Many suffer from serious disorders
Of the liver and stomach. Impurities
in the blood tend to poison the vital
fluid. The failure of the organs to
properly remove the waste from the
system allows the germs of disease to
accumulate and not until the whole
system is affected do many realize that
impure blood is the cause of all their
trouble. Mr.. Sidney S. Mastcn of
Pleasant Valley, N. Y, whose tcstimo-

lead poison and gradually his whole
system became affected. He resorted
to Hoods Sarsaparilla and in it found

the liver and kidneys to natural action;

strength and vigor has followed his
taking Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read and

SpOrtSmen Who Will Leave on
Wednesday for the Far

A party of sportsmen, who have yearn-
ing for big-game shooting and also pros
pecting for hidden treasure, will leave this
City in few days for Cooks Inlet, Alaska,
on board the barkentine Marion, which is
now lying at Howard-street wharf. Be-
sides rifles and ammunition, the trim little
craft is receiving large quantity of imple-
ments, such as are used for mining pur-
poses
In conversing with one of the sports
men, who expects to return with numerous
trophies of the chase, such as bear and
silver fox skins and the furs of other ami
mails indigenous to the country sof the
north, the pleasure-hunter said that in
the country about Sitka large game is very
plentiful and man to be successful in
bagging his quarry and escaping from the
attacks of wounded animals must be a
first-class marksman and possessed of
great nerve.
"Of course we intend to do considerable
mining also," said the sportsmen, sas the
gold fields of Cooks Inlet bid fair to be as
important as the Yukon River mines
Last year rich placer digging of coarse gold
were discovered, and who knows but that
our party will return rich in gold as we'll
as rich in health, after most enjoyable
soiourn in the northern country. The
barkentine will leave here on Wednesday
and will go direct to Cooks Inlet, thence to
Sitka, Alaska, leaving the latter place on
its return trip about the latter part of
June. Any sportsmen having fancy for
a voyage of this kind to a country where
bear, moose and mountain sheep are plen-
tiful, should certainly take advantage of
the opportunity before the great game near
the towns already mentioned is killed off -

months. AS result street-sweeping by
hand was inaugurated and between 200
and $50 men were set to work with brooms
and shovels. Besides this large force there
were from $50 to $50 standing applicants
for work who could not be employed for
the lack of money and means. During the
winter months, when times were hard and
employment was scarce, this list was
alarmingly large. Soon after the opening
of the spring the list began to decrease,
and now there are no more applicants than
can be provided with work.
"It shows one thing said President
Dohrmann. ''Times are getting better,
and those who few months back were
destitute are now at work Of course we
could get any number of single men and
non-residents of the City, who would take
hold of street-sweeping as a means of
earning a few dollars, but we have no in
tention of providing work for any but men
with families. This decrease is one of the
best and most satisfactory signs of better
times that we have yet seen, for it shows
that these people are getting better work
and wages than we are able to offer"

A Strong Presentation of the Case
Made to the Police Com
miSSionerS.

In accordance with the action of the
board of directors of the Manufacturers

lowing communication was yesterday sent
to the Board of Police Commissioners:
Alta meeting of the board of directors OF the

nicate with your honorable body in reference
to the uniforms OF police officers of this City

We have learned through the daily press of
this City that contracts were about to be let 10

through its members, represents an invested
capital of from SIS 600 900 to $4,000, 600,
with membership of 600, being heavy tax
payers of this State and also of the City and
County of San Francisco, we deemed it our

body 10 the fact that to-day in San Francisco
there exist manufacturers of clothes who are
under contract with the United States Govern
ment in supplying them with uniforms, and
we are assured by said manufacturers that they
will guarantee to furnish the police officers of
your department with goods OF equal quality
and durability to any that can be furnished by
any foreign manufacturer, and at less cost of
fully 20 per cent,
We deem this matter case of the utmost
Importance, and hope that your honorable
body will give our letter full and careful con-
sideration.
Should you desire any further information
on the subject we will take pleasure in having
q representative call upon you at any time or
place you may designate. Respectfully,
JULIAN SONNTAG,
Acting Chairman Executive Committee.
L. +. MEAD, secretary.
1t is expected that some definite action
will be taken by the Police Commissioners
at their meeting on Monday evening next.
No effort will be spared by the Manufac-
turers' Association to carry their point in
this matter, as they deem it will furnish
an excellent test of their influence.

