The merchants of lower Market street are
congratulating Mr.. John H. Curley, 1.-THE
Merchant Prince" of s46 Market street. Prob
ably he has made more dress suits than any
other merchant tailor in San Francisco. As
cutter and filter he is par excellence. Hard
work and the congested condition OF trade wor-
ried, fretted and oyerburdened Mr.. Curley to
such an extent that he lost his good health. He
who had been known to smile with every one
became gloomy, morose, melancholy. He suf-
fered from dyspepsia, and the agonies of the
dyspeptic cannot be written; it would be agony
to write them. When you have desire to
fight with every one, Tor no just reason, it is
time to get relief, and, luckily for Mr.. Curley,
he secured relief almost Immediately. He has
taken three bottles of joys Vegetable sarsa-
parilla, which is the great "Home Remedy, and
he pronounces this great home remedy to be
the most efficient medicine that he has ever
taken to his certain knowledge When seen by
a reporter yesterday he said: ~ have no hest

He Briefly Answers the Complaint of
County Clerk Curry.

He Briefly Answers the complaint OF
County Clerk Curry.
NJ C. Haley, ex-County Clerk, whose
administration of the office was severely
criticized by County Clerk Curry, was ques-
toned yesterday regarding the statements
of his successor. While he was not anxious
for a public controversy with Mr.. Curry
relative to the merits Of the respective ad-
ministrations he did not hesitate to throw
few broadsides at his critic.
''Mr. Curry has been endeavoring to be-
smear me ever since l vacated the office,'
said the ex-County Clerk, 'but words are
of little value when confronted with facts.
He has run up the expenses of the office
and is endeavoring to justify himself be-
fore the public. | wish him luck, but |
fancy he will find it rather difficult to con-
vince the taxpayers of the city and county
that he is right.
1.-The County Clerks office can be run for
$4,000 month, and run properly, too. Mr..
Curry says that $40, 600 month is neces-
sary to carry on the business of the Office,
which is almost doubling the expense.
when | entered the office [ did not
enter upon a crusade against my prede-
cessor. l was there to see that the work
was done and did it without any talking
During my whole administration, how
ever, there came up cases where the pre-
ceding clerks had failed to make records,
and we made them without any criticism
of anybody. AS l say, we were not there
for that purpose but for the work. to do
the best we could. Curry mentions case
where a will of 1891 was not recorded.
That was before took office.
Curry talks about the work of the pro-
bate department being behind, but it is
impossible to keep the records close up,
since there is no way of methodically doing
the business of the department. One time
we got the work all cleaned up as close as
seven days. We could not get the papers
in time to clean up the business of the
office every day.
"But as I want no controversy with Mr..
Curry | will not reply at length to his
charges. He can talk till he wearies about
me and my administration, which, be-
lieve, will bear favorable comparison with
| all that has gone before"

HIS HOME WAS BROKEN UP.
The Pathetic Story Told by G. W.
Neece, an Ex-Rancher in the
Santa Clara Valley.
His Efforts to Reclaim His Wife From
Life of Misery and Disgrace Have
Been in Vain.

G. W. Niece, teamster living at S31
Shotwell street, appeared in Judge Lows
court yesterday morning and swore out
warrants for the arrest of his wife, Laura
A. Niece, and Charles Leland on the
charge of adultery.
Neece, with tears in his eyes, told pitt
ful story. Up to two years ago he had
ranch in the Santa Clara Valley and was
happy and prosperous. His wife had borne
him four children, of which the eldest,
girl, has recently married.
Two years ago the shadow fell upon his
happy home that has since wrecked it and
made his life wretched. To his dismay he
found that his wife was unfaithful to him.
The man who betrayed his friendship and
ruined his home was John Cahill, a
laundryman in San Jose and this city.
When Cahill found that his relations
with Mrs. Neece were known to her hus-
band he fed. Niece, with vengeance in
his heart, followed his trail all over the
Pacific Coast. Cahill doubled on his tracks
and returned to San Jose about eighteen
months ago.
They met face to face few days after
Cahlll's return. Niece taxed him with his
perhdy and pulled out a revolver, which
he had carried in his pocket with the sole
purpose of killing him. He fired shot at
Cahill, but before he could fire again he
was disarmed by passer-by and held till
an officer arrived. For this offense he was
sentenced to one years imprisonment.
Neece served ten months and was then
released. He found that his home had
been broken up, and that his wife had
come to this city and had gone from bad
to worse.
1.-THE lawyers had got everything" he
said, land L had to begin life anew.
had become a saloon rounder, and was
living with this man Leland. l saw her in
dive on Sunday night last, and begged
her to return to me for the sake of our chill
dren, but she said she was too ashamed to
meet them again. l want her sent to the
Branch County Jail, so that she may have
time to sober up, and possibly see the error
of her ways and return to her children"

