew from
his club. Phillips, the well-known
wrestler, and Cameron. known to football
fame, are the latest additions to the Olym-
pic Clubs oarsmen.
st. Mary's College will most likely be
represented by the following crew: Nc
Isaacs, stroke; Cooney, after waist; So
rocco, forward waist, and Hupp, bow.
They are strong and improving wonder
fully. They row over the course with a
good, even stroke and without showing
signs of fatigue.
The Acme boys are probably training
hardest of all. Four crews are rowing daily
from the boathouse of the University Boat
Club in Sessions Basin under the coaching
of Henry Tank, an old member of the
Ariel Rowing Club.
letter has been received from Gus G..
Grant secretary of the Stockton Athletic
Association, stating that there is boom
in rowing in Stockton, and that his club
will send down two crews to compete for
the coast championship in the regatta.
At the lighthouses of the South Ends,
Ariels, Pioneers and Dolphins much en-
tbusiasm is displayed. Besides the Olym-
pic and st. Mary's crews, two crews,
senior and junior, are training from the
South Enus' boathouse.
Young Frank Duplissea takes a daily
spin in his shell. 1t would be almost i'm
possible to improve upon his stroke, and
it is safe to predict that before he is many
years older he will not only be coast cham.
pion, but strong candidate for the Amer
lean amateur championship.
Wittkopp, last year amateur champion,
has again taken to his she'll and is in active
training. Among the other promising
single scullers are Larkey and Pendergast
of the Ariels and Hanniver and Scully of
the South Ends.
Charley Long, for years champion of the
Pacific Coast, has been rowing in a wherry
for the past two weeks. He is fast getting
into his old-time form and will soon be
seen in his shell.
Taking all things into consideration the
South Ends regatta has undoubtedly
brought rowing up to the front among
athletic sports. The different clubs have
numerous applications for admission, and
clubs having membership of but seventy
five a month ago have now over hun
dred. Enlargement of lighthouses and
purchases of new boats and equipments is
now the order of the day.

There were several falls, but no accidents
to mar the days sport, and after the race
the riders returned to the city in splendid
spirits at having had such a satisfactory
race.

problems of the day. The club and its
guest then adjourned to the large back
parlors, where lunch was spread and
around the banqueting board the evils of
the hour and the remedies to be applied
were deliberately discussed.
DR.. Heron was called upon to express
himself upon all points about which there
was the slightest doubt in the minds of

was in every respect delightful one. the
teachings of the disciple of sociology being
particularly entertaining.