GEORGE RoMER's LIFELONG DREAM.

hammock and mattress, and the hundreds
of bright golden dollars which the Navy
Department had given him. But the good
old receiving ship opened her wide gang
way and took him back, never asking any
questions of the past nor insisting on guar
antees for the future, and on the honor
able discharges, which he carried carefully
wrapped in sheepskin, he was given the
three months extra pay which Uncle Sam
always presents to his worthy sea nephews
who come back within ninety days.
The prodigal clothed himself in the
raiment of the ocean-blue and white like
the waves-ate the fatted corned calf from
the paymaster's stores, and-and said
nothing. Nor did his shipmates ever stop
him long enough in his 'wood-sawing'' to
tell of the chicken ranch. Nor was there
any indication that he had been cruising
among the coops.
Not stray feather rested upon him,
nestled in his hair; not even a faint sug-
gestion of down was around him. But the
men never "ioshed" him upon his life
ashore failure The old man was broken
something stormy. There is often a deli
cacy and a consideration found among
rough hardened men of the sea not known
among the finer folks ashore.
After awhile the disappointment wore off
and Romer was again leaving the navy.

high, windy to'gallant forecastle and even
the mainmast heard the story. Again
Paddy White grumbled rustily down in
his throat at Romer's ''chicken-yard CUFF, -
as he called it, and Fisher broke out his
ancient weather-worn joke-yarns to do
duty in their old age for the editication of
the gangways.
The three years mustered away in the
graves of the dead past, Romer received his
big discharge and pay and left the navy
forever, so he said-and the curtain
went down upon his further movements
till he reappeared aboard. the receiving
ship several weeks after.
But it is needless to follow here the sue
ceeding enlistments that swept poor old
Romer on from ship to ship. The airy
chicken ranch always hung in his view
just over the rail, as it were, but he never
reached it. He was always leaving, but
never could leave the navy.
But one morning the boatsYain and his
merry mates piped blithely, Cup all
hands!' through the ship, and George
Romer lay still. 1t was something I'M
usual to not hear his silver whistle calling
in the sweet sea dawn. They looked into
his hammock hanging alone on the berth
deck and the calm, peaceful face upturned
to them there told them that George Ro-
mer had left the nayy-at last-for all time.

The Executive Committee of the State
Association Discuss the Programme
for the Winter Gath ering.
The executive committee of the Cali
fornia Teachers Association met in the
committee-room of the Board of Education
yesterday. President Earl Barnes presided,

Several questions relating to education
were discussed, but no action was taken on
any particular issue. There was general
exchange of ideas. Relative to programme
for the annual winter gathering, which
will be held this year at Oakland just
before New Years, the preliminaries were
discussed and the committee adjourned to
meet on June 90.
At the annual gatherings the methods of
teaching and other questions relating to
the schoolroom are discussed. The ex-

How OLD ROVER
LEFT THE NAVY.

George Romer said he was going to leave
the navy. He told it all around the ship
along the. fore and main topmen's gang
ways, and even spread it over the to- gal
liant forecastle..

are high and hide the sea, any yarn can be
passed along and at least be treated with
some respect, even if not accepted as ortho-

took it into his confidence, especially when

BY A NATURALIST AT LARGE.

Down among the watercress lust now,
studying the movements of a mammoth
slug, was startled by shadow falling
directly across my hands. At the same
instant there was general excitement and
running to cover of a bevy of song spar
rows, who, unmindful of my presence,
were lettering about on the tall, swaying
mustard stalks.
CHANGING upward 1 saw, between me and
the sun, a pigeon-hawk, soaring on motion
less wings, so high up as to seem a mere
speck against the sky.
I watched him with a certain sense of
exultation, as round and round he circled,
with hardly a movement of his out
stretched wings. High though he poised,
my thought could reach him. Strong
though his fight, my imagination could
follow and outstrip him. He, high above
my head-above the mountainous, it
might Returned ever toward the earth
his gaze His thoughts, his desires were
there. To materialize them he had
mounted the sky. Down here, my feet
upon the earth, yet had l moments of be-
ing more truly than he a creature of the
empyrean.
Something of this sort passed through
my brain as l watched the circling hawk.
Presently there was fash of the strong
wings, and then more swiftly than the
binding lightning, he dropped earthward.
A venturesome sparrow that had strayed
from the shelter of the swamp-wilIow fed
shrieking to hide. Quick though the
hunter was, his prey was quicker still.
The tragedy was averted, and once more
the hawk turned and climbed swiftly up
the air.

phrase to describe the fight of bird. Fly

victim of the air. like balloon, which is
quite unable to shape course, or do other
than float aimlessly about at the mercy of
the wind. The balloon floats because it is
lighter than the air. The bird, on the
contrary, is heavier than the air, which he
displaces. He only moves in the air by
virtue of his power TO extract from it, by
the motion of his wings, sufficient recoil to
propel himself.