NEGOTIATIONS IN MoTLEY.-Amid the
making of many books that characterizes
this age and generation it is pleasure oc-
casionally to come upon book that is
manifestly not made but born. Such a
book is "Meditations in Motley" The
author Walter Blackburn Harte, is one of
the brightest and most promising of New
England's younger literary set. He de-
clares this volume of essays to be "a
bundle of papers imbued with the sobriety
of midnight" They are also imbued, be
it said, with the genial warmth and whole
someness of midday. There is in many
of the turns of these meditations a faint
suggestion of the famous "Autocrat"
at his best and sunniest, but with
here and there an indication that the
writer is following deeper lead
than the Autocrat ever struck. Again,
one traces the influence of Thoreau
in the pages, but Thoreau intensified. 1t
is apparent that Mr.. Harte, who is young,
has not yet found his own style-his char
acteristic expression-but the thought is
all his own, and albeit he sometimes COM
pels the reader to dig for it, the digging is
well worth while. 1t is long time since
81 nuCA SOilu anu
thought has been given to the world be-
tween the two covers of book. His essay
about critics and criticism is one of the
most delightful in the book. OF criticism
he says: q 1t is too often little more than
an unfavorable opinion of Pegasus expressed
by a man who is accustomed to riding
only in an omnibus" quaint and happy
conceit which we do not remember to have
seen equaled. And defying the rules, he
declares that I" self-obliterated critic is, to
my thinking, as satisfactory as a stale
Stilton cheese, so economically followed
out that only the rind remains standing.
1t possesses neither the interest of a ruin
nor of a scaffolding. 1t merely arouses
luminosity for exciting an appetite without
gratifying it."
The writer is sometimes satirical, at others
poetic. often whimsical, but always in
earnest. His earnestness despite the coat
of motley he has assumed, is tremendous.
1t permeates the whole book, and is quite
free from morbidness. If Mr.. Harte can
retain this and not lose faith, nor the sense
of literary perspective which now holds all
his work within the law of artistic con-
struction, he will yet take high rank among
the thinkers of the age. Mechanically
speaking, the publishing company has
done very well by the book The typo
graphical work is excellent, and the bind
ing in the new English cloth now in vogue
is attractive and appropriate. boston

PAGES FROM A YOU'VE MANS JOURNAL
This is the title of the initial volume of a
series of works by California writer's to be
published by Smith & Eaton of San Jose,
under the general title OF the California
Literary Series" at the uniform price of 80
cents each. The volume reflects credit
upon the publishers in every respect and
is in no wise inferior to the publications
at the same price issued by Eastern houses.
The work consists of 120 poems by Edwin
M. Casterline, written between August,
1898, and August, 1894. They represent
the meditations of the author in various
moods of mind upon such subjects as oc-
CURED to him during the year that were
capable of poetic treatment, and refer both
to European and American themes, though
mainly directed to sentiments which are
common to the youth OF our age, without
regard to locality or circumstance. MANY
of the poems were submitted before publ
cation to eminent men and women of Eng
land and America, and have received the
high Endorsement of their approval. Taken
altogether, the work is a notable contribu-
ton to California literature and the cul-
tured people of San Jose may justly regard
with satisfaction the production of such
volume in their city, inasmuch as it attests
their possession of poet OF rare talent and
publishing house capable of giving local
writer's chance to make themselves known
to the world.

AMERICAN CHARITIEs.-Amos G. Warner,
professor of economics in the Stanford
University, has embodied his studies in
philanthropy and economics in volume
OF $50 pages, including 80 statistical tables,
photographed index, etc. Recognizing
that the causes of poverty and pauperism
are manifold, Professor Warner offers no
single patent remedy. Heredity, environ
ment, social conditions, personal charac-
teristics and habits, illness, accident and
other causes combine to produce human
distress, and relief or cure must estimate
these causes at their true value and at
tack them in accordance Herewith. Be-
sides, this work is not treatise on the
general problem of the employment and
reward of labor. 1t deals more specifically
with those classes which are chronically
needy, dependent, and either pauperized
or verging upon that status
Professor Warner deals with institu-
tional methods of relieving poverty at a
length to which lack of space forbids fol-
lowing him in detail. We can only touch
few points. A reform of our jails, pris-
ons and reformatories is imperative. State
administration of charity may be effective
within institutions where it can be re-
duced to routine. 1t is untitled for out
door relief, which cannot be made routine
work, and is best committed to private or
association effort. This is especially true
of large cities. Private charities are pecu-
liarly useful in lines of philanthropic ex-
pertinent. The State of California has
granted SO much public aid to private chart
ties that our people will be interested in
the citations of evidence going to show
that such a policy is of doubtful expe-
diency. All that can be said of subsidies
in general can be said against that form of
subsidy.
The problem of the temporarily unem-
ployed in great numbers is treated briefly
as not strictly in line with the main pur-
pose of this study. In brief, the author
argues that relief by public work should be
given only after investigation of individual
cases; it should be real work, as productive
as possible and conducted on business
principles.
Finally, all the charities of State should
be organized and co-ordinated under scien-
tific methods to attain the best results.
This should be accomplished under the
